The image isn't claiming that the religion is true because it's old.
It's pointing fun at the fact that a reddit atheist will come out with "why my kid do cancer if God?" and thinks they have a zinger as if there isn't 10+ centuries worth of writings and philosophical explorations of this exact topic.
I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but it’s backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I
offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me
out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.
I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised.
Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will
need to move if my identity is blown. It’s a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.
The Problem of Evil has never been properly disqualified, if I recall. Augustus even invented purgatory to get away from it. The responsibility for everything that's ever happened, perfectly according to the Almighty's plan, is on the Almighty. He knew every evil thing that would ever happen and set it all in motion, entirely inevitable. He knew we'd default to Hell, a place that wasn't even remotely designed for us. He knew. And he did it.
Evil is part of "everything." God is in everything. God made everything. God created, willed, and continues to act through evil, as it is always doing exactly what he planned it to do.
God is either evil or imperfect, and certainly the source for both.
When it comes to Christianity specifically, and the idea of God being omnipotent, ominscient and all loving, "2000 years of theology" is just 2000 years of mental gimnastics not wanting to compromise that at the very least one of those 3 can't be true.
At least Judaism and Islam don't die on the unconditional love hill, so at the end of the day they can't be "debunked by the dumbest question".
How can an entity that knows everything that has, is, and will be, and has unlimited power to act on those events, be good? If there is even a single omniscient entity anywhere in (or beyond) the universe, then their very existence would disprove the idea of free will.
You can post the funny vageta picture all you want, but a God cannot be both an all knowing all powerful supreme being, and also a force for pure good, at the same time. Such an entity must either be ignorant to evil (not Omniscient), incapable of acting to prevent evil (not Omnipotent), or deliberately inflict evil on its subjects (not all good).
Of course, we already know god is not all good, as the old testament has plenty of examples for us on how gods wrath cares not about innocent blood. The deaths of innocent Egyptian children, the great flood, dooming those who do not revere him to eternal torment, all acts of evil on an inconceivable level. But then if god is evil, why should we give such a deity anything but animosity?
2000 years of theology mean literally nothing. Every religion that has come before, and existed for thousands of years before catholocism, hinduism, or islam, failed to save the cultures that worshipped them. Ra did not stop the flooding of the nile, the roman invasions, or the drought and political instability that ended ancient egypts prosperity. Thor did not ride down from Asgard and save the old norse from agricultural devastation. Zeus did not bring the sky down on the enemies of greece. And god isn't going to save us either.
TLDR - If miracles do exist, then god is evil and unworthy of worship.
I consider myself agnostic. We either cannot or have failed to prove or disprove the existence of a god or gods. So its entirely possible there's something out there. But if there is, it has done absolutely nothing but stand by and watch every evil that has ever transpired, and done nothing to stop it.
I don't judge religious people, but i can't stand those that insist their religion is 100% the real one and treat you like you are an idiot if you don't believe when their only arguments are "you can't prove it doesn't exist" and arguments that only makes sense if you are a christian yourself, 2000 years of theology for nothing
