Religion

[UtterParadox]

I remembered, recently, a very interesting conversation between myself (an agnostic), a man with red hair whose name I cannot remember (a devoted Christian), and a man with black hair whose name I also cannot remember (beliefs unknown). We were discussing the theory of evolution, which the red-haired man did not believe. When the black-haired man asked how humanity formed without the benefit of evolution, the red-haired man said two words: "He spoke."

Just like that: "He spoke." To nonbelievers like myself, it's a ridiculous statement. To believers, it's the last word.

The very idea of a god - an omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent being beyond our reality - makes the existence or nonexistence of it a moot point as far as argument goes. If you found scrolls hidden in Israel that predated the planet and turned out to be God's personal diary, nonbelievers would argue that they are obvious forgeries, while believers would trumpet the "final proof".

It's like arguing about the existence of "fate". If fate does exist, then you don't have a choice as to whether or not to believe in it. So arguing becomes a bit pointless.
