No insult intended to any diehard christians out there, but here's why I think god isn't real.
Okay, the first thing is god has never shown himself, just a bunch of totally untrustworthy sources saying that he "spoke to them" (I mean Mary, a what...30+ year old virgin?), hell, when I drink a lot of beer I SWEAR the table is rubbing my balls.
Second, who are the three wise men? They were a bunch of rich lunatics (not uncommon in the day - have a geezer at Emperor Commodus...who was in fact real, but incorrectly protrayed in Gladiator) having a midnight walkabout and decided to follow a star...I tried following a star once when I was drunk and low and behold, I was led to a toilet just in the nick of time. Toilet must've been a god send.
Third, some guy who performed magic tricks told EVERYONE he was the son of god, and showed his magical prowess in order to prove it. People back in the day were a stupid bunch (I mean, who the hell worships a bloody golden bull?), if Jesus wanted to he could have if he wanted to claimed he was god himself, or better yet, if he was demented he could have pointed to a flower and said "That is god!" and the stupid people would gather round and praise it. It just happened that he was an impressionable youth who was told by his mum "you are god's son". Hell, I'm sure if David Copperfield went back now, he could get people to believe that a piece of stone was god too.
Thank you for listening.
