The Irrationality of modern atheism
What we nowadays call “atheism”, is in fact a very old idea; one that has tried to conquer humanity’s mind
since the beginning of time. The Sodomites, Esav, Pharaoh, Korah, and Nebuchadnezzar are just a few
ancient examples of practical atheists: people who refused to submit to any Supreme Being, other than
themselves.
Up until 2,000 years ago, Hebrew people refered to Atheists with the Greek word “Apicoros” (Epicureans).
In our present time, modern atheists clothe their ideology with a halo of scientific respectability, as if
scientific respectability is a sort of magic wand, capable of erasing Hebrew history; it’s liberation from
Egypt, it’s miraculous wandering in the wilderness, the conquest of the promised land, it’s continued
survival.
Modern atheists propose that Hebrew historians are a bunch of liars: that there was no Moses, no Exodus, no
Holy Ark, no manna, no stone tablets, no staff of Aaron, etc. In fact, they even suggest that the Hebrew feast
of Pesach is a dirty lie, as there was no death of Egyptian firstborns.
Modern atheist wants us to believe that there is no Creator, and that our present reality (all of it!) is the result
of a mindless [and random] process of evolution; an evolution that is solely driven by “the survival of the
fittest”.
What’s the problem with this argument? The problem is that it’s self defeating. In other words, If evolution is
true, then “reason” is just a figment of our imagination: a clever illusion devised by the evolutionary process,
in order to assist us to adapt and survive our hostile environment. Why? Because, having no intrinsic
intelligence within itself, evolution's primary goal cannot be to give us “reason”, nor for that sake any tool
that would reliably enable us to ascertain “the Truth” (or even “the Reality”) of our environment (our
universe); It's all about survival !!
In other words, evolution has no “reason” to give us any “reason”; no reason to let us accurately understand
“the truth” of our existence. Instead, what evolution aims at, is forcing us to interpret our surroundings in a
way we can cope with; a way that fosters our survival [regardless of the “truthfulness”, or the “accuracy” of
our interpretation]. Thus, in a rather ironic fashion, evolution gives us no “reason” to blindly believe in
“reason”.
In fact, the reason why some pretend to use their alleged reason in order to justify their atheism might be that
such mechanism is indeed evolution's way of helping them survive an environment they perceive as hostile.
In other words, it is evolution's way of helping the homosexual [or the morally weak personality] to adapt
and survive what he perceives as a threatening religious environment. So, if pure evolution is indeed true, the
evolutionary “mirage” of “reasoned Atheism” is evolution's way to let atheists survive their hostile
environment.
And, if so, they shouldn't feel ashamed to be intellectually honest, and proceed to acknowledge it. It's sort of
like the story of the American soldier who, while serving in Vietnam, fell in love with a Vietnamese girl.
Sadly, the girl was so poor, that she couldn't even afford to buy deodorant. What did the soldier do? He
stopped using deodorant himself.
After a while, he got so used to his hostile environment (both his girlfriend's as well as his own bad odor),
that he no longer sensed it-- of course, the lack of stench was only a fancy illusion, with no connection to
reality, but with lot's of survival value (they ended up having a baby!).
