Finally, proof that God is stupid

Posted by Nildogma at Sunday, April 06, 2014
God is said to be omniscient and unchanging. But what are the implications of these characteristics?

1) Stupid people cannot learn
God cannot learn because he knows everything.

2) Stupid people won't change their minds
God cannot change his mind because he has a perfect plan. If he changes his mind, his plan would become imperfect.

3) Stupid people cannot make decisions
God can only do what is in his plan and nothing else. All God's decisions are predetermined by his plan.

4) Stupid people can't make plans
God cannot have made his plan because if he had made it, there would have been a time when he didn't know everything so he would not have been omniscient. But God cannot change so he must always have been omniscient. Therefore, the plan must be older than God. Therefore God cannot have created his own plan.

So we have a God that functions like a computer program, doing exactly what he has been told to do—no more and no less with no intelligence required.  Is there any point in praying to such a God for help? What do you think?

Of course God is not really stupid because God does not exist. But the men who invented him, now they really were stupid. 

I wonder how many millions of people would have lived longer, happier lives if it were not for the invention of the Abrahamic God?

    Your logic is faulty. Additionally, none of your statements about "stupid" people is true. Stupid is a subjective term as well. These are just a few of the things that make your argument unconvincing and quite frankly, kind of stupid. Applying human conditions and logic to a presumed non-human entity pretty much invalidates this from the beginning.

      Thank you for your comments Anonymous.

      Stupid is defined as lacking intelligence.

      I agree with two things you said. There is subjectivity when we use the term "stupid". This is because we don't usually assess stupidity through formal intelligence testing; we assess it by a person's behaviours. When a person does things that we regard as unintelligent, we might think of them as stupid.

      I also agree that none of the things I attribute to stupid people are completely true. For example, a stupid person may be able to learn and may be capable of making decisions.

      But I used this device intentionally to highlight just HOW stupid God is. God cannot learn ANYTHING; God cannot EVER change his mind; God cannot make ANY decisions and God cannot have made his plan and cannot make any further plans. God can only follow instructions he did not create.

      God is actually infinitely more stupid (judged by his behaviour) than a human being that we might give this epithet to. I thought this contrast was interesting but you obviously didn't get it.

    Here is a run down of the theist comments we will have here.
    "My imaginary tyrant is not human therefore he can not be put into your atheist box of lies that question what I've been brainwashed into believing all my life! La la la la la la I'm not listening! You're going to hell but I'll still pray for you even though God's plan is unchanging and somebody as small and insignificant as I can't make him change it!"

About Me

Nildogma
As a 20-year-old I was insatiably curious about the world and passionate about rejecting superstitions and all kinds of false beliefs. I still am today. Sometimes when people believe things that are not true, it make little or no difference but sometimes the consequences can be disastrous and deadly. Now, I do what I can to help people improve their thinking skills, especially in how they impinge on core beliefs, such as cultural values and religious beliefs. I have an active Facebook page for which I create memes and write articles almost daily. I also engage people in on-line debates. You can find me here: https://www.facebook.com/bill.flavell.1 I lecture at universities around the world and present or debate at public meetings. I also, draw on my management consultancy background to help freethought groups, almost anywhere in the world, to get organised, develop strategy and improve their media and presentation skills. If you would like me to present at your university or for your church group or freethought group, please contact me.
