GOD

A Critical Examination

So, Eternal Suffering Awaits Anyone Who Questions Gawd's Infinite Love? Just think about that.

Introduction

Welcome to Gawdless

Call bullshit on religion – it is completely fallacious. We don’t believe that the “pious” actually believe the idiotic buy bull stories. It’s fear. It’s fear. Nothing but fear of disease, fear of a myriad of disasters and, ultimately fear of death. “Faith” based on lies and relentless fear-mongering.

Delve into the myriad evils foisted on mankind by organized religions (it would require volumes to document all of it).
Recount the unholy alliance between the christian church and fascist, totalitarian regimes throughout history. Since “believers” constitute the most cohesive and motivated segment of the American electorate their views and prejudices influence almost every decision of national importance. And we now know where that has taken the U.S.

As we will see, the history of christ-insanity is principally a story of mankind’s ignorance and misery rather than of its requited love of gawd. Religions were created to control and subjugate the masses, not for their benefit. Suffer in this (the only) life for the reward of eternal bliss. Violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism and tribalism and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children – organized religion is little more than Hate Clubs for the fearful and the ignorant.

“To escape the gnarled hands that reach out to drag us back to the catacombs and reeking altars and guilty pleasures of subjection and abjection we must banish all religions!”

Reason is our only shield against the darkness of inherited superstition.

01 First and foremost, religions are a priori fraudulent.

The pagan myths and fables that underpin all religions are absurd, ludicrous and idiotic, puerile and downright silly. Stated another way, it’s all bullshit! Religion is man-made.

The Problem of Divine Authority

Even the men who crafted it cannot agree on what their prophets or redeemers or gurus said or did. Still less can they hope to tell us the “meaning” of later discoveries and developments which were, when they began, either obstructed or denounced by their religions.

When multiple mutually exclusive truths claim to be the only truth, logic dictates they cannot all be correct. At best, one might be; more likely, none are.

The Burden of Proof

The extraordinary claim requires extraordinary evidence. No religion has ever provided verifiable, falsifiable proof of its central tenets after thousands of years.

Faith, by definition, is belief without evidence. In any other context, we would call this dangerous. Why do we make an exception for religion?

02 Self Audit & Boundaries

Identify where your beliefs came from (tradition, pressure, fear, grooming) — not evidence. Then set clear boundaries — stop consuming content that reinforces guilt, threats, or “spiritual” intimidation.

A — Conflict

The Crusades & Beyond

Throughout history, religious differences have been a significant factor causing myriad conflicts and wars. Due to the complexity of conflicts, overlapping motivations and varying interpretations, it’s impossible to provide a precise number of wars directly attributed to religion.

B — Discrimination

Systemic Oppression

Religious beliefs have often been used to justify discrimination and persecution against certain groups (religious minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals and others deemed “heretical” or “impure).” Seriously, the irrational, unwarranted and totally undeserved obsession with transgendered people (yes they are people like the rest of us) is a prime example.

C — Science

Suppressing Discovery

At various points in history, religion institutions have suppressed scientific knowledge that contradicted their doctrines, leading to periods of intellectual stagnation and hindering scientific progress. And they’re still trying to dumb-down the masses in order to maintain control.

D — Human Rights

Eroding Freedoms

Religious beliefs have been used to justify human rights violations including slavery, forced conversions, genital mutilation, honor killings and the subjugation of women.

03 Build a Meaningful Life without It

Stop relying on religion for “answers,” identity, and comfort. Replace it with real-world meaning — relationships, ethics you can justify, personal goals, and a community that doesn’t demand fear or submission.

“Believing” in religious dogma diminishes, or removes entirely, the most basic natural right of human beings – the ability to impact their destiny by using their innate intellect to form opinions as to how the world operates.

“Believing” in the bullshit that is the entirety of every religion stymies one’s intellectual development and thus one’s ability to achieve their social, economic and interpersonal potential. Religion cuts the feet from under those who succumb to the concept of predestination found in the buy-bull.

04 Terminology Reclamation

Why We Say "Gawd"

It is a deliberate phonetic spelling designed to strip the word of its inherited reverence and examine it as just another human construct.

JESUS

GEE-ZUS

Phonetic Liberation

BIBLE

BUY-BULL

The Commercial Truth

GOD

GAWD

GAWD IS A FRAUD

05 Finally, because religion stymies individual emotional and intellectual development.

Before going further allow us to affirm that we can spell words correctly. Also, note that we confine this site to the Christian religion, which we know better than we do other, competing religions. In order to mock christ-insanity we refer to “jesus” as gee-zus. We refer to the “bible” as the “buy-bull” and we refer to “god” as “gawd”. The most basic statement we make is that “gawd is a fraud”.

This piece is full of derision, ridicule, scorn and contempt for any and all things associated with christ-insanity (and by extension to any religion). This site is replete with mockery, contempt and disdain for all things religious. And for anyone who believes (or more likely pretends to believe) in any religion.

We’ll look briefly into the disastrous situation that christ-insanity has brought us at the end of 2024. In the ultimate irony, the convenient idiot and poster boy for today’s christfascist movement (whom I refer to as diaper boy) has been re-installed in the White House. One is hard pressed to find anyone that is more antithetical of traditional Christian values.

We prefer to think of the christofascists in terms of the following meme (showing of course the “important” matters they focus on):

Step 01

Our primary task in this endeavor is to identify those beliefs that seem least likely to survive another thousand years of human inquiry (or those most likely to prevent it) and subject them to sustained criticism and, ultimately, rejection.

Step 02

Judging from the results of our most recent election, however, one must wonder if the nonstop repetition of heinous, repressive dogma has not dragged the United States back into the fourteenth century. Unreason is now ascendant in the U.S. – in our schools, in our courts

Step 03

And in each branch of the federal government. Only one fourth of our population believes in evolution; three fourths believe in angels. Ignorance of this magnitude, driven by christofascists, is now a problem for the entire world.
