Unnecessary Being Video (MV)

God is nothing more than a simple human desire
To be more powerful than we really are
But its not real
Faith is the claim to know things we don't know
But the truth is not pretend; reality will win
There is no god at the edge of our comprehension
The God of the Gaps is only a lapse
Retreating from the limits of our current rendition

We understand the workings of the Universe
We've got the upper hand: facts over holy verse
We learn about the world empirically
Not through tiresome demagoguery
We quest that we may understand
The proof is all around us

There have always been floods
...(Exodus 15:8)
Washing the hands kills germs, not ministries
...(Matthew 7:2,15:20, Mark 7:5, Luke 11:38)
There is no life in the blood
...(Leviticus 17:11, Deuteronomy 12:23, John 6:53)
It is simple biochemistry

Comets are made of ice
...(Jeremiah 10:2, Acts 2:19, Genesis 1:14)
Mental illness is not a demon
...(Matthew 8:28, Mark 5:16, Luke 8:36, John 10:21)
Rainbows are mere refractions of light
...(Genesis 9:13)
And orbits control the seasons
...(Daniel 2:21, Acts 17:26)

God is an unnecessary being
Faith is believing without thinking

There are not four pillars holding up the world
...(1 Samuel 2:8)
Stars are light years away and cannot fall from the sky
...(Matthew 24:29)
Earthquakes result from plate tectonics
...(Psalms 99:1, Jeremiah 49:21, 2 Samuel 22:8, etc)
And plagues; virology
...(Numbers 16:47, Zechariah 14:12, etc)
They cannot be cured with the blood of a bird
...(Leviticus 14:51)
Oh please let this mythology die

Religion yields no testable predictions

God is not real
God is not great
There is nothing loving or merciful
In inventing Hell or everlasting hate
...(Matthew 18:9, 25:41)
The very idea of a god is flawed
Given what is real
God is not real - god is not great

God is an unnecessary being
We will make it on our own
Faith is believing without thinking
By learning we will grow
God is an unnecessary being
