Wade, Wade, why are you persecuting me?

 


An atheist take on God supposedly speaking to people. Personally, I don´t rule out anything (I mean, there are mystics and ecstatics in all religions, and paranormal stuff does happen), but Dallas Wade nevertheless makes some good arguments here. 

Perhaps God talks in stupid ways to stupid people? Skillful means and all that. Or maybe God permits "the other guy" to talk to stupid people? I mean, why would Jehovah give a damn about some pastor wanting to buy a turkey for Thanksgiving...

In the Bible, the messages von oben tended to be about more important stuff. Such as declaring all Thanksgiving turkeys ritually clean. Or appointing apostles to the Gentiles, that kind of thing.
