Sky God Does Not Exist

*To be filed under religion*

The Christian / Muslim / Jewish sky god does not exist. Let us examine some evidence. 

COX’S BAZAR, Bangladesh , 2017— 

Hundreds of women stood in the river, held at gunpoint, ordered not to move.

A pack of soldiers stepped toward a petite young woman with light brown eyes and delicate cheekbones. Her name was Rajuma, and she was standing chest-high in the water, clutching her baby son, while her village in Myanmar burned down behind her.

“You,” the soldiers said, pointing at her.

She froze.

“You!”

She squeezed her baby tighter.

In the next violent blur of moments, the soldiers clubbed Rajuma in the face, tore her screaming child out of her arms and hurled him into a fire. 

She was then dragged into a house and gang-raped.

Where was your god?

SREBRENICA, Bosnia , 1995— 

“I was not even able to touch the floor, the concrete floor of the warehouse…. After the shooting, I felt a strange kind of heat, warmth, which was coming from the blood that covered the concrete floor and I was stepping on the dead people who were lying around. But there were even men (just men) who were still alive, who were only wounded and as soon as I would step on him, I would hear him cry, moan, because I was trying to move as fast as I could. I could tell that people had been completely disembodied and I could feel bones of the people that had been hit by those bursts of bullets or shells, I could feel their ribs crushing. Then I would get up again and continue….”

Rwanda , 1994— 

“If you were alive, you were automatically a target,” she said. “We were running like terrified animals. People were falling and stepping on one another. Bullets and bombs were flying and exploding all around us. People kept falling dead and whoever didn’t get hit would just keep moving forward. There was no time to mourn.”

“My neighbor, knowing that there was no escape, took his family outside. Handing each one a rosary, they held hands. The rebels turned on them. One by one they chopped off each family member’s head and then their limbs. The family died holding each other while praying. In only a few moments all that was left were lifeless, dismembered bodies. I looked around and saw the street filled with stiff corpses. The stench was unbearable. My tiny body trembled wondering, ‘Where was God?’”

The numbers are devastating and hard to imagine. Twenty percent of the entire population of Rwanda was lost in a matter of 12 weeks. That would be the equivalent of 70 million Americans slaughtered in just three months. Hundreds of thousands more would die of disease, and even more from Rwandan backlash.

In what seems like an impossible accomplishment, the killing rate in Rwanda would represent a rate five times higher than during the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. The ferocity of the genocide knew no limits. Hutu men were ordered to rape, maim and butcher their Tutsi neighbors. In one of the most horrendous acts of brutality, HIV-infected men were released from hospitals with orders to rape as many Tutsi women and girls as possible. They were known as “rape squads.” The purpose was to cause a long, agonizing death. Tutsi women were also victims of tortuous sexual mutilation designed not just to inflict pain, but destroy any reproductive ability. It was just one tool of the ironically named “final solution,” to destroy the “cockroach” Tutsis.

Nazi-Occupied Ukraine , 1941— 

Once undressed, they were led into the ravine which was about 150 metres long and 30 metres wide and a good 15 metres deep … When they reached the bottom of the ravine they were seized by members of the Schutzpolizei and made to lie down on top of Jews who had already been shot … The corpses were literally in layers. A police marksman came along and shot each Jew in the neck with a submachine gun … I saw these marksmen stand on layers of corpses and shoot one after the other … The marksman would walk across the bodies of the executed Jews to the next Jew, who had meanwhile lain down, and shoot him.

In the evening, the Germans undermined the wall of the ravine and buried the people under the thick layers of earth.[22] According to the Einsatzgruppe’s Operational Situation Report, 33,771 Jews from Kyiv and its suburbs were systematically shot dead by machine-gun fire at Babi Yar on 29 September and 30 September 1941.[27] The money, valuables, underwear, and clothing of the murdered were turned over to the local ethnic Germans and to the Nazi administration of the city.[28] Wounded victims were buried alive in the ravine along with the rest of the bodies.

The commander of the Einsatzkommando reported two days later:

“The difficulties resulting from such a large scale action—in particular concerning the seizure—were overcome in Kiev by requesting the Jewish population through wall posters to move. Although only a participation of approximately 5,000 to 6,000 Jews had been expected at first, more than 30,000 Jews arrived who, until the very moment of their execution, still believed in their resettlement, thanks to an extremely clever organization.”

Eitan Belkind was a Nili member who infiltrated the Ottoman army as an official. He was assigned to the headquarters of Kemal Pasha. He witnessed the burning of 5,000 Armenians.

Lt. Hasan Maruf of the Ottoman army describes how a population of a village were taken all together and then burned. The Commander of the Third Army Vehib’s 12-page affidavit, which was dated 5 December 1918, was presented in the Trebizond (Trabzon) trial series (29 March 1919) included in the Key Indictment, reporting such a mass burning of the population of an entire village near Muş: “The shortest method for disposing of the women and children concentrated in the various camps was to burn them”. Further, it was reported that “Turkish prisoners who had apparently witnessed some of these scenes were horrified and maddened at remembering the sight. They told the Russians that the stench of the burning human flesh permeated the air for many days after”.Genocide scholar Vahakn Dadrian wrote that 80,000 Armenians in 90 villages across the Muş plain were burned in “stables and haylofts”.
