I died laughing, twice.
]]>Honestly, I never thought the “who designed the designer?” argument was compelling. I still don’t see its great charm. Special pleading worked ok for me.
I am not sure it a “compelling” argument in the normal sense, any more than the argument from design is compelling. All the question does is highlight the nonsense inherent in saying [whatever] is so wonderful and amazing it must have been designed by someone/something — but the someone/thing which designed it did not need to have been designed.
I have a massive dislike of special pleading, but that may just be me…
If that website is real, it is scary! 🙂
]]>The key questions that got me were:
What does god get out of it? Why go through all of creation (why create something), particularly if the goal (for humans) is to become enlightened and reunite with god. What purpose would the process itself serve?
Is there evidence of survival after death? The existence of a soul would be evidence of god, to me. Moreover, my religion taught reincarnation. Without karma and reincarnation, suffering becomes an insoluble problem.
I’m sorry to say I don’t think that site is a joke at all, BTW.
