Spiegelman said, "I think it's possible for an adult to say, 'I don't want my kid reading that book in class.' But to forbid the other kids from reading it or taking it out of the library? That's not liberty; that's suppression and authoritarianism."

BOOK REVIEW: When Harry Met Minnie by Martha Teichner (ARC)

BOOK REVIEW: When Harry Met Minnie by Martha Teichner (ARC)

I still have about 100 pages to read in this book, and yet I feel the need to tell you about it. Of course, I won’t publish the review until I have finished. You’ll find several reviews of this book as advanced copies were sent out several weeks ago. Unfortunately, I’m slow to read at the moment. That said, I’d like to take a more personal perspective on the book – as I’m not a regular or…

Neil deGrasse Tyson is a self-described agnostic, so he doesn’t matter in this discussion. Neither do the rest of the scientists at the conference. Holding a conference to discuss something isn’t to admit of belief in it. Are you this dense? Full fedora because your Hebrew doesn’t make stoning children sound better? You are predisposed. That’s why you studied Hebrew. I don’t see any value in learning a language that isn’t widely spoken for sake of making a barbaric book seem better

And yes, your god can’t be omniscient because there are plenty of solutions better than stoning a disobedient child. Even beating them is empirically proven to do lasting damage in their brains. It causes trauma, for one. I also know there are solutions better than keeping virgins as spoils of war and making a woman marry her rapist. I also know there’s a better solution than human sacrifice. It’s unfortunate that you don’t realize Christianity purports to solve a problem of its own making: sin

The old “god is omniscient” copout doesn’t help show that he’s immoral and unjust. Telling Israel to murder other tribes down to their babies isn’t prettied up by taking a Hebrew class. Reading it in any other language doesn’t change how absolutely disgusting it all is. Has it ever occurred to you that an omniscient being would have never gone about things in that way? Has it occurred to you that you are no defender of truth but a defender of the one of the greatest lies ever told?

He describes himself as an agnostic for purely semantic reasons. He doesn’t believe in God. He just thinks that the term “atheist” should be reserved for those who can say with certainty that there is no God. 

Martha Teichner: Do you believe in God? 

NDT: The more I look at the universe, the less convinced I am.

You’re right that just because there is a conference on it, that doesn’t mean that everyone there believes it… however, the Scientific American wrote an article on their own conference and described just how raucous and lively it was because it was pretty split with as may people affirming as there were denying the simulation hypothesis. 

You think I studied Hebrew just to “make a barbaric book seem better?”…. lmao. I studied Hebrew because I value knowledge and I have the integrity to actually observe the text on it’s own terms. I studied Hebrew so that I could access the Word of God in the language in which it was written. You’re the only person in this discussion that views access to information in the purely pragmatic category of trying to refute other people. You’re also doing this thing that I’ve noticed atheists love to do where you try to impute motivations to me… which is inherently non-scientific because in reality you have no idea why I chose to study Hebrew, and you have no way of ever knowing why, unless I tell you… which I just did.

Now, you said “your god is too stupid”… well, my God is omniscient. So it’s not a cop out to point that out. You can say God’s not omniscient if you want… but you don’t even believe that he exists, so at that point you’re arguing against a trait held by a being you don’t even believe in. When you say that my God is stupid… you’ve made the issue about what I believe, i.e. you’ve made it an issue about Christian ontology on it’s own terms. And yet you still caricature it.

Also, it’s unfortunate that you think that you can wield words like “immoral” and “unjust” without defining where those concepts come from. You think that you have some objective and irrefutable moral insight and are trying to weigh God against that. You think that you are more righteous and holy than God. Who are you to put God on the witness stand? He is not subject to your moral inquiry. He doesn’t answer to you. 

You ask “Has it ever occurred to you that an omniscient being would have never gone about things in that way?“ but I ask you, has it never occurred to you that an omniscient being is under no obligation to do things how you expect them to be done. Has it ever occurred to you that your paltry mind is incapable of comprehending the mind of a being who is eternal and knows everything there is to know because he created and sustains reality itself? What hubris you must have to think that you… can stand in judgment over God.

“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, ‘Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?…  Will the fault finder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God answer it. Then Job answered the Lord and said, ‘Behold, I am insignificant; what can I reply to You? I lay my hand on my mouth.’” -Job 38:1-2 & 40:2-4
