 We ignostics find God to be inchoherent,void of meaning, made of a series of guesses for a mystery posing as an explanation.God"hides our ignorance behind a theological fig leaf," and to further quote atheologian Keith Parsons:" Occult power wielded by a transcendent power in an inscrutable way for unfathomable purposes does not seem to be any sort of a good explanation." God is the unimformative tautology that God wills what He wills. God did it is just the magic of let there be.How can a disembodied being be other than inchorent? Now to allow meaning for the sake of argument, Ockham's razor notes that God requires ad hoc explanations whereas causalism- natural causes- has explained assumptions. Thus we find natural causes for mental maladies rather than demons and natural selection instead of a divine creator.God is no more useful than gremlins or Thor.

Fr. Griggs rests in his Socratic ignorance and humble naturalism. Logic is the bane of theists.Religion is mythinformation. Reason saves, not a dead Galilean fanatic. |
