Why Believers Avoid Knowledge

To paraphrase Ricky Gervais: “Ignorance may be bliss for the ignorant, but it’s a pain in the ass for the rest”. But why are so many Christians hell-bent (ha, ha) on remaining ignorant, and are actively closing their eyes to science and reason? It’s actually quite logical. Here’s the proof:

We know that for Christians

  1. “Ignorance is Bliss”
  2. “Paradise is a place of complete bliss”

So: With

  • Complete Ignorance = Complete Bliss

And:

  • Paradise = Complete Bliss

Follows

  • Paradise = Complete Ignorance

That’s why believers prefer to remain dumb. If they become knowledgeable or employ reason, they blow their chance at paradise. Which is pretty much what Marin Luther wrote in 1569: “Reason is the greatest enemy that faith has”.

Hence if you are a Christian, it is your religious duty to stay dumb.

I just wish they weren’t so successful at being dumb religious.

Why Islam beats Christianity and Judaism

According to this Wahhabi preacher (and assuming the translation is correct), the promise of Islam’s Paradise beats that of Christianity or Judaism hands down – by at least 5’041:1!

“Every Muslim man gets at least two black-eyed virgins in Paradise. Each virgin comes with 70 servant girls. You are permitted [to have sex] with the virgins as well as the servant girls. […] [Your wife enters Paradise] with 70 black-eyed virgins. In Paradise you get your wife and her virgins, each of whom come with 70 servants.”

In cold math this comes down to 2 * 70 (own virgins, servants) + 1 (wifey) + 70 * 70 (wifey’s virgins and servants) = 5’041 sex toys for you. More if you are married to more wives.

Only two questions:

  1. Are the wife’s virgins female? Why? Isn’t Allah supposed to be fair?
  2. More importantly: what’s the surcharge to exchange the virgins for experienced women?

I know I should’t joke about the hateful misogyny preached here, but this was just too silly not to post. To think that people actually believe this. And to be a preacher who preaches his personal wet dream to his flock.

Pathetic.
