The Fish vs The Atheists

Post by Sonny »

This little fish comes swimming up to the other fish and he says, "I have found the most wonderful thing!"
The other fish say,"Oh what is it?"
"I realized our Father is The Ocean. The Ocean is God. It is the Ocean that cares for us, feeds us, protects us, loves us."
"Where is this Ocean?" they asked.
"The Ocean is everywhere it is all around us even we are part of the Ocean."
Then the fish ask, "But where is your proof of this 'Ocean' that you claim is our God?"
The little fish says, "no you don't understand we are all in the Ocean it is our existence. Without the Ocean none of us would exist!"
The other fish start to murmur, "this little fish is nuts, i don't see any Ocean all i see is water.",
"yeah me too, he must be crazy he thinks there is some God here." "you better shut up little fish your stupid.
if you keep talking like that we are going to nail you to some coral."
The little fish says, "Guys... what I am explaining is easy to understand and in it is the keys to a wise and happy life.
When we all see the Father we will all live as one and be loving towards each other as our Father is to us."
they then say,"As he is to us?! Look at Charlie! he lost his whole family to the tuna company! And Sally only has one fin now! How does your God love us?"
The little fish says,"You misunderstand, our Father grants us all life equally, we still have to fend for ourselves."
"That's enough out of you.", the other fish say.
"If we still have to take care of ourselves then what is the point?"
The little fish says,"But the Ocean is God do you not understand? He is everywhere. He is everything. Even I and the Father are One.
Even You are all One with the Father. By worshipping the Ocean we are loving our creator."
"That's it, Blasphemy!", they cry.
"You claim to be God. You say that we are God. You say The Ocean is God yet where is your proof of this Ocean?
All we in the 'real world' see... is water and coral and fish...."
"but... don't you get it? we are all alive because of The Ocean! It is wrong to not recognize the gift of life it has given us.
If we love and respect It It will love and respect us. we all can have..."
While he was speaking they took the little fish and nailed him to some coral until he died.
He was not resurrected.

The End.

Yeah, you're playing with the definition of god. If your definition of god is the universe, then sure, god exists. However I do not see why we could not just use the word "universe" then. However, that definition does not fit to the god of the bible or any other religion out there.
