00:30It's such misery that is not our fault. It's not right. It's utterly, utterly evil.
00:35Why should I respect a capricious, mean-minded, stupid God who creates a world which is so full of injustice
00:43and pain?
00:45That's what I'd say.
00:46And you think you're going to get in on that?
00:48No, but I wouldn't want to. I wouldn't want to get in on his terms. They're wrong.
00:52Now, if I died and it was Pluto, Hades, and if it was the 12 Greek gods, then I would
00:59have more truck with it.
01:01Because the Greeks were, they didn't pretend not to be human in their appetites and in their capriciousness and in
01:07their unreasonableness.
01:09They didn't present themselves as being all-seeing, all-wise, all-kind, all-beneficent.
01:14Because the god who created this universe, if it was created by a god, is quite clearly a maniac.
01:21Utter maniac. Totally selfish. Totally...
01:24We have to spend our life on our knees thanking him?
01:28What kind of god would do that?
01:29Yes, the world is very splendid, but it also has in it insects,
01:33whose whole life cycle is to burrow into the eyes of children and make them blind.
01:38They eat outwards from the eyes.
01:41Why? Why did you do that to us?
01:43You could easily have made a creation in which that didn't exist.
01:47It is simply not acceptable.
01:50So, you know, atheism is not just about not believing there is a god,
01:56but on the assumption that there is one, what kind of god is he?
02:00It's perfectly apparent that he is monstrous, utterly monstrous,
02:04and deserves no respect whatsoever.
02:05The moment you banish him, your life becomes simpler, purer, cleaner,
02:10more worth living, in my opinion.
02:12That sure is the longest answer to that question that I ever got in this entire series.
