The Anti-Gospel of Jesus Christ

by Miko Bartek

It is impossible to prove that God exists because there is no evidence for the existence of God. But it is also impossible to prove that God does not exist. Whether God exists is an open question. Therefore, we cannot know anything about the true God if we cannot first show that God truly is.

Belief in God is not the same as knowledge of God. People believe in God. But believers do not possess knowledge of God. Belief is nothing more than an opinion. Whereas, knowledge can be defined as justified true belief.¹ In order for a belief to qualify as knowledge it has to satisfy the definition. First, the belief has to be true. And then, the belief needs to be justified. There should be a logical explanation of how we know that the belief is true. Without satisfying these conditions, we do not possess actual knowledge.

Christianity rests upon faith. Faith is to believe without evidence or proof. This is the opposite of knowledge. Knowledge depends on evidence. Faith does not. Knowledge must be true in order to be knowledge. Faith does not have to be true in order to be faith.

Jesus is believed to be God by many. But no one knows that Jesus is God, because there is no way to demonstrate this to be true. Logically, you would first have to show that God exists, before also showing that Jesus is God. No one can do this. Which is why Christianity depends on faith, and not knowledge.

Jesus is not God. He is merely a god. Your god did not create you. You create your own god. We do not know if God is real. But we absolutely do know that your god is real. Your god exists within your mind and your heart. But your god is not God.
