Former President Bush's New Interview With Matt Lauer (with an atheistic rant thrown in for good measure).



<rant>
It seems odd seeing Bush do an interview now after being in the dark for a good while. I'm glad to see he is still the same awkward, goofy guy that we all remember him for. I don't think it was his 'quick tongue' which caused him to be stupid, it was his slow brain.

What caught my attention (my atheist senses were tingling by this point) was when Matt Lauer said something to the effect of: 'you can't prove God, but you also can't disprove God, so evidence is not a factor'. The first thought that came to my mind (and I'm sure many other atheists) was: "what a ridiculously stupid and empty point". By the very fact that god can not be proven to exist proves that humans have no reason to know or be aware of his existence. If a god does exist, his all-invisibleness hasn't left a trace of evidence that humans are able pick up on (real, tangible, scientific evidence--not some schizophrenic nut that 'hears voices').

Let's say this God guy was to come down to earth in the form of a bullfrog. Christians wouldn't believe that the frog was their god. Christians claim to believe in the existence of a being which they know nothing about—they are able to list off what this guy has done—but are unable to list off anything about the being itself other than He is all-powerful in every imaginable way. Atheists and Christians both believe in nothing when it comes to God. When an atheist sees a void in understanding, they call it ignorance, when a Christian sees it, they call it "God". As an atheist, knowing people like Bush were in office (having the nuclear codes), made me, and probably many others very uncomfortable.
