I made this proof up a while ago, it’s very stupid but I like it. It’s a reductio on Christianity:
Premises:
- God is alive (For what mortal man has ever heard the voice of the living God speaking out of fire, as we have, and survived? — Deut 5:26)
- God obeys his own laws (One and the same law applies to everyone — Num 15:29)
- God mandates the death penalty for adultery (If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death — Lev 20:10)
- God had sex with Mary (Do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit — Matt 1:20)
- Mary was married to another man at the time (Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary — Matt 1:16)
(I think you can see where this is going but let’s finish it off)
Argument:
- God committed adultery (P4, P5)
- God mandates execution for himself (1, P3)
- God is dead (2, P2)
So we end with the negation of P1. Done. Now that wasn’t so hard, was it?
(The citation for P2 is a bit out of context but no more than most biblical arguments).

Simple, yet effective.
[...] I did a short silly disproof of Christianity a while ago. Time for another one. This one’s a bit more sinister: it proves Jesus deserved to die. Hat tip to this “amazing” video. It’s a real quick one. [...]
You didn’t disprove anything.
1) God didn’t have sex with mary he annointed mary with Jesus as a child without having sex. hence “virgin mary”
2) mathew 1:16 is saying that joseph is the husband of mary.
Well since you’re taking this a little literally, I’ll continue in the same manner: what makes you draw the distinction between having sex with Mary and “annointing” her with Jesus?
And of course the fact that Joseph was Mary’s husband only plays into my [now deadly serious] argument — without Joseph there’s no adultery and God would still be alive.
This may be the funniest attempt to disprove Christianity I have ever seen. Thank you for the laugh.
Loved this post! Although you don’t even need to go that far with it. The Bible contradicts itself right off the bat in the book of Genesis, first it says both Adam and Eve were created at the same time, then in the very next chapter it says that first Adam was made and he became lonely so he went to God and God created Eve from Adam’s rib. Besides that, I feel utterly embarrassed for any moron(especially an adult) who actually believes that the Earth was created in 6 days or that 2 of every single one of the 10 billion species on Earth were lead onto an arc and then dispersed to their permanent homes by one man after a flood wiped out the entire world.
wow… i am impressed, jared! i too believe in the same contradictions that christians are too ignorant to even see.
This is completely ridiculous.
First off to use Numbers 15 in order to say that God has to follow his own laws is absurd, it is clearly talking about not discriminating against foreigners who wish to become part of Hebrew society. The Hebrew laws were there to help people become right with God, God is not a sinner and does not need to be reconciled to himself.
Then you said. “Well since you’re taking this a little literally, I’ll continue in the same manner: what makes you draw the distinction between having sex with Mary and “annointing” her with Jesus?”
- Because God did not use a penis to make Mary pregnant, there was no romantic music there was no sexual attraction.
I would challenge you to find any dictionary definition that cited adultery as anything other than one person being intimate with another persons partner. If a couple could not have children and got pregnant using a donor no one would call that adultery.
I’m not saying there aren’t genuinely challenging arguments out there, I’m just saying neither of yours are among them
First of all you really didnt disprove anything you moron! In addition to all the truth that James Rayment stated. If chrisitainty is not real how do you argue with peoples personal testimonial experiences or even historyand geography for that matter. try telling people who have been healed while in prater from parlization christianity is not real!
