Anti-God
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

“ Considering God is dead, I wonder if the Anti-God is alive. Or died first. Or hasn't even been born yet. Scheisse. I hate this guy, too. ”
~ Nietzsche on God
“The mere fact that the Anti-God is the opposite of God without being the Devil makes me poo-poo in my pants”
~ Oscar Wilde on Anti-God
“Wait... if god is dead but sent his left-hand man to hell and became the devil, then did anti-god send his right-hand man to heaven to become god?”
~ Confused Citizen
Not to be confused with God, the Anti-God to God is what the Antichrist represents to Jesus. Ascribed by some contemporary New Age religions to be the Anti-Creator, Anti-ruler and/or the sum total of, antiexistence. Conceptions of the Anti-God vary widely, specially during full moon nights.

[edit] Attributes of the Anti-God
- Perfectly capable of not doing anything.
- Is nowhere at once.
- Knows about all the evil and suffering in the world but doesn't really care enough to do anything about it.
- Some concepts of the Anti-God may include anthropomorphic attributes, such as looking exactly like the Invisible Man, only ten times bigger. The concept of the Anti-God is often embedded in definitions of atheism, dadaism and antisemitic conspiracy theories, not to forget his involvement in the Teatime of the Gods which many believe happened before lunchtime.
- Considered by many the God of Theo-Atheism, specially among fanatic McCarthyists.
- The concept of a singular Anti-God is characteristic of anti-monotheism, but there is no universal definition of anti-monotheism - since the big chism of 2043 A.D., anti-monotheism has two main branches: orthodox & BDSM. Oftenly considered by other religions a theistic form of Nihilism, the differences between anti-monotheism and monotheism are the same between the Anti-God and God, and the Antichrist and Jesus.Yup.
- Some espouse an exclusionist view, holding to one sole definition of Anti-God. This is kind of stupid considering the Anti-God being the parallel of God, as it has been stated before. Others hold an inclusionist view, accepting the possibility of more than one definition of God to be true at the same time (this position is highly accepted among liberal theo-atheists).
- The modern intellectual movement Objectivism uses the term god as a rhetorical metaphor for the supreme impotence of human existence. The only attribute needed of an Objectivist anti-god is the lack of an ego, in other words, a complete alienation between Itself and mankind.
[edit] Etymology
The word Anti-God is actually a portmanteau, that borrows the Greek word anti (meaning "anti-") and puts it together with the word God (meaning "the opposite of the Anti-God"). Thus, anti-anti-anti-God = anti-God.
[edit] Capitalization
The development of English orthography was dominated by Christian texts. In old Saxon scrolls, for instance, all the letters of the word "Anti-God" were capitalized but the first one - e.g. aNTI-gOD - as opossed to the normal capitalization of the first letter of the name "God". This trait is easily recognisable in other related words, such as hIM, hIS (gRACE), oUR lORD & sAVIOR, and so on.
[edit] Names of the Anti-God
This is one of the most complicated subjects in anti-Theology, because God has a name, and the Anti-God does have one too, but shouldn't the Anti-God have no name at all, since it represents the opposite of God? It's damn confusing, I must say. In fact, no I mustn't, as I am writing this as an anti-person to confuse myself more. Either way, his name is John.
[edit] History of anti-monotheism
See also Christianity, Communism
Anti-monotheism represents a wide range of beliefs and anti-beliefs. For instance, pagans in general consider themselves anti-monotheists, by the simple fact that they do pledge allegiance to one single deity. Nihilists and Atheists - as well as albinos - call themselves anti-monotheists, which is rather ironic. Eastern religions, especially Communism á la Mao and Nintendo Fever, recognise the Anti-God as the "cosmic bourgeois lazy ass deity". The Anti-God has been depicted in several icons & posters all around Asia since Mickey Mouse milked his first aardvark as an overweight, invisible man laying on a giant couch - called by Indians the supreme hāttānusvārāpājjatārattāmahattārhāmachātta, or "cozy chair".
[edit] Anti-Theology
Anti-Theologians attempt to explicate (and in some cases systematize) beliefs; some express their own experience of the mundane. Anti-Theologians ask questions such as, 'What is the nature of the Anti-God?' 'And what is the anti-nature of the Anti-God?'What does it mean for the Anti-God to be the Anti-God and not God? If people believe in God as a duality or trinity, what is the true meaning of the anti-trinity? Is the Anti-God intranscendent, non-existant, or just plain fake? What is the relationship between the Anti-God and the anti-matter, black holes and all that Stephen Hawking stuff?
Most believers allow for the existence of other, less powerful anti-spiritual beings, and give them names such as anti-angels - not to be confussed with demons - anti-saints - not to be confussed with sinners - and bottles of Coca-Cola.
[edit] Conceptions of the Anti-God
Judaism, Christianity and Islam see the Anti-God as a mere rethorical nonsenic idea, a logic fallacy. However, they do debate on whether hE exists, which makes the whole story very amusing if you keep reading this.
[edit] Accusations of Anti-Semitism
Many claim he is a fake excuse to Anti-Semitism. Considering God the god of Semitism, he is the Anti-God, right? Well his anti-believers admit that, since hE doesn't represent anything, how the hell can hE represent Anti-Semitism, right?
Both sides have been highly controversial for the last 2,001 years.

[edit] The Anti-God in popular culture
In the 1999 movie Sin City the Anti-God is the hidden deity behind the story. He doesn't give a rat ass what people do down there.
In the 2006 movie Mission: Impossible III, the character Benji Dunn (played by Simon Pegg) talks of the Anti-God as some form of world destroying weapon which is in fact a very large and expensive rabbits appendage
Also in the movie Prince of Darkness the aNTI-gOD is what is contained in a vial in a church.
