ever notice how we get thread after thread about how bad Christianity is. i wish you atheists would just admit your biggest fear in life is the fact that there may be a god. i know personally that used to be my case when i was an atheist.
That was your dig, whatever. I'm not opposed to religion per se. I just think that Christianity is one of the most ludicrous, viral and pathetic religions out there. And it's a shame too because it's one of the most popular. New folks are being brainwashed and recruited by the thousands as we speak.
I'll tip my hat to you guys though, you do a good job. I forgot about the "fear" card. Oh yes, I'm afraid of a higher being. I think that all humans and everything else in this universe is tied together. Perhaps that in itself is "God". I'm just not confident that there's a dude watching me 24/7 and hoping that I make it into the pearly gates when I die. How can he love me but let me burn in hell for all eternity if I don't ask him into my heart??? If he really loves he, he'd send a blatantly obvious sign and an INSTRUCTION BOOKLET so I don't burn for all eternity.
For what it's worth, when I was a child I asked Christ into my heart. If I'm horribly mistaken and the bible is accurate, are they still going to let me in? Like I said before, I don't have a problem with the majority of the bible but I'm not going to follow it blindly. I think that if there is a God, he's not going to care if I deviate away from his rules if I'm still righteous, good and someone who always tries to do the right thing. If my heart guides me in one direction, he cannot scold me for my actions if he is my creator.
If I were a raging homo and nothing got me harder than imagining another man's hairy asshole in my face, how can he punish me and let me burn in hell??? Christians tell me that homosexuality is a defect... well, how the fuck is that fair? What if a gay person asks Christ into their heart? Will the Lord tell them to fuck off? There are too many holes. I know Christians like to talk about this stuff in Church and on the radio waves, but I think they should let it go. If there is a God, there's no use in following an archaic book that was again, written by MEN (who are tainted), in my humble opinion. *shrug*
