Jeez Op,
Why are you hating on God and Jesus so much?
Such ferver!
What traumatizing event did you experience as a child that has left you despising a subject you seem to be so consumed with?
Seems extremely ironic.
Your response is nothing more than intellectual cowardice. OP feels much as I do -- Christianity is an influence that must be countered. It, along
with other dogmatic, fear-based religions and belief systems, is responsible for so much ignorance the internet could not hold all of the history it
has produced, in every life it has touched. It is a non-thinkers paradise and some of us just want to help wake up the sleeping masses. It's actually
working, slowly but surely, people are questioning Christianity to the point that it is losing its following. Hopefully the same will happen with
Islam, but that is going to be even harder. We all know the story there.
The fact is, Christianity is a perversion of love. "God so love the world that he gave his only begotten son to die for us." Think about that-- a
father sacrifices his ONLY son for a collection of murderers, theives, etc. Would YOU do that? Why does it seem that humanity, with all its faults and
propensity for violence, wouldn't condone such actions? Blood sacrifice. Then, if you don't believe in him, he sends you to eternal torment. What a
wonderful, loving god you serve. He DEMANDS worship. That alone should send up a thousand red flags. Do you really want to worship a so-called diety
that demands your love and worship? Especially one that is never around except in the imaginations of his followers. Strong, self-deluding
imaginations.
Besides, history shows that Christianity is nothing more than another amalgamation of other older religions. When will you all wake to this fact and
stop living in denial? You'll live eternally, but without having to worship a sadistic, cruel, ego maniac.
