Christianity\u2019s growth tracks closely with colonization. Missionaries didn\u2019t arrive alone- they arrived alongside armies and administrators.

Religion is human nature, and because of that fact, the first assumption regarding every religion should be that it was created by humans for whatever reason.

Because that’s what it really is. Their beliefs are not a product of an internalized study of scripture or a reasoned examination of history, science, or other; rather it’s the product of the conviction that they are special, correct, and specially chosen by the creator of the universe, and you are not. <\/span><\/h2>\n

In the US, it’s becoming faster to just say “Christian” instead of “homophobic, transphobic, anti-choice, gun nut, pro-death penalty, doesn’t believe in climate change or evolution, loathes immigrants, doesn’t support universal healthcare…”<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Religion is just a copium. That’s all religion is. A copium that you and the people you love will be happy eternally and that there’s a plan for everything. A copium that the people you don’t like and disagree with will burn and suffer at the same time and that bad things must happen for a reason.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

It sucks to know that bad things often go unpunished and nothing happens after you die. It’s scary. But deal with it and find a better way to cope<\/em>.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Atheist: God sends you to hell.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Christian (definition):\u00a0 a person who embraces wildly improbable beliefs that are powerfully held despite incontrovertible counter-evidence<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Anybody following a religion that expresses a plan to torture people eternally after they die is a monster.<\/span><\/h2>\n

The idea that an omnipotent god had to have his son executed so that he could forgive sins is probably the stupidest idea ever dreamed up by human beings.<\/span><\/h2>\n

God is forcing us to pass a test without giving us enough information to identify the correct answer. Many will flunk just because they understandably follow their familial faith without giving much thought to the alternatives.\u00a0The teacher is absent for th<\/b>e most important<\/b>\u00a0test humans will ever take<\/b>. Or, just maybe, the teacher and the test do not really\u00a0<\/a>exist.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Christians have a habit of disregarding proven scientific facts to maintain their ignorance.<\/span><\/h2>\n

When all of humanity treats earth like a waiting room for a heaven that doesn’t exist, then they don’t spend time making this world into the heaven it could be.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

The only reason you feel like there is a god is because someone told you there was a god. Religion is man-made, man-maintained and man-spread.<\/span><\/h2>\n

In Genesis, after Satan takes the disguise of a snake and tempts Eve to eat the apple, God punishes all snakes to crawl on their bellies and eat dust. This would be like putting Elvis in prison after a bank robber wears an Elvis mask during a heist.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Christianity is held together with a patch- the concept of Jesus returning to complete the requirements of a messiah, because he didn\u2019t quite manage to get it done the first time. By any objective calculation, Jesus\u2019 return is 1950 years overdue and we\u2019re still counting.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Julia Sweeney: “If you read the gospels in the order they were written, and you’ve worked as a screenwriter, it’s impossible not to read them as successive drafts of a screenplay, written under the thumb of a studio executive who wants more pizzazz with every draft.”<\/span><\/h2>\n

How can you not hate someone who thinks you will be tortured for eternity and who worships a god who they believe will do that to you? How is that different from a Jew in a German prison camp feeling about Germans who supported Hitler?<\/span><\/h2>\n

A supposedly good god, instead of just forgiving people, is bloodthirsty and is happier torturing a supposedly innocent individual (Jesus) and only then being willing to forgive people. Aside from being cruel, it also is unjust, as punishing someone who is innocent is monstrous. Yet that is what this supposedly good and just god allegedly did, according to the Bible.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

The very first thing that it is claimed Noah did upon arriving on dry ground was to slaughter an animal and offer it as a burnt sacrifice to God. Considering his lack of animals to start with, this may well have wiped out a species.\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

You and your wife were in a car wreck and both die. You go to heaven and your wife to hell. Christians will claim that you can still be happy in heaven because memory of your wife will be erased. This as if your wife is being tortured in the basement while you are at a party upstairs and you were given a drug by the party host that made you forget her.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Hell is a place of infinite punishment for finite crimes. There is no condition under which this could be acceptable.<\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Believing in the Rapture means you get to skip the discomfort of dying and get whisked straight to heaven instead.
