Alright, this is sort of in response to Podo's (monster's) "feeble attempt" thread.
I'm an atheist. I don't believe in the existence of any god whatsoever. Any questions?

I wasn't blaming Christianity for that. I know that the majority (or seeming majority) of Christians don't practice Christianity as it is meant to be practiced (regardless of the presence of a god). Organized religion and it's hypocrisy is one of the major reasons I started to doubt the Christian god. I would have been perfectly brainwashed if:
A. Church wasn't so damn boring. B. People practiced what they preached. C. There was more evidence (I know you can't prove/disprove yada yada, I'm just very logic oriented) D. Interpretations of the Bible that shunned members of society that did nothing wrong (see: Gays) did not come to light and become so prevalent. |

I completely understand. I would never force my beliefs upon someone. I don't know, the only reason I said what I said was: I feel that this has turned into a "bad Christian people" argument. Sometimes, I think that people out side of our religion look down on our religion and not us when they should be doing the opposite. In some ways, I hate Christians just as much as you do. It's depressing to see people brainwashed. Hopefully I'm not as hypocritical as the rest. |
