@THEEVANTHETOON "We're all bad people."

This is one of the biggest reasons Christianity absolutely must be eradicated for humanity to move forward. Only the mentally ill, insane, schizophrenic brainwashed could ever believe ALL people are "bad" people.

Think about it. They tell their children this- that they are sub-beings. Lesser beings. That there is a magical Ultimate King of Humans floating in the sky- some less literal but still the same idea.

This nonsense absolutely must go.

Every time Christopher destroys an argument, the world is a much better place.

Thumbs up if you agree

Well done Christopher ,and fuck all them stupid delusion Christians

The Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, Islam) are essentially the same : schizophrenic.

We bring love and peace ... by telling you everyone else is an enemy to be avoided, hated and even killed when ordered.

We bring hope ... by telling you the world is hopeless and doomed.

We bring truth ... by telling you the most twisted lies you've ever heard.

We bring knowledge ... by telling you 'God' is the answer to every question you shouldn't ask.

If i had been asked that question, I might say that I spend my time trying to convince people there is no god, or that man's reasoning for god isn't reasonable because the belief in god leads to self-indulgence in ignorance, violence, hatred, homophobia, sexism, unjust condemnation of others, war, brain washing, and poor decision making. I think the reason why he tries his hand like so is a very clear one.

As described here. His was a life well spent.

[SuperQweertyuiop]

He sounds like he's delivering a sermon. Wow, I heard Americans don't understand irony, but this is something else.

Indeed sir, and it doesn't even stop there. What about the LRA (Lords Resistance Army) that kidnaps and employs children as an armed force. What about the cover up of child rape done by the catholic church and covered up by them too who are more worried about the image of the catholic church than they are about the victims.

There is a lot to be said but the very best thing to do, in my opinion, is to openly oppose religion..we're better than this.

@DrDopehat True, Hitler makes mention of god in

Mein Kampf and was steeped in religion and mysticism, hardly an atheist. The religious are constantly using this old red herring argument to divert attention away from the fact that hundreds of millions have died or live in abject misery due to "gods servants" and their actions (see crusades, the spreading of hiv due to catholic teaching condoms are evil, banning of stem cell research etc etc etc. The time is now to cast off ancient superstition!

@THEEVANTHETOON Yes, the men who wrote the bible and had access to the old testament had no trouble writing a fiction that is supported by a previous fiction. Anyone can read a "prophesy" that was made 3000 years ago, then write a story about someone who fulfilled that prophesy 2000 years ago. These isn't a single shred of credible evidence supporting anything jesus was supposed to have done and many historical documents directly contradict events the bible claim took place.Take the blinders off

@THEEVANTHETOON Any book that claims the world is 6-10 thousand years old and that 2 of each of the millions of species of animals were placed on an ark that wouldn't have held a thousand is as anti-science as you can get. God gives orders for the murder of babies (Deut. 3) Allows the selling of your daughter as a sex slave (Exodus 21:1-11) as well as instructions on how to beat slaves ( Ex.21:20-21 Ex.21:26-27) This isn't the perfect word of the creator, its a hateful manifesto full of murder!
