Level 8

Inconsistencies in thier buybull. The absolute hypocrisy of christians.

Level 9

Faith does not work, prayer does not work, faith requires acceptance of the unacceptable and continual acts of self delusion.
The final straw was that other peoples faiths in other gods, spirits, deities and angels were just as strong and just as ineffective as my own, therefore if they were all wrong, I was probably wrong too.

Level 8

The blood-thirsty cruelty, racism, misogyny, homophobia, and treachery of the Hebrew god, obviously derived from the Sumerian text descriptions of their cruel alien leader, "Anu."

The contradictions and a few other things that are in the bible ended that for me. I then read a few other religious things and couldn't accept them. Lastly, that a god won't show it self.

The complete and utter lack of evidence.

I never had any faith in any god(s) as none of the stories I was told made sense.

The fact that he only provides miracles for upper-middle-class white Americans.

No one should have faith in anything. All faith is simply erroneous thinking. Faith, therefore, is evil.

Erroneous does not equate to evil.

@x0lineage0x, I said "therefore". They are not the same thing, but both are true.

@ldheinz Two invalid arguments with an invalid conclusion.. you are just wrong sir.

@x0lineage0x, you stated a conclusion but left off your reasoning.

I define faith as belief without proof, and it is wrong to believe things that can't be proven. ANYTHING can be believed if you don't require proof.

I define evil as that which impedes life, and acting on falsehoods as if they were truths impedes one's life.

Therefore both are true. All faith is evil.

Please give your reasoning, not just your conclusion.

@ldheinz I made no argument nor conclusion.

@x0lineage0x, so you were talking without saying anything? No thinking at all?
