Here's what I'd like to ask xtians sometimes, "Is your god doing a good job?

When you look around the world at what you call
"his chlidren" and what they have done and are doing, do you say, "Wow, good job, god, look how awesome we are!" How would you rate his work?

There's something else that bugs me... when you ask a question about their religious book and they say, "I don't know." Why would you believe in an, "I don't know?" What part of that makes you feel confident that you're on the right path.

As an atheist all my life, I've never understood about following blindly.

Faith is not a virtue.

Yes, and which translation of that book would you be asking questions about? is there one that comes with a god housekeeping seal? And the answer is still the same they don't know. 🤪

Xians take blind faith as a virtue. People are supposed to follow their church leaders without asking questions, or being too intellectual. They are only supposed to listen and obey in blind faith. I was brainwashed as a child to trust blind faith, regardless of science and knowledge. It took me until my late 20's to discover that blind faith is not to be trusted, and I started putting my trust in facts and evidence. I am very happy to be free from the scam of religion! 😀

I'm happy you are as well.

They would, in all seriousness, say all the bad was because of the failure of humans and all the good from God. All the charity, God did it. All the abuse, excess, etc... well that's Satan's work.

Funny how god is not is powerful enough to defeat Satan.

@Leelu even as a young child, I posed the same question to the nuns. I loved their passion for what they believed, but their answers to such questions only raised more skepticism.

I guess you could say the nuns created nones....🥴

why ask those that the Bible itself deems "deceived?"
test everything, and keep what is good

My sister's (apparently) favorite answer to my questions that question her faith is "I try not to think about that".

I honestly don't understand people who blindly believe in something.

McCarthyism breeds fear against Atheism and loyalty to IN gawd WE TRUST loyal prEying to the flag since 1955 ONE NATION UNDER gawd ....most people are loyal a a primary parent religious claims .... to choose Atheism is calling mom a LIAR

well they can call themselves "Christians" if they like, but that doesnt mean that they are accepted eh. Nothing against your sis ok, but "i try not to think about that" = "spiritually dead" in the Bible, test everything...

@bbyrd009 I absolutely agree with you.

Christians follow blindly because they want to make it to the afterlife.

ha that the Bible very plainly states, several diff ways, does not really exist,
No one has ever gone up to heaven... etc

Well I would say some are already doing a good job don’t ya think? LOL.

Many of ‘em are still having big gatherings, goin to Sunday Mass Brainwashings in large groups, etc, and generally cry about being “oppressed”.

Bunch of Crumbskulls.

Yep, and the 'Tithe Collectors," aka Priests, know full well that NO-ONE can ever come back and complain that there wasn't an After-life anyway.
