It's amazing that religious people think they have a monopoly on all things that are virtuous and no one else is capable. I've met some major assholes who are a big part of their churches, and I've met some amazingly kind and giving people that want nothing to do with religion. I judge people on how they treat others, animals, and themselves, and not what their religious beliefs are.

Great one.

I'm curious, were You at church?

I would have said, well that's only one of us.

Great job buddy

I hope he listened to you!

Christianity is a sick religion. God creates us ill and command us to be well. He creates us sinful and demands we be virtuous. He creates us to hate ourselves and demands we work to achieve is love. He creates us rational beings and demands we suspend our reason to believe in the absurd.

You can never be happy or love unless you love yourself. Xianity prevents this from ever happening.

I love this post...... I remember this one time this pastor try to convince me god was real by asking me what holds the earth moon and sun in its position in space I told him idk cause I don't have the time to explain general relativity to anybody so he did his god did it thing while I gave him a blank stare then I left thinking he is so lost but funny thing is he probably think the same shit about me lol

"That's nice" is usually my reply.

my long winded reply is something along these lines,

"No that is alright, I have learned to love myself and all my flaws. I have learned to acknowledge and love the flaws of others. I put my love and energy onto improving myself and others, should they request it. Because I believe that we only have meaning to those in our lives and anyone, everyone else can fuck off."

Or something to that effect, the flavor and sauciness of the presentation depends on my mood at the time.

Perfect. What else can be said ?

My response would be:
" Patronizing, arrogant , condescending "
" If that is what your has done to you ... I thank I'm an Atheist "

I am also a skeptic regarding God, how & why so many of my friends have faith & believe so hard.
My belief is I am a human, and God doesn't make my choices. I think that's the difference: humanity is self fulfilling, not forced or lead to make a decision.
I think the book called "bible", was written many centuries ago by a culture of men (dominant), and used it (still) to control societies. And the jesus thing is to add more control (man again).
Very conflicting. I go back.& forth about my thoughts & feelings. Perhaps I'll find out like everyone else- while dying & death.

I'm sorry you do not know the magic unicorn that lives in my garden

Wow that’s a very nice response

Well written. May I borrow it?

I see you're in Merrillville. I hope you make it over to Chicago whenever you can to find more like-minded people!

And God said, “there is only one true God. I’m not gonna tell you which one it is but why do you kill each other over trying to figure it out.“?

A meme on FB has a saying something like ‘There’s only one true but I’m not going to tell you which one it is rather than let you kill each other trying to figure it out’!

Love it, well done!

This is amazing! Thank you!

I REALLY love this. Nicely done.

Christian love.
