Beautifully written

Dear pastor, believe me, I have felt God's love. No, thank you! I'm so much better off without it.

According to Christianity, the Holy Spirit is the one who leads you to God. So if you haven't felt the love of God, it stands to reason that God the Third (holy spook) wasn't sent to make you aware of it. It also stands that in that case, God the First (Pappy G) didn't send #3 (Holy Casper) so you can have a necrophilia relationship with God, Part Deux (Jesus), and is therefore sending you to hell b/c he wants you there.

Critical Thinking - just another of Satan's evil ploys to steal your soul!!!

I would find it hard to worship a being who demands a higher morale standard then he holds to himself. Even if he did exist.

Your god's an asshole.

If there is a God, a superior being, then for me, to personally accept them, they have to be totally uninvolved with humanity. More like the Eastern religions which are more spiritual interconnectedness. If there is an Abrahanic god, then I don't want anything to do with such an asshole. If he has the power, supposedly does, to cure sick kids, war and all else, then he should or he is simply a dick. Thus, I would hope if there is some greater force, it does not have the power to interfere. Maybe as the Buddhists believe the universe was formed (Big bang) and then developed its way and will one day end (The big crush) and then hit the repeat button.

God loves everyone but he really loves stupid people there are so many of them.

It’s a non-apology, it is an attempt to shame you into drinking his cool-aid.

The attempt of religion to brainwash the masses is basically well-represented in Star Trek by The Borg: "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated".

Word.

"For all the delusions your mind has been forced through fear to accept, you have my deepest sympathies." That's Awesome!

If I feel the love of God, it better be consensual...

They don't realise that is actually a pretty mean thing to say.

What he really meant to tell you is he missed your money in the offering plate! Listen to a song by Johnnie Paycheck called, "The outlaws prayer", this was written about a true story of his adventures into the annals of church, in Fort Worth Texas, it pretty well says it all!

Religion, setting the bar a new lower level of delusion.

I'm sorry he believes in make believe and his whole life is guided by it.

Can I share this as an anonymous author? I love it. If not, I understand.

This post is brilliant , really I have nothing add it. I think of the concept of the Saviour dying for my sins, I ask myself the burning question how that relieve me responsibility

for my own actions

the human species is bright and curious we have great potential so says Carl Sagan

Well written and logical. I recall a Jewish man some years ago interviewed on radio. He was a holocaust survivor. He said that if this is what it meant to be God's chosen people, let him choose another!

Totally and completely agree! Can't say anymore.

Very. Well. Put. Bravo!

This is beautifully written! I agree with you 100000%

I'm so sorry for you. One day you will see the light. You must believe that this too is part of God's divine plan. You're young... You'll understand more when you're older. You need to have faith. God will reveal himself when you're ready to see.

Anyone else sick of condescending holy men's tired cliches?

I'm so sorry for you. One day you'll see reality. You must know that there is no obvious plan. You'll understand more when you're wiser. You need to have knowledge. A better understanding of the universe will be revealed when you're ready to accept demonstrable facts.

I love this, it is the perfect response!!
