Reasons to Reject Christianity

It has its uses, like keeping people in line.

True, I was talking to a Christian guy a few years ago who said that the only reason he didn't rape, steal, murder etc was because he was afraid of Hell.

I said to him "keep on believing!"
 
Some of the basic tenets I find insanely silly.

1) we are all born with sin - aka original sin
2) eternal damnation for the micro-second we're alive as humans
3) no baptism - no entry to heaven
4) thou shall not kill - yet "god" killed untold numbers

But the thing that truly grinds my gears is just the man-made organization of it all.
It's a business. A marketing game. It's all about numbers.

When religion stops being an individual belief, and turns into a manufactured conglomeration/corporation, I'm out.

That's why the Taoist line of thinking makes much more sense to me.

Evangelicalism has been the repellent for me. Hearing more than three words from one of them sends me running off the Christ reservation. They want me to believe their god condemns good people who do good things but won’t drink their Kool Aid to hell, while that same god rewards the scumbags who pour it.

Case in point: two monogamous people in a loving relationship who happen to be gay are an abomination heading straight to Hell. But, a lying scumbag who cheated on all three of his wives, paid off pornstars and demonstrates unnatural affections for his daughter is god’s chosen leader. Are you ****ing kidding me?

After one of those preachers opens his yap, I’m going to look at the entire religion as whacked. At that point, it becomes impossible to reconcile good Christ from bad Christ. The whole batch is contaminated, like Romane lettuce after a general recall.

Your TDS is really bad, I mean you even somehow got a Trump reference out of talking about god. Sad is all I got to say.

So, the next time you're down and out try finding a BITTER ATHEIST'S HOMELESS SHELTER! Or, you could find hundreds of Christian shelters.

By the way, Jesus is the perfect standard, and there's not one atheist or Christian or even Gandhi or anyone else who measures up.

Besides the hypocrisy of Evangelicals, there is another reason I reject Christianity. The premise of it makes no ****ing sense.

Here we are in this imperfect world, where children suffer and the old die miserable deaths, often in diapers with minds that no longer hold center. But ask a Christian why, and he says because god made it so.

In the same breath these people tell us the world has to be challenging and harsh, they say heaven, however, is perfect. So, one begs the question. Why would god make it so that one place sucks and the other is more blissful than an ice cream shop on a hot summer night? It seems to me that he could have just skipped the living on earth part.

Not true...God did not make it so nor was it ever His purpose for mankind...His purpose was for mankind to live forever on a paradise earth with the stipulation of looking to Him for guidance...

"Further, God blessed them, and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many, fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving on the earth.” Genesis 1:28

The homeless shelter I've volunteered with and donated money to has no religious affiliation whatsoever. It's a charity, not a church.

Those don't exist. Bitter Christians don't do charity, either.

For some reason I've noticed a lot more homeless people around here over the last year of so. Just an anecdote; I don't know if some migrated here or if there are simply more out there. The data I can find on it is all at least 2 years old.

As Gandhi said: "Hate the sin and not the sinner"

(It's fascinating how so many Christians think this is from the Bible, when it was actually said by Gandhi)

I really dislike how some religious people take advantage of disadvantaged people and try to shove their religious beliefs down their throats while 'helping' them.
