lol man, you can think what you want, but the only Christians I hold to that crappy standard are the ones who show me they deserve to be there. I've heard those same Christians say the exact same things you're saying and every other Christian has said in this thread, but I don't decide you're the same as them unless you show me that.

Alot of the things I've said are only found in a few bad apples, but, alot of the things I mentioned are found in alot of Christians...this kind of explains it to me, seen it on Facebook.

"You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about Gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who the gave birth to a man-god who was killed, came back to life and then ascended into Heaven"

"You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of Gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of your God"

Those two quotes probably sum most Christians up for me from my experiences...there is no problem in thinking your God is the only God, or thinking that radical Muslims are evil and all that...but what gets me is when those Christians get so shook up and mad when anyone even hints at another God, or try and shrug off how many people have been absolutely destroyed because of Christianity, and religion as a whole.

I mean really, what good has religion done the world besides cause us to fight?? All I've seen it do is make a Taliban yell out "Allahu Akbar" before they blow themselves up, and make them call us dirty Jews when we're loading them in a bird for medical treatment when I'm clearly not a Jew..or be a reason behind an American troop deciding to open up on a group of civilians because they were at the wrong place at the wrong time and because they were "those damn Muslims are goin to hell anyway". That's not even to mention all of the other wars and atrocities that I haven't witnessed committed against other people all over the world in the name of religion. I'm really, really trying to find something good in it all, but I'm having a hard time at it.

That reminds me of a couple of atheist quotes I have heard before.



"We are all atheists about most of the gods that humanity has ever believed in. Some of us just go one god further. ” —Richard Dawkins

"If god doesn't like the way I live, Let him tell me, not you." unknown

"The Christian god makes man human, then burns him when he acts like one."
