Pat Robertson seriously said that Haiti made a deal with the devil back in the 1800s so they could free themselves from their European masters, and that the deal they made with the devil is responsible for the earthquake they had recently.

What. The. Fuck?

Seriously? Why hasn’t anyone taken this insufferable douche bag off the air? This is just like during 9/11, when he blamed the attacks on homosexuals, and just like Hurricane Katrina, when he blamed that on abortion being legal in this country. Basically, he blames whatever groups he dislikes/don’t agree with him for whatever the tragedy du jour is, then asks you for money to help his cause! For those of you who like to donate to worthy causes, don’t give him a fucking penny. He has absolutely no intention of using that money to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. He does, however, have every intention of using that money to further his own fucked up agenda. Fuck Pat Robertson. I hope he chokes on guilt and shame for eternity.

However, if you feel so inclined, you can do a good deed by donating to the Red Cross, an organization that actually does help victims of natural disasters, unlike Pat Robertson. Please donate if you have the money to spare.

Oh, and fuck you, Pat Robertson. Fuck you.

On PZ Myers’ blog, I learned that the morons Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron, you know, the ones who brought you the banana, are taking what is perhaps one of the greatest books ever written in the history of science, and attempting to turn it into more Christian propaganda, even going so far as to connect evolution with Hitler! These assholes have no shame, do they?

They’re taking Darwin’s Origin of Species and writing their own introduction to the book, in an attempt to convince as many people as they can that they’re right, and science is wrong. What’s worse is that they’re going to 50 campuses across the nation and handing out copies of their mangled version of this book for free! We need to stop them!

I can’t believe that these assholes would stoop so low. Actually, I can. I can believe it. I had just hoped that they wouldn’t stoop this low. Because now I have to stoop to their level. The only way to fight back is to stoop to their level. Since they’ve taken their gloves off and are now just making shit up, I think I’ll do the same. No, wait a minute. I don’t need to make anything up. That book is evil enough on its own.

One thing in the video that amused me was that Kirk Cameron said something about the “unscientific view that everything was created from nothing.” Why is it that these assholes keep going back to the beginnings of the universe? The beginning of the universe has absolutely nothing to do with the beginning of life. Evolutionary biologists do not study the origin of the universe (or the origins of life, for that matter). That’s what astronomers do. Evolutionary biologists study the… wait for it… wait for it… evolution of life! Yes, just as the name suggests, these scientists study the method by which life forms evolve. And despite what the dumbass proponents of creationism are saying (they don’t know the difference between a fucking theory and a fucking hypothesis), evolution has never been disproved, and in fact is supported by tons of evidence. There are no scientists that are claiming that evolution is a lie. Everything these assholes are telling people is a fucking lie, because they know their religion is a crock of shit. I think right now we’re experiencing the death throes of religion in this country. They have nothing left, and now are resorting to childish tactics, because they know they’re fighting a losing battle. Their only hope rests in the hands of the gullible idiots who can’t get up off their asses and go to school.

Religion is dying. Finally.

One of my favorite atheists of all time, Normal Bob Smith is under attack from the Catholics. Well, it’s a pretty lame attack, but you can read all about it here.

What I find amusing is that these idiots are upset about a silly website, when there are much bigger threats within their own church! Their own pope actually condones child molestation, yet I don’t see them doing anything to put a stop to that! Their pope, back in the 60s (before he was pope, obviously), issued an order to all priests that they were to keep the victims of molestation silent, or be excommunicated. So their own pope is a child molester.

Technically, all Christians/Catholics/Believers are child molesters. No, not all of them have molested children, but they’re just as guilty as those who did, because they’re doing nothing to put a stop to any of it. Instead of focusing on real evil, they’re focusing on shutting down a harmless website, because it makes fun of what they believe in. Apparently their hurt feelings take precedence over victims of child molestation at the hands of the Catholic Church. Am I the only person who sees the insanity in this? Nice to see what their priorities are…

This is why religion is dangerous. This is why religion should be eradicated. These beliefs are incredibly dangerous and harmful to humanity. I urge all believers to really examine their beliefs. Do you really want to be responsible for the molestation of innocent children by associating yourself with this organization (the Catholic Church)? Because as long as you consider yourself to be a believer in these things, I will view you as a child molester. And I can’t fucking stand child molesters.

Oh, and I should mention that another hilarious poster said that he/she would “give up chocolate for a week.” I’m assuming that this person believes that if he/she does this, god will take down the website. I’ve always thought that believers were pretty fucking dumb, but that just takes the cake.

For all those “Christians” out there who want to force their religion down the throats of those who don’t want it, and who keep claiming that this nation is a “Christian” nation, here’s irrefutable proof that this country, in fact, is not a Christian nation at all. President Obama himself said so!

Hey guys! You wanna know what’s really cool and hip? Getting to know Jesus! He’s so super amazingly awesome! I just want to be with Jesus ALL THE TIME! I LOVE JESUS! LOLOLOLZ!

OMG! IT'S JESUS! LOLZ!

If it weren’t for Jesus, I would probably rape and kill people all the time, because what’s the point of life if Jesus doesn’t exist lololz? The fact that I don’t do all those things that atheists do all the time proves that Jesus is real! He’s real! He’s real! He’s real lolololz! Praise Jesus shahalahalamaldalafala. I was just typing in tongues! OMG! Jesus, you’re so awesome!

Also, I’d probably have all kinds of sex with those evil homosexuals if Jesus didn’t exist! Because if Jesus didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have morals! I mean, atheists are stupid if they think they can be good without Jesus! Those silly atheists! I mean, come on! Duh! You can’t be good without God! They’ve even done scientific studies on it, and all scientists agree that God exists and that morals can’t exist without God! Duh!

Plus, everything in the Bible has been proven true by scientists! It’s true! Just go to Answers In Genesis! All the real scientists work for that website! They’ve proven everything in the Bible! How amazing is that? OMG! LOLOLOLOLZ! *drool*

I’m just so excited to have Jesus inside of me! He’s like super cool! I can’t imagine life without Jesus, and doing everything Jesus tells me to do like a good little sheep! Because the Bible tells us all that we are God’s sheep, and he is our master! We’re sheep! Just think about that! We are meant to be God’s sheep, to do everything he tells us to do! In fact, right now Jesus is telling me to go get something to eat! LOLOLZ! *drool*

I just wish everyone could see the true majesty and glory that is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He is King, he is Lord, we bow to him! Oh, guide us, Lord, we are lost! We need you to give us guidance! We know it’s a sin to think for ourselves and to have our own opinions and a thirst for knowledge and truth! It’s evil! Please help us remain willfully ignorant! In Jesus’ name I pray unto you. Amen.

Why do Christians have to be so stupid? Why? Arguing with these fuckers is like arguing with a brick wall. I’m absolutely sick of these fuckers, setting up their little straw man arguments, trying to refute Science, when they’re completely unfamiliar with what they’re attempting to refute. You’d think that they’d at least pick up a few science texts and at least try to learn something of their opponent’s position before attempting to debunk anything. I have read the bible. I am probably more familiar with the bible than most Christians are. I’m not stepping into an argument blind. I know my facts. Christians just don’t care. But I suppose that’s obvious, really, because if they truly cared about facts, would they actually be Christians? They wouldn’t.

I’m tired of arguing with Christians. They’re stupid, and I just have to learn to accept that. But, as each day passes, I find myself wishing more and more for some sort of legislation that prevents these idiots from reproducing. People should have licenses to breed. I mean, you have to have a license to drive a car, but not to raise a child? Maybe I’m just crazy, but I think raising a child is a little more complicated than driving a fucking car. People should have to pass IQ tests, and a series of psychological evaluations. If they don’t pass all of them, they get neutered/spayed. I’m not suggesting we kill these morons, but we should at least kill their genitalia, so they don’t spread their poisonous genetic material, ensuring the need for psychiatric medications for everyone who has to deal with their tainted offspring for years to come. Also, it would be nice if we could just take the warning labels off everything. Let Social Darwinism fix the problem for us. If these idiots didn’t have society protecting them from themselves, they’d end up killing themselves off, and the world would be a much better place.

There should also be laws against indoctrinating children at such a young age. Children should never be allowed to attend church until the age of 18. Religion should be considered like tobacco. There should be signs on every church door that say, “The sale of religion to minors is prohibited under Federal Law.” Because children believe anything they’re told. That’s why the more stupid ones keep believing into adulthood, even in the face of scientific evidence that contradicts everything they believe. If they were given the chance to develop critical thinking skills before they’re indoctrinated, I’m pretty sure that the Christian population would die out almost immediately. Because no one in their right mind, no rational individual, would believe a word that stupid book of theirs says.

If Jesus makes everyone a better person, if Christians really are the experts on morality, if Christians really are better people than the rest of us, why do they keep molesting kids? I just find it incredibly hilarious that Christians have the audacity to claim that they are more moral than the rest of us, but then I find these articles about how Christians keep molesting children.

Three times is too much for it all to be a coincidence. This just shows that Jesus makes you want to touch little kids, and I find that to be thoroughly disgusting and reprehensible. It just pisses me off when Christians pretend to be the experts on morality, but then I see these articles. It can’t be coincidence. I’m sure everyone is aware of the negative attention the Catholic church has received due to all their priests molesting little boys. Either Christianity causes people to become pedophiles, or pedophiles just seem to be attracted to Christianity. Either way, I’m just glad I got out of all of it. I don’t have to worry about my kids getting molested. Not that I have any kids, mind you, because I have more than three brain cells and didn’t want to ruin my life.

To all the Christians that read this website, stop posting comments about how I’m wrong, and your faith is right. By admitting you believe in Jesus. you’re telling me you like to molest children. So if you don’t want to be called a child molester, don’t write any comments on my site. I will call you a child molester if you do.

P.S.
Also, don’t write comments saying that science is proving lots of things in the bible. That’s just stupid, and it’s wrong. Science has, if anything, completely discredited the bible. Christians fed me that line of bullshit when I was a kid. Didn’t fall for it then, won’t fall for it now.

I discovered this gem of a website. It’s a Christian website, funded by the Templeton Foundation, an organization that is desperately trying to reconcile Science and Religion, which, as any sane individual knows, are irreconcilable.

What really caught my eye on this site was this little tidbit:

Descent from Common Species

A cardinal principle of biological evolution is that all living things descended from earlier, less advanced ancestral species. These first free-living organisms are believed to have appeared on Earth about 3.85 billion years ago, making some of the early details of evolution a mystery. As a result , the actual origin of life remains unexplained, and evolutionary theorists do not attempt to explain it. (See Question 24 about The Origin of Life). These original organisms, however, carried information and were capable of self replication. Over very long periods of time, nature’s selection for beneficial mutations — as well as nature’s selection against detrimental mutations — has led to the vast diversity of living things that exists today.(See Question 26 about The Complexity of Life.)

I love how they just took a jab at science by stating that evolutionary theorists don’t attempt to explain the origin of life. What a shitty fucking tactic! They’re attempting to cast doubt onto Science by making this statement, in the hopes that people will be more swayed toward belief in god, rather than Science. I would just like to take the time to point out the flaw in that statement. Evolutionary Biologists do not study the origin of life. They study evolution, as the title suggests. The origin of life has nothing to do with evolution. Evolution comes after the origin of life. Nice try, assholes.

The authors of the website also claim that they acknowledge the validity of evolution, but rather than applying Occam’s Razor and attributing it to a series of naturalistic events, they instead give their magical sky-fairy all the credit. That, to me, is like a child who saunters into a store, steals the most expensive item in that store, and shouts, “Mine! ALL MINE!” Pathetic.

Religion is no longer relevant. It provides more questions than answers, and Science has contradicted pretty much everything in that bible of theirs. Religion is only alive because people are morons. If this country were to spend more money on education, religion would disappear entirely, at least, in the good ol’ U.S. of A.

Would you believe something from a book that was written over 2000 years ago by primitive cavemen who knew nothing, or would you believe something from Science, which uses rigorous testing to verify the theories it puts forward to explain our Universe? I know which I’d believe, but then again, I’m a rational human being, and you are not.

Jesus fucking Christ, I hate Christians! They’re self-righteous, pompous assholes who believe that the entire world revolves around them. Fucking assholes. But the trait I hate most in Christians is their utter inability to use birth control.

The Duggar Family is a good ol’ family from Arkansas, who, according to the front page of their website, happen to have 18 fucking kids! Yes, they have 18 kids. The thing is, they used to use birth control, but the wife apparently got pregnant, had a miscarriage, and was incredibly upset over it. I have one question: why? If I was a female, I’d be hoping for miscarriages every time I got pregnant (which wouldn’t be frequently, because I’m smart enough to use birth control). I think miscarriages are a blessing. More people should have them. Child birth isn’t a miracle. It happens hundreds of thousands of times per day. The ability to use birth control is a miracle. We have too many people on Earth! Stop fucking!

Of course, being the asshole Christians that they are, they can’t just let their kids grow up and make their own decisions about their religious affiliations, they have to indoctrinate them when they’re young and gullible. It’s incredibly sick. Everyone knows that if you wait until children are older to indoctrinate them, they will take it no more seriously than Santa Claus, or the Easter Bunny. Here’s a challenge for you Christians: if you have so much faith in your god, why don’t you wait until your children are capable of thinking for themselves before you start indoctrinating them. See how many of them fall for your bullshit then. I’m guessing very few, if any, will convert to the Dark Side.

And due to the Duggar Family’s utter inability to use birth control, or even to abstain from sexual contact for more than five minutes at a time, they have contributed to the world’s destruction. That’s 18 people who will grow up, have 18 more kids of their own, all of them dipshits (as all Christians are). That’s 324 people who will hold up traffic, preach at you and tell you you’re going to hell, drive gas-guzzling SUVs, ruin the environment, and refuse to tip waitresses on Sundays because they think people shouldn’t work on Sundays. Of course, the Christians don’t care about the environment, because the Rapture is coming soon, and the environment won’t be their problem at that point. We have to stop them! Contact your Congressman! Tell them we need laws against Christians reproducing so often and frequently! Tell them we need laws in place governing their reproductive behavior!

I know what you’re thinking: “It’s none of your business what they do in the bedroom! If they want to have 18 kids, let them have 18 kids! It’s not hurting anyone LOLOLOLOLOLZ!” But the thing is, it IS my business, and it IS hurting everyone. As I said in the above paragraph, they’re destructive assholes who don’t give a shit about the environment, because they believe the Rapture is coming soon, which is a very scary thought. Their complete disregard for people who aren’t like THEM is absolutely frightening.

Also, the Christians like to view themselves as America’s Parents, and if they see fit to try to govern what other people do in their bedroom (I am referring, of course, to the Christians’ stance on homosexuality), I think I can do the same. It goes both ways, assholes.

I hope the Rapture does come soon. I can’t wait for the wacko, nutty Fundamentalist Christians to get the fuck off planet Earth.

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. I’ve been thinking mostly about religion, and the way that it’s propagated throughout society, and I believe I’ve come up with a relevant, logical answer to this question. How is it that religious propaganda is transmitted to others, despite the fact that scientific evidence disproves every claim that the religion in question asserts?

Think of it this way… You go to a show. You hear a new band, that no one has really heard before. You tell everyone you know about this band that you love so much. Your friends may or may not like the band, but whether they like the band or not, they spread the message to everyone they know, because they think it’s stylish to like this band.

Well, the band eventually has enough followers that they become mainstream. You hear them everywhere, on the radio, on television. You can’t escape them. They are now a household name. There will be some people who hate them, but are afraid to denounce them publicly, because they have an overwhelming desire to “fit in.” Then there are those who love them, and aren’t afraid to proclaim their love for this band publicly. Then there are the people who see the band for what they truly are, and are not ashamed to denounce them publicly. The band I’m thinking of is Nickelback. The religion I’m referring to, of course, is Christianity.

Nickelback is probably the worst band ever. Seriously. They suck. Christianity is probably the worst religion ever (of course, my opinion is quite biased, living in a Christian society). People who hate them (Nickelback) but are afraid to say so, are Christians. People who love them and aren’t afraid to say so are also Christians. People who see them for what they truly are, are atheists. (Note for my more stupid readers: This is all metaphor.)

I’m sure most atheists have failed when trying to de-convert Christians. This is because they’re such die-hard fans of Christianity that they’d never even consider denouncing their faith. I’m sure that at least 3,203 of my readers have encountered fans of (insert shitty band name here) Nickelback, and have tried to convince them that they have horrible taste in music, but failed. This is because these people are such die-hard fans of Nickelback, that they would never even consider hating them. People are sheep. They are afraid to differ from the accepted norm. Unfortunately for the more intelligent among us, the accepted norm is belief in magical, bronze-age fairy tales.

The point of this article is that you can’t convince stupid people that they’re wrong, because you’re smarter than they are, (unless you’re one of my readers) and they don’t understand intelligent arguments. The reason we can’t convince people that Nickelback is a shitty band is the same reason we can’t convince Christians that their religion is incredibly dumb.

Q.E.D.

Before we discuss anything, watch this video, and be amazed by the impeccable logic of these Christians. This is exactly the sort of thing I’d expect coming from Fox, though.

As you can see, the irony is completely and utterly lost on her. She just doesn’t get the point that the atheist sign owner was trying to get across. I’m sure that this point would be pretty obvious to most people, except for my readers, who, as I know, are all pretty stupid; definitely not smart enough to understand my subtle sarcasm. A sign was stolen by Christians offended by the sign an atheist posted. In response to the theft, the atheist posted a sign that sported a slogan from the Christians’ very own book! “Thou Shalt Not Steal.” Genius, I think. I certainly understand it.

But she says this: “So use… one of the Ten Commandments to prove your point that you’re an atheist? That’s a complete insult.” Huh? What the fuck?

I’m utterly flabbergasted at the blatant stupidity in that remark. I mean, seriously? You don’t get it? He’s turning your rules back on you! You, the people who believe in that book, the Bible, who allegedly take these rules seriously, especially THE TEN COMMANDMENTS! Fuck! Are you really that stupid? Jesus Christ!

Oh, and of course, let’s not forget the most racist of all statements: “…some of my best friends are atheists.” Which is funny, because she was saying that atheists are “trying to get their 15 minutes of fame” and that they “can’t leave well enough alone” and that they’re having “tantrums.” This is what some of her best friends are doing. Ha. What a bitch. Some friend she’s turned out to be…

Also, the male (I don’t know his name, and quite frankly, I don’t care) calls atheism a “movement.” As if it’s so organized. I couldn’t keep from laughing when I heard that gem. Seriously? An Atheist Movement! Ha! That’s why I see all these atheists protesting in the streets, like herds of sheep. There will never be an atheist “movement” because, as atheists, we’re capable of thinking for ourselves, and don’t have that “sheep in a flock” mentality, because we’re smarter than our more basic, animal instincts.

I love how she equates posting a sign to “outbursts” and “tantrums” from the atheist community. And what the fuck is “Christmas Wars Fatigue?” I wasn’t aware that there was a war on Christmas. I didn’t see any tanks, or people dying in the streets at all during the month of December, though I was hoping. I really was hoping. It was not an attack on Christmas! It was an attack on your hypocrisy! You’re all a bunch of hypocrites! That was the message the atheist sign owner was trying to get across! Don’t steal a sign, when it says pretty clearly in YOUR book, “Thou Shalt Not Steal.”

Shut the fuck up and get over it.

Why is everyone so fucking stupid? I can’t handle it. There are times when I just want to shove an icepick into my brain. Maybe if I were stupid I’d be happier… Who knows… I’m not really anxious to find out any time soon. Knowing my luck, I’d be stupid, but still angry.

No one knows how to think. No one knows how to use logic. Everyone seems to live in this fantasy world where demons and angels fight over their eternal soul, as if they were important people, rather than nobodies like all the rest of us. And people think I’m crazy! At least I’m still living in reality…

Only in America would I be the one locked up in a mental hospital, when millions upon millions of people throughout the country believe that a magical spirit in the sky is talking to them and guiding them through life, but they’re the “normal” ones. This nation is fucked up. And it’s all because of religion.

I’m sick of the double standards religious people have when it comes to other people’s beliefs. If I were to say “Your bible is stupid” to a Christian, they’d get angry and say “Stop persecuting me for my beliefs!” But if the tables were turned, they wouldn’t hesitate to put down the beliefs of someone else, because their religion is the “right” one.

I’m sick of the ignorance that religion encourages. Christianity is a dangerous belief system, in that it discourages any kind of rational thinking, or the questioning of authority. Christianity turns good people into evil sheep, ready to die in the defense of that flawed belief system. I’ve always viewed Christianity as a type of virus, one that turns people into unthinking zombies. It’s scary living on the outside of that world.

It’s especially scary when people tell you to go to their church, and then they give you the evil eye when you decline. It’s especially scary when Christians tell you you’re an amoral monster who will be going to hell. It’s especially scary when Christians talk ceaselessly about how god talks to them and answers their prayers. It’s especially scary that these people run the White House and have their fingers on the big red button. It’s incredibly scary that most Americans view all of this as perfectly acceptable.

One thing that fascinates me about Christians is their amazing capacity for self-delusion and doublethink. Christians pride themselves on having a loving, caring god, but this same god will condemn a person to a burning, fiery torment for all of eternity if that person does not believe in him.

Their messiah, Jesus, preaches tolerance and acceptance, yet this is rarely followed in their religion. Christians seem to be tolerant only of things that agree with their delusional belief system. I’ve noticed that a Christian will go up in arms if you denounce his/her religion, but they’re more than willing to trash yours, because theirs is the right religion. This amazes me. If this isn’t a perfect example of the blatant hypocrisy rampant in the Christian religion, then I don’t know what is.

Here are a few disturbing quotes from Christians that I’ve found online:

“No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest “cover” of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims.”

“The only solution we have to stop gays from recruiting other people is to cut off the source. They need to be taken to specialized containment centers where they will be forced to become straight and accept Jesus as thier savior and to repent from their disgusting, wicket, hatful, devilish ways. Those that refuse to go can either be forced, or banished from society in other specialized communities where they have no connetion to the outside world at all. Most would die of AIDS anyway. Anyone who refused any of the answers to make them better would have to be killed or banished.”

It seems that this type of thinking is the “norm” for most Christians. I realize that I’m over-generalizing here, and I’m well aware that there are decent Christians out there who respect the rights of other human beings, but, as one who grew up in a fundamentalist Christian atmosphere, this is the type of thinking that I’ve grown accustomed to from Christians, and this is the type of thinking that terrifies me. What compels these people to be so ignorant? Are they choosing to be ignorant on purpose? Or can we blame this on the sad state of our public education system? Whatever the cause, it truly frightens me that people can be so ignorant, and it leaves me feeling no hope for humanity whatsoever.

It saddens and angers me that people think this way. I’m disgusted by it all. I just hope that humanity grows up sometime in the near future.

For those who are unfamiliar with the basic beliefs of Christianity, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of all the things that Christians believe. And it’s absolutely true. They actually believe all this stuff. I’m so not even making this up.

1. The earth is flat.
2. Snakes used to have legs and talk.
3. Noah somehow managed to fit billions of animals on a single boat.
4. Jesus had magical powers.
5. Moses saw a talking, burning bush.
6. Angels used to have sex with people, creating giants in the process.
7. God loves you, but will send you to a fiery torment for all eternity for not believing in him.
8. Unicorns live on a magical planet in another dimension.
9. Dinosaur fossils were put here by Satan himself. (As if he had nothing better to do.)
10. The sun revolves around the earth.
11. Ted Haggard is not gay. (HA!)
12. Leprechauns live in caves on planet Neptune.
13. Wearing aluminum foil on your head stops aliens from reading your thoughts. (Not true. Nothing keeps aliens from reading your thoughts. Duh.)
14. Slavery is acceptable. (If you’re a Christian and disagree, you’re violating God’s Word, and you’re going to hell.)
15. “Goddidit” is a much more plausible explanation than Evolution.

Stupid Christians.

I am scared of Christians.

They claim that no one can be moral without their god. Just think about that statement for a second. I’m an atheist, and I’m pretty sure I know right from wrong. All without the need of a god. And most atheists are like that. They know right from wrong. When a Christian says that you can’t be moral without their god, it scares me.

“Well, you’re an atheist, so that means there’s no punishment for you in the afterlife, so what’s to stop you from murdering and raping people?” That statement really scares me, and I get that a lot from Christians. What they’re really saying is, “Well, if I didn’t believe in god, I’d probably kill and rape a whole bunch of people.” That’s really fucking scary.

There may not be a punishment for me in the afterlife (because I don’t believe in an afterlife and there is no scientific evidence to support such a claim), but I do know that there are laws in place that are enforced for everyone, not just Christians, so there is a punishment for such behavior. But more to the point, just because I don’t believe in an afterlife, or in any of their wacky, bronze-age superstitions, that doesn’t mean that I’m going to go on a killing/raping spree. Give me a little more credit than that.

You see, when you’re a child, you’re taught certain things. You’re taught the difference between right and wrong, usually before you’re brainwashed into that wacky little cult. You know that hitting people is bad, that being nice to people is good, etc. All without the need for a god. So when a Christian says something like that, I get really nervous.

Because they probably would go on a killing/raping spree if they didn’t believe in god.

And besides, if Christians really are morally superior to us atheists, why is it, according to a poll taken in 1997, that Christians make up 80% of the prison population in the U.S., while atheists only make up about 0.2%?

That’s because morality doesn’t come from god. As Richard Dawkins said, it comes from an ever-changing “moral zeitgeist.” Things change. At one point in our history, slavery was perfectly acceptable. Now it’s completely abolished worldwide. And the bible condones slavery. So obviously we didn’t abolish slavery because of religion.

So all of you Christians that absolutely need that belief to keep from murdering, keep on believing. The rest of us don’t need you killing our loved ones, and we certainly don’t need you draining the tax payers’ money by ending up in jail.

What amazes me about Christians is that they can denounce all other gods/religions/supernatural stuff, but not their own. Why is that? What proof do they have that their god is more real than the thousands upon thousands of gods that have been invented since the dawn of early man? None, other than a book that was written over 2,000 years ago.

I was raised as a Pentecostal, and for the uninitiated, allow me to explain just how crazy they are. First of all, they’re not mellow at all. They are the most hyper bunch of freaks I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with. They run around, flopping on the floor, speaking in tongues, claiming that their behavior is the product of having received the “infinite wisdom of god” or something like that. They preach nothing but hellfire and damnation, yet, with a straight face talk about the infinite love of their god. You wouldn’t think that god loved anyone, really, the way they talk.

Maybe there are some decent Christians out there, but I’ve only dealt with the crazy fundamental types. The ones that take every fucking word of the bible literally. Whenever I think about the typical Christian, this is the image I get:

Typical Fundie Christian

Fortunately for me, the Christians got a hold of me too late, so by the time I started going to Church (I was raised in foster care, and was inducted into Christianity a little too late), I had developed reasoning skills, and thus, their feeble attempts to brainwash me into their wacky little cult failed. Ideally, Christians want to start the indoctrination of their children around the age of four. I was eight by the time they got to me.

When I first heard of all of god’s miracles, the burning bush, the flood, talking snakes, etc., I didn’t believe any of it for a second. Using my newly acquired powers of logic and reason, I ascertained that the aforementioned events could never have taken place. I quickly realized that god was like Santa Claus, but for old people.

I look at Christians, and I feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for them because they still believe in Santa.
