Look at these churches, a massive waste of tax payers money and construction. A nut house for nutty people who believe that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...
Look at this unleavened bread wafer on the right. It is a pathetic religious symbol for a human sacrifice. Catholics actually believe that during the holy mass this wafer becomes the body of Christ. I really do not understand why they haven't drawn this blatant comparison to cannibalism. Oh sure they will turn and postulate that its only a symbolic act. But if i told you the stories of the Aztecs who devoured live hearts in a sacrificial manner everyday to make sure the sun didn't stop rising, you'd surely be APPALLED at that. We keep on being told that religion, whatever its imperfections, at least instills morality. On every side, there is conclusive evidence that the contrary is the case and that faith causes people to be more mean, more selfish, and perhaps above all, more stupid
The Bible may, indeed does, contain a warrant for trafficking in humans, for ethnic cleansing, for slavery, for bride-price, and for indiscriminate massacre, but we are not bound by any of it because it was put together by crude, uncultured human mammals who sheep herded in 0AD. Limbo was introduced in the medieval era in order to explain where the souls of many unborn children would go to. But how incredible that in the last few years the Catholic Church has actually altered its doctrines to say oh now Limbo doesn't actually exist. How fortunate for all the families who believed that their children were in that dimension. Truly disgusting
Mother Teresa, one of the most despicable figureheads of the Catholic Church in the 1930's. She was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. How repugnant. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction in 3rd world countries.
Take the risk of thinking for yourself, much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way. Sure, reality would be a bit more bleak and sad but as long as you made the most of your short time in it existence it would surely be a better life than to be an abject slave to a Totalitarian Master of a Celestial North Korea. But at least in YOU CAN FUCKING DIE AND LEAVE North Korea. I cannot bring myself to accept the ludicrousy of having to believe in a Judeo-Christian God who demands us to both love and fear him, REALLY this seems like the essence of SadoMasochism.
For the better part of 10 years i was religiously indoctrinated and was subject to mental rape yes that is what i believe religious indoctrination is, it is in its purest form a method of child rape, using frightful tactics to scare a child into submission. Having been liberated from the congregations of lunatics i find myself constantly researching counter arguements and a means to support myself if ever a debate should arise concerning my new found status as an Atheist. It is NOT another religion or form of BELIEF it is a STATE OF MIND. Give me some time to read up on the other 2 major Monotheistic Religions, namely Judaism and Islam before i rant about them as well.
Obviously i have numerous other counter topics or arguements on which i could write here but i think i've ranted enough for now. And now for a quote!
"Let’s say that the consensus is that our species, being the higher primates, Homo Sapiens, has been on the planet for at least 100,000 years, maybe more. Francis Collins says maybe 100,000. Richard Dawkins thinks maybe a quarter-of-a-million. I’ll take 100,000. In order to be a Monotheist, you have to believe that for 98,000 years, our species suffered and died, most of its children dying in childbirth, most other people having a life expectancy of about 25 years, dying of their teeth.
Famine, struggle, bitterness, war, suffering, misery, all of that for 98,000 years. Heaven watches this with complete indifference. And then 2,000 years ago, thinks “That’s enough of that. It’s time to intervene,” and the best way to do this would be by condemning someone to a human sacrifice somewhere in the less literate parts of the Middle East.
Don’t let’s appeal to the Chinese, for example, where people can read and study evidence and have a civilization. Let’s go to the desert and have another revelation there. This is nonsense. It can’t be believed by a thinking person."
- R.I.P. Christopher Hitchens, one of the most ferocious intellectual atheists to have ever lived and a most gentlemanly scholar.
