“The problem of hell can be stated a la Epicurus.

lunaradvent:

1. If I (atheist) deny Jesus yet don’t go to hell, then Jesus is a liar.
2. If Jesus is honest and you (progressive Xian) don’t think that I deserve hell, then Jesus is unjust.
3. If Jesus is both honest and just, then you believe that I deserve to spend eternity in hell.”

This conundrum is easily solved either by assuming that Jesus never existed or that if he did exist he wasn’t a god and didn’t know what the hell he was talking about.  (Get it?  What the “hell”?  I just crack me up sometimes.)

“They should be put to death. That’s what happened in Israel. That’s why homosexuality wouldn’t have grown in Israel. It tends to limit conversions. It tends to limit people coming out of the closet. — ‘Oh, so you’re saying we should go out and start killing them, no?’ — I’m saying the government should. They won’t but they should. [You say], ‘oh, I can’t believe you you’re horrible. You’re a backwards neanderthal of a person.’ Is that what you’re calling scripture? Is God a neanderthal backwards.. in his morality. Is it his word or not? If it’s his word, he commanded it. It’s his idea, not mine. And I’m not ashamed of it.”

God, of course, is not a backwards Neanderthal because God does not exist.  The God, as depicted in the Bible, is not a Neanderthal either, because I doubt that the Neanderthals were that into mass exterminations and genocides.  The God there has moralities imported from the Bronze age and, in all honesty, it is hard to imagine a worse moral code than the one depicted in Leviticus.  Indeed, it is an insult to use the word “morality” in the same sentence with the monstrous barbarism depicted in the Old Testament.  It is a morality consistent with the absolute worst traits that mankind has ever developed, and, if I didn’t know that man were perfectly capable of coming up with this amoral, brutal barbarity, I would only suspect that a demon with the devil’s reputation could possible have come up with it.

Religious people fucking terrify me.

canabisexual:

You cannot rationalize with them.

There is literally nothing you can say to have them see things any other way. They’re completely self-validated and do not rely on logic. They’re right, end of story.

There was this teenage girl spreading the conservative Christian homophobic, abortion-fearing patriarchal propaganda; she thinks she’s here to cure the world of something that doesn’t exist, yet is completely ignorant to the world’s real problems. It’s an intense brain-washed schizophrenia, and I honestly think something needs to be done about it; but it can’t, because the religious hold so much power; it’s too much of a “politically sensitive” topic to deal with. At what point is religious freedom overstepping it’s boundaries?

I believe in a God, I am in no way bashing any belief system, but to remain completely ignorant and isolated to the outside world, and then enforce your personal bias experience onto the lives of others…

It fucks with my head. Religion can be a very positive influence, why do people so blatantly follow it when it’s negative and immoral?

Using science to disprove God’s existence, is like trying to disprove history with time.

curiouscass:

octoberingabout:

God invented science, time invented history.

Fun fact: God created time as well. 

Hold up… If “God invented science”, why do so many Christians deny scientific facts?

Good question.

And what the heck does it mean to disprove history with time, anyway?  Time supports the concept of history.  Science doesn’t support the concept of God.  Neither does logic, for that mater.

Here are some top ways Christians push people out the church door or shove secret skeptics out of the closet.

1. Gay Baiting.

2. Prooftexting.

3. Misogyny.

4. Hypocrisy.

5. Disgusting and Immoral Behavior. 

6. Science Denial.

7. Political Meddling.

8. Intrusion.

Do yec’s ever think their arguments out?

Thinking logically is sinful.  They just think that any logical inconsistencies were handled by the all-wise and all-powerful God.
If any logical inconsistency between the Bible and the universe exists, it is obvious that the universe has it wrong.

If I have to go school and read dozens of books to be a nurse, how can you be a Christian without reading the Bible?

Easy.  Just go to church and let the preacher fill you up with all the filtered stuff that he says is in there.  Reading is hard.

In a move sure to piss off Anders Breivik,

—The bipartisan measure to create a separation of church and state will officially be presented on Tuesday, reports Norway’s TV2. The nation will not have an official religion, and the government will not participate in the appointment of church deans and bishops.

Svein Harberg, the spokesman for the Church, Education, and Research Committee stated that the decision “is historic both for the Norwegian Church and for the politicians in Parliament.”
The Church of Norway began after the Lutheran Reformation in 1536, and was officially called the Lutheran State Church. The state meddled very little in church matters, only quelling unrest when it had to, chose high church officials, and financially supported the church. Opposition from secular groups arose in the 1970s when Norway’s economy boomed and the church benefited.

Traditionally, every citizen of Norway became a member of the Church of Norway upon baptism. 79 percent of Norwegians are registered members, but only about 20 percent make religion a large part of their lives and only two percent attend church regularly, according to 2009 and 2010 data. A 2002 study done by Gustafsson and Pettersson revealed that 72 percent of Norwegians “do not believe in a personal God.”

Please, tell me how your god is so loving, he wants you to sue a small family for half of a million dollars. 

Alrighty then.  I’d say that this is enough to demonstrate that the leader(s) of church are batshit.

"People have the right to believe anything they choose, but not to impose that belief upon others. Protesting otherwise is merely trying to defend bigotry with pseudo-intellectual semantics."

Religious pundits from bishops to the Iona Institute bemoan the attacks from secularists on traditional Catholic values.Religious pundits from bishops to the Iona Institute bemoan the attacks from secularists on traditional Catholic values.

Yet for all their bluster and hand-wringing, for all the tabloid outrage, “militant secularism” makes as much logical sense as “aggressive pacifism” or “hardline tolerance”; it is an oxymoron, a cynical attempt to paint equality and fairness as infringing upon the religious, who seem aghast that after decades of entitlement they might actually be expected to play fair.

The concept of secularism is separation of church and state; one has the right to practise whichever religion one likes but not to have their particular belief mandated for others, nor the right to impose their viewpoint.
