I'm so sick of religion.
I saw someone write this the other day in response to the question "Why don't you believe in God?":
"Because God is, for all we know, a delusion. A defense mechanism that makes people feel more safe about themselves, the world and the rules, and, not at least, death. It is a mimetic virus that works both with sweet promises ("you will go to heaven") and draconian threats ("if you leave us you will burn in hell"). This mixture of allure and menace is what makes it so tempting, and makes even otherwise intelligent persons completely abandon reason, allowing it to spread like an infection.
This is fueled by the fact that it does not only infect adults; even children get indoctrinated. In what is probably the most subversive form of mental child abuse, children are raised as "catholic", "Muslim" or "Jewish". Not even in our dreams would we think of labeling children "capitalist" or "conservative", but religious labels do not provoke criticism for some reason.
I do not believe in God because I consider religion to be a (in some cases even dangerous) type of mental infection, and I am glad to be immune against it."
And I completely agree.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for having faith and being a good person and if you really need the thought of an all-powerful god and heaven if you're good to get you through life by all means believe it.
It's when people discriminate others for having different beliefs,
and try to "convert" everyone to their "right" religion,
and spit venom at things they don't agree with saying "God hates you",
and start wars because people somewhere are following another idea
that I get pissed.
It's honestly so hard for me to not think people who believe in God are morons.
If you really think about things and stop listening to the shit you're fed by others than I think you could come up with the conclusion that it's a fallacy.
There is no fucking evidence for this idea other than a cryptic ancient book with 40 authors said to be the "word of god."
People say God answers their prayers when good thinks happen.
Good things happen to me and I don't pray.
People say God is not answering their prayers because they need to learn a lesson when bad things happen.
Bad things happen to me and I don't pray for them to have not.
I don't pray to get through them.
I don't pray for guidance or feel the POWER OF THE LORD leading me through valleys of darkness.
My life has never been better since I stopped believing in this fairy tale.
And now everyone is waiting for the anti-Christ to come and then they all can go to heaven and do what... no idea. Sit around I suppose. Live in a city made of gold and jewels. (Gold and jewels... who held those things so highly? Ohhh yea... the Kings and Church of centuries ago, right? Sounds like something they'd make up to get people to obey them... could be wrong.)
Sorry, that just doesn't fly with me.
The universe is gigantic. It is idiotic to think that this planet has any prominent role in it.
I'm not going to attack your beliefs until you start attacking mine.
So keep your religious bullshit to yourself if you can't respect the fact that I don't believe a damn word of it.
