I hate religion. I hate christianity.

[ultrasharpy123456]

the only reason I'm worshipping god isn't out of love, it's because I don't want to go to hell.

 

[whywere]

Howdy!

All my life, over 60 years here on this planet, I have always believed in a higher power, but never ever any form of organized religion, as it always seems to me to be about money and not helping folks.

I believe that there are good and bad forces or whatever, but me having to fork over money each and every week to go to like "heaven" no thanks, if my actions do not get me there then money will be of no use anyway.

To me anything related to religion is fictional and is just a way to brainwash people, I only fear this hellish reality we are currently trapped in, I very strongly believe that once we die we just cease existing, we finally return to the ideal state of non-existence where there is no more suffering for all eternity.

 

[The anhedonic one]

I hate the bearded asshole in the sky called god and all of the man-made religion's of this shitshow world.
Religion was dreamed up by a bunch of low iq fucktards sat around a campfire in the desert because they were all bored shitless and drunk.
I like the Bible, it makes great toilet paper.

Yes Christianity is very illogical and is a cult by definition. Proclaiming someone your lord and savior is the definition of a cult. It was also meant to be a cult, it is called giving cult in European religion. Though I do believe in Heaven, however I don't think I believe in a God, maybe it is a computer, and maybe there are several, in terms of if something is all-knowing. Christianity is a not a serious subject in academia though it is in politics by people who have run the country into the ground like the Roman Empire. My guess is that in some cases it attracts gullible people. People in science have said it is child abuse to teach it to children as fact. It was written in the same language as Greek mythology, perhaps meant to be a similar style and perhaps was intended to be nonfiction by its writers. A bad game of telephone for civilization when it comes to this subject.

Here are some crazy quotes from the Bible:

"I permit no woman to teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent."

(Timothy 2:11)

"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ." (Ephesians 6:5)
"No one whose testicles are crushed or whose penis is cut off shall be admitted to the assembly of the LORD." (Deuteronomy 23:1)
"But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die; because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt though put evil away from among you."

(Deuteronomy 22: 20-21)

"When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draweth near for to deliver her husband out of the hand of him that smiteth him, and putteth forth her hand, and taketh him by the secrets: Then though shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity her."

(Deuteronomy 25: 11-12)

"He that tis wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

(Deuteronomy 23:1)

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." Leviticus 20:13

"Master, Moses wrote unto us, if a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother."

(Mark 12:19)

"If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile then in my anger I will be hostile towards you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters."

(Leviticus 26:27-30)

"For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him."

(Leviticus 20:9)

"You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." (Leviticus 25:44-46)
"If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die." (Deuteronomy 21:18-21)
"Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookback, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken ... He shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries." (Leviticus 21:17-23)

 

[CYP11B1]

There are two fragments of the Bible that completely destroy abrahamism:

Genesis 15:7
Yahweh to Abraham: I am Yahweh who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to possess.

Genesis 15:7 Interlinear: And He saith unto him, 'I am Jehovah who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give to thee this land to possess it;'

Exodus 6:3
Yahweh to Moses: And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El Shaddai, but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

Exodus 6:3 Interlinear: and I appear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; as to My name Jehovah, I have not been known to them;

biblehub.com

Who is El? Basically Canaanite Zeus.

Deuteronomy 32:8-9
When the Most High (Elyon) allotted peoples for inheritance, / When He divided up humanity, / He fixed the boundaries for peoples, / According to the number of the divine sons*: / For Yahweh's portion is his people, / Jacob His own inheritance.

* - in newer texts censored as "sons of Israel" etc.

Either Yahweh lies (not trustworthy) or the Bible was not divinely inspired (making it useless for believers).

Yahweh is an evil god (created suffering both in humans and other animals) so even if he existed, there would be no point in worshipping him, nothing would stop him from breaking the promises.

There is no evidence whatever that any god exists. Thre is no evidence whatever that any hell exists. (Or heaven, either). So I suggest (1) you stop worrying about a non-existent hell, and (2) you stop worshipping a non-existent god. You can make beter us of that energy by being considerate to other people.

A great book to read is " God hates you, hate him back " by CJ Werlenan. Exposes the mistakes in the Bible in a brilliant and funny way.

 

[Techef]

I don't want to hate any religion. But having been born into an atheist family that converted to evangelical christianity when I was about 10, even after removing myself from it I still suffer trauma from my involvement on top of the numerous negative effects it had on my life while I was actively involved. It's also been inconvenient for me in terms of CTB as suicide = hell still seems to be strongly ingrained in my mind, even though it's been more than a decade since complete removal. So I "hate" the effect it's had on my life.

 

[Aisley]

"He that tis wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord."

(Deuteronomy 23:1)

Lol. Christ almighty, judaism has some sometimes hilarious, sometimes barbaric penile fixations. Poor dickless bastards, like that wasn't bad enough.

I hate the bearded asshole in the sky called god and all of the man-made religion's of this shitshow world.
Religion was dreamed up by a bunch of low iq fucktards sat around a campfire in the desert because they were all bored shitless and drunk.
I like the Bible, it makes great toilet paper.

A good clue to authors is in the iconic 10 commandments. 7,8 and 10 are all about protecting people's shit. They had to say it three times. Means the people who wrote this were the few who had shit. If an intelligent being, instead, had come up with them, they could have just said don't touch or think about touching someone's shit. And the other two could have gone to condemning, say, cannibalism and pedophilia. But the bible never did that, did it? In fact...

 

[Aergia]

Hell isn't real. I was raised by conservative theists and like many other former Christians/Muslims contended with a fear of hell that I've now overcome. There's nothing to suggest that what awaits us post-mortem is anything other than the unconsciousness that preceded our births. There are also plenty of resources out there (largely created by former theists) that provide advice on how to overcome a fear of hell. Check these out:

On getting over a fear of hell:

[Superdeterminist]

I find it weird that you hate religion yet also worship god. Whatever I guess.

I hate religion because 99.9% of religions involve worshipping/praising god, and I don't think god (assuming real) is worthy of worship. Most of the time they claim he is not ever to be questioned. It is insulting to me that someone would worship the creator of such a hellish place as this. Naturally, they have their (lousy) scapegoats to get god off the hook, an extra tactic which I find incredibly slimy.

Seems interesting. It is crazy to think how far Islam set the Middle East back. Christianity is similar with the Roman Empire and I think played a role in the decline of the USA.

 

[Unwr!tten]

I think Christianity, like anything can have its benefits. It's when people take it, twist it and use it to hurt others that makes it a problem. It's like with anything. I've been hurt by people using Christianity and twisting it to hurt me, but I've also been hurt by people taking "Progressive" movements and twisting them to hurt me. There are good Christians and there are horrible, despicable, destructive ones.

I am A Latter-day Saint (Mormon) and though I believe in and find great comfort and community in my religion, I will never ever dismiss someone's viewpoints and experiences. I will always listen when someone says that religion has hurt them, because like with a gun, words, a knife or anything else, put religion in the wrong hands and it can hurt worse that the deepest stab wound.

I'm sososo sorry to anyone who's been hurt by religion and you have every right to be angry and I wish I could hug you. Your opinions are valid and they matter, because without them, we cannot change for the better, to learn to build up things like religion to be more loving and caring and not judge mental places where people feel hate.

Just know that in my belief, in my perspective of religion, no matter what— whether you believe or not, whether you hate God or not, you will not go to hell, you will find peace after this life, even if you take your own life, because no Just God would punish someone who couldn't handle the pain anymore, who just needed a way out.

i love every single one of you and I just wanted to share this.

 

[MrDarkness]

I personally I think twisting the words of god is a sin, even if you killed yourself god wouldn't send you to hell, unless your a murderer, I just think of death is god calling their creations home

 

[leavingsoon99]

I've concluded with myself that this can't be a god of love. Anyone who wants your worship or praise using fear and pain is not a god of love. Hell is described as "separated from god". If that's the case, hell's exactly where I want to be. I left christianity a long time ago. My life is all the better for it. Good luck with your journey.

I don't worship anyone or anything. I find the entire idea of religion preposterous.

I mean, I don't like God very much either at all~ :/ It feels like He's cursed me! >:(
But I believe in spiritual things because the world would just be too boring otherwise, and I rather enjoy the idea of it all~ I believe in Christianity because the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus Christ is extremely good and it's the traditional religion of where I live. And believing and being worried about Hell is merely a side effect of that~

(Deuteronomy 25: 11-12)

Fortunately for Christianity, the majority of the those quotes are from the books of the Law (which the Jews have to follow) which have been fulfilled and no longer apply anymore to Christians due to Jesus's dying for our sins on the cross. :) The one from Mark is an exaggeration of Hell, and the one from 1 Timothy forbids female priests, but it depends on your denomination whether you believe it forbids them only in that church or continuing until today.

I don't want to hate any religion. But having been born into an atheist family that converted to evangelical christianity when I was about 10, even after removing myself from it I still suffer trauma from my involvement on top of the numerous negative effects it had on my life while I was actively involved.

Sorry about your poor experiences in evangelical Christianity. :( They tend to do a lot of evangelizing, but them and Calvinism also scare a lot of people away with poor practices and beliefs. You may not believe me now but please keep an open mind. There are many more types of Christianity than just those 2, most of which are far better in just about every way~ :)

So they used to have to follow them. It is still the same lunacy as having to follow them now. Not allowing female priests is sexism, since it is a hierarchy of the church. I believe in Heaven however Christianity is a not a serious subject in the slightest and is a mythology that confuses people like telephone.

 

[Praestat_Mori]

Religions are manmade and are indoctrinated beliefs to control the masses and to make them frightened if they don't follow. There is no hell and no heaven, after death there is nothingness or pure energy that's in the case what we call "life/soul/mind" has sth to do with energy.
