After they walk out of church, they can just feel the glow of self-righteousness having set through another worship session to the almighty god...It's holy BS<br /><br />I remember one cold winter Sunday, they had to cancel all the local church services in the area and I can just imagine god slamming the chairs around in heaven in anger from not getting his regular Sunday worship, although I'm sure the preacher got his regular pay for that day.<br /> <br />I think perhaps one reason atheism does not appeal to christians is because, atheism has no other alternative for christians to grasp on to, we don't offer an after life with a huge mansion beside jesus as a reward and streets paved with gold with walls of jewels lining the streets and atheism doesn't offer empty promises based upon faith with an eternal punishment for the people who don't believe the same way as we do.<br /><br />So to a christian, they cannot easily imagine having nothing to believe in, that's the power and stronghold of religious indoctrination.<br /><br />I find so hard to believe that so many people fail to see through the charade of christianity.Steven Bentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139666223082953913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-48894619635927275352010-06-21T22:22:16.449-04:002010-06-21T22:22:16.449-04:00The way I wound up losing my faith was: I got so s...The way I wound up losing my faith was: I got so sick of all the shit that goes on in church. Once I distanced myself from the insane soap opera, I began to think more clearly because I had voluntarily cut off the constant flow of reinforcement of false ideas.<br /><br />Once I had made up my mind to allow myself an open minded listen to the "other side" (i.e. non-Christian) of the arguments, it was a relatively short journey to Atheistville.<br /><br />It was scary as hell, but, deep inside I knew that the teachings from the bible were somehow just plain fucked up bad. Eternal punishment for a few years of sinning?....c'mon, man....really?<br /><br />Once the ball got rolling, the scales fell from my eyes. Taking those first steps toward doubting the validity of the bible were really difficult, but once I began to admit that the whole book is just old shit that was made up by ancient primitive people, it came down like a house of cards.<br /><br />Getting burned out on church was the best thing that ever happened to me.speckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07770183555873499062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6211409678921393693.post-77079686138151289712010-06-20T23:55:26.889-04:002010-06-20T23:55:26.889-04:00Yes indeed, it's down right scary, because it ...Yes indeed, it's down right scary, because it becomes biblical dictatorship, it tries to lead the reader as the only source of absolute rightness and truth of the world and the universe, it tries instill into the reader that the bible is the only source of all knowledge and wisdom that anyone could possibly ever want, it tries to instill that the bible has all the answers for every question, even if the answer is not clearly understood, it's in there for the one searching with pure spirit and heart. <br /><br />The bible has built in blockers to instill to the reader that he/she is already mentally defeated before they even try, something like fear of the lord, is the beginning of wisdom, fear seems to come naturally, so fear is of wisdom...BS Fear is also used for control and subjugation, using fear as a cheap ploy to control the masses and it has been working for thousands of years.<br /><br />Thank you, CPSteven Bentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139666223082953913noreply@blogger.com
