Okay, now REMEMBER, TWICE now, I've said, "okay, let's stop this debate now", but thou continuest still, so...
Well, that's my point! YOU can say as much about your religion as you want and very few, if any, will complain, but as soon as I (or someone like me) voice(s) MY/OUR opinion, I'm/we're the bad guy(s)!
And, if we're given free will, what's the point of having a god? It's not going to help any of us at all anyway, is it? Might as well pray to a carton of milk because you'll get the exact same results. Mom's a pretty devout catholic girl. When dad was dying of cancer 6 years ago (and had I KNOWN there were nearly 400 cures for it back then., I would've done something to help him!!), mom prayed and prayed to god to help him!! The cancer still killed him!! A few years later, although as healthy as a horse, she had a stroke!! God STILL hasn't healed her!! My brother was a heavy bible thumper during the past few years of his life but never had a kind word for ANYONE and did everything he could to make mom's life a living hell. Then he jumped off a bridge a few days before last Christmas!! Obviously, god was too busy playing golf that day to help save my brothers ass and, in the process, make life a bit easier for mom.
A friend of mine believes he has a little man living inside his nose! Would you humour him and even try to converse with the little man that ONLY HE can see or hear, or would you seriously think about having him locked up in a room with soft wallpaper? If so, why? You talk to an invisible man that lives in the sky and nobody locks you up.
This guy I work with, Chris, is a holy roller, but he LOVES rap, sex, porno, getting drunk, and taking drugs and if he gets even the slightest bit pissed off, he'll punch a hole in a wall, or beat up machinery and he FIRMLY BELIEVES (because the BIBLE tells him so!!) that it's HIS god given RIGHT to kill gays, transsexuals and the like!! Then there's me, I know the bible and religion are a complete farce (and people like him prove it!!), but I'm one of the sweetest, kindest people you'll EVER meet and I have a VERY open and extremely loving heart and I not only try to do things for other people, I also try to help animals, wild or tame, if they'll let me!! I'm kinda like Ellie Mae Clampett without the tits (so far). I don't drink, I don't do ANY drugs, I don't lie, and I try to think things through rationally instead of just beating the shit out whatever happens to be around me. I also strongly believe in treating my fellow human beings, REGARDLESS of their sexual bent, as I would have them treat me. Now, if it came down to you being in serious trouble and needing help and you had me or Chris to choose from, who would you choose? Me, the kind and loving atheist? Or some guy that'd just as soon kill you for "being gay" (in his eyes), as look at you, even though he STRONGLY believes in god?
Okay, let's pretend there IS a god. Oh! I forgot, you're already doing that. So, if it was up to god to choose who, of Chris & I, should get into heaven, who do you think he'd be most likely to pick?
One more quick question: Here I am putting down your religion and I'll bet those of you that believe in that junk are ready to string me up, yet, here YOIU are putting me down for MY beliefs and I'd still accept you as a friend!! NOW which of us is more Jesus-like?
Trust me, I COULD go on for QUITE some time, but I'd rather not. Can we stop now?
Take care, all!! I wish you ALL the best!!!! Peace!! And, psychic hugs and kisses!!
