(Yes, those words are an attack to any christian on Southperry). Is it because Christians try to teach around about Jesus? But how would you even be able to judge something when you don't know much, if anything, about it?. I believe most of the people here has never read the Bibble, yet they talk about religion as if they were scholars (not like i'm one either), which makes your opinions one sided.
I request this thread to be locked.
I've been an atheist since I was born. I was raised one. I'm actually Jewish though. I don't believe in the religion I do love the traditions though and celebrate the holidays and everything. It's really nice and fun.
When I was 5. JUST 5. I was at a Jewish day care school that I've known my whole life. We were eating lunch on one of the days of Hanukkah and the what do you call them? the sort of priest like people... well anyways he started to say the prayers you know.. And one of my friends interrupts. Hes all being silly like. "GOD KILL EVERYONE WHO DOESN'T BELIVE IN YOUR AMAZINGNESS. I LOVE YOU AND ANYONE WHO DOESNT DESERVES TO DIE." You know I was five so I yell. HEY STUPID I DON'T BELIVE IN GOD AND IM YOUR BEST FRIEND SO I DESERVE TO DIE?
This day I will remember for ever because the priest like person kicked me to the curb without even calling my parents. I proceded to wait there for hours until my parents came. I cry'd and my parents ended up calling the cops and the priest went to jail for a week or so and got kicked out.
Ever since I've wanted to question religion more and more.
I didn't think other religions were bad. I hated Judaism though. But then last year. I went to a catholic church with my friend when he was getting his confirmation. Afterwards we went to speak to the priest and he thanked him and everything. Then the priest asked who his friend was. he told him " Oh thats my friend connor! he won't be getting confirmed anytime soon though because hes satanic!! HAHAHAHAHA" Obesely he was joking around. Im not satanic O>O Im just atheist. The priest freaked out and started saying weird mumbo jumbo and me and my friend were trying to tell him he was just kidding and that I'm only atheist. People began to crowd and stuff. I ended up getting banned from there but it got worse. A few of the teenagers proceded to drag me to the back ally and beat me up until I passed out and my friend called the cops.
I'm not saying everyone is like that. I'm just so pineappleing mad that I hate all religion. I question it everyday. I want to know why people would believe in some crap that if you look logically for even a minute doesn't make sense at all would lead to such violence. I wonder why when ever I give a homeless man a dollar he thanks the lord not me. I wonder why every time I go to my friends house for dinner they thank the lord for the food they work for to buy. I wonder why people take this hoax so seriously.
At the time of these events I was living in Atlanta Georgia. If there was a wall-mart for religion it'd be there. WWJD bumper stickers and door signs everywhere.
