Just read the book!

Christians claim to believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and yet they usually can’t even be bothered to read what it says.

Christians claim to believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God and yet they usually can’t even be bothered to read what it says. Surely if they really believed it was inspired by the most powerful (and interested) being in the universe – the Deity with the power over their eternal souls they might find the time to see what it actually says! I know I did when I was a believer.

The lies they tell

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t make me your enemy. Please stop lying about me.

I’m an atheist. That doesn’t make me your enemy. It just means I’m not convinced that your God is real. It’s a difference of opinion. That’s all there is to it. Please stop lying about me.

Suicide and Christian compassion

The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation.

Having spent the last 30 odd years of my life dealing with ACTUAL suicidal people – not the imaginary ‘armchair’ kind Dennis seems to be thinking of – I just had to respond.

The superficial nonsense that passes for morality in the Christian worldview just won’t cut it in the real world of human distress and actual desperation. The fact that Christian doctrine can add insult to injury so callously is just one more piece of evidence to demonstrate how utterly broken and immoral the Christian worldview truly is!

Crucifixion

Crucifixion as substitutionary atonement is barbaric and ridiculous. I want no part of it.

They tell me that their Jesus died for me. But that’s absurd. A scapegoat can’t pay the price for someone else’s sins. It’s barbaric and ridiculous and I want no part of it.

The Burden of proof

If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names.

If you want to convince me that something is true, If you’re making the claim then the burden’s on you. If I said I’d risen from the dead you’d say I’m playing games, If I claimed 500 witnesses you’d want to know their names. And if I said God wrote my diary, I’d anticipate inquiry. How you’d react to my diary, Is how your Bible seems to me. Of course, my diary’s bollocks, as you knew, As to the Bible, the burden of proof is on you!

Something instead of nothing

One of the silliest questions asked by theists: Can atheism explain why is there something rather than nothing?

An old mate of mine asked…
“Can atheism explain why there’s something rather than nothing?”
I was surprised because he’s a bright guy. One of the most intelligent lads in my old Grammar school as it happens. And yet his question was so ridiculously stupid I could hardly believe he’d asked it.
However, since it’s not uncommon for atheists of less intelligence than him to ask this same question I put my answer into a video so I won’t need to keep typing out the answer every time some theist presents the question as though it’s some sort of ‘gotcha’.
Spoiler alert… it isn’t.

It’s Christmas!

This is the day
When God botherers say
That their Master arrived
To enslave all he spied

It’s Christmas Day
And come what may
You’d better be merry
And break out the sherry
‘Cause this is the day
When God botherers say
That their Master arrived
To enslave all he spied
No escape, those who tried
Will be punished soon after they’ve died.
