The God of Abraham’s not a shit,
He’s just a myth that doesn’t fit,
The modern world because we know
Too much.
I wondered how I could have been so blind
Genocide and slavery
Gaslighting and rape
All sanctioned, even ordered
By this God of perfect love
Arbitrary punishments
Capricious twists of fate
Hypocrisy, failed prophecy,
Sadism and hate!
The devaluing of woman
Only useful when they breed
A receptacle for callous
Selfish men to sew their seed
And I realised in trembling fear
Shredding many a heartfelt tear
That this hateful God was far from good
No one with integrity could
Support its vile crimes
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!
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
You say I can’t be moral without God, ‘Cause I don’t pray.
Wittering about “Where the saints have trod”, Or so you say.
Denying my compassion, Like it’s going out of fashion,
You invalidate humanity, Personify hypocrisy,
As hymn by hymn, And prayer by prayer,
You smugly sit, In your armchair,
While others do the work you claim,
Can only happen in your Jesus’ name.
Have you no shame?
The Christian moral compass only points back to the Bronze age!
You say that you have morals, But you don’t,
You claim I have no conscience, And you’re certain that I won’t,
Know right from wrong…

Your moral compass points right back to the bronze age!
There is no such thing as Christian morality in any meaningful sense. Rather there’s a list of ancient rules, many of which make no sense at all in the modern world.
God is not a good role model
There is no more abusive character than the Abrahamic God than in the whole of fiction.
Do you want LGBTQ+ kept out of schools? Then this is the 2 minute video you need to see.
Do you think LGBTQ+ people should be kept away from children?
Would you sack gay teachers because they’re a bad influence teaching kids to be gay?
Would you prefer to stop trans citizens from accessing schools or keep lesbians out of youth groups?
Then here’s a two minute video just for you!
How would you describe your priest, pastor or worship leader? Are they actually fit to lead?
Speaking as an atheist I believe that it is possible to divide clergy into three groups. There are the gullible, the deceitful and those who are both gullible and deceitful.
Christians regularly impugn the characters of atheists without ever considering the implications of their own tactics
Whenever a Christian threatens you with Hell, no matter how smugly they do so it pays to consider just what they’re telling you about themselves. I don’t just mean the shameful delight they take in the prospect of another person’s suffering, that’s clear to anyone. I mean the implication of their choice of threat.
What does it tell you, tell the world about them when they suppose that threats of Hell will be enough to make you bow down before their imaginary God?
Christians regularly impugn the characters of atheists without ever considering the implications of their own tactics. When a Christian threatens you with Hell, what are they really telling you?
