Look at the trees

But trees are only proof of trees,
That they exist,
They don’t mean we must hit our knees,
And make up bollocks to explain the trees.

Godless morality

Christians and other people of faith claim that unbelievers cannot have morality. That’s ridiculous. Here’s why…

Christians often tell me that I can have no morality without a belief in God.
That’s nonsense.
Here’s why…

Part 2 with Jonathan

It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion.

This is both the longest and the most infuriating conversation I’ve had with a Christian. It’s definitely what you might think of as ‘long form’. It is my belief, which I told Jonathan several times throughout the discussion, that he simply is not equipped for this type of discussion. I have advised him to learn the basics of his religion and to actually read his Bible.

In the second half he demonstrates his utter contempt for anyone who doesn’t agree with him, his dismissal of any notion of equal rights and just how much he deserves the rarely applied (but in this case very well deserved) label of ‘Christofascist’.

His misogyny, racism, homophobia and xenophobia are expressed with a smug pride that has to be seen to be believed.

If we give people like Jonathan an inch they’ll drag us all straight back to the bronze age!

Discussion with an Eastern Orthodox Christian

Atheism is not a belief system.

Meet Jonathan Stephan, an Eastern Orthodox Christian from America who has some very particular views on atheism and the utility of Christianity.

Genocide for Jesus

So many Christians are supporting the current genocide in Gaza.

Here’s what I don’t understand… So many Christians are supporting the current genocide in Gaza. They claim it’s what their Jesus wants to happen. But that makes no sense to me.

I don’t see how anyone who’s read Matthew 25 can possibly think this is what their Jesus would want!

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.
