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
Sit down and do the maths. it seems that 1st century Christianity was nowhere near as persuasive as your pastor might claim
There’s nothing terribly impressive about the growth of Christianity during the first century. Just do the maths!
40 years ago I was approached by Christians. It was an unhappy time for me – I was 17 and had just split up with my first real love. I was desperate to feel a sense of belonging. In other words, I was ripe for harvest. The bastards got me.
Ten years later, having accepted young earth creationism, the inferiority of women and the bigotry of Christian homophobia to name just three of the travesties I accepted, I found myself reviewing it all. And once I allowed myself to think critically again the whole thing came crashing down – and so did my sense of self.
Christianity promised me a better life but all it really did was screw me up. This channel aims to help others avoid that trap with a blend of counter-apologetics, critical thinking skills and an alternative set of principles for a happy life – ones that actually work this time.
This stuff has been 30 years in the making so far. I hope you find it helpful.
