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!
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.
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!
Christians often claim that God doesn’t send anyone to Hell… we send ourselves!
Whenever we mention the injustice of infinite punishment for finite crimes, especially when the supposed ‘crime’ is simply not being convinced, it’s common for Christians to claim that God doesn’t send anyone to Hell… we send ourselves! This demonstrates one of two possibilities…
1. The Christian in question hasn’t read their Bible (an odd state of affairs given that they think it’s the inspired word of God).
2. The Christian in question is a liar!
Of course – it’s not uncommon for both these possibilities to apply equally.
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?
So many Armageddons past,
So many days that weren’t the last,
For you the end can’t come too fast.
My death is just the price you’ll pay,
So gladly to be on your way,
And if I’m damned – well, that’s OK!
I’ve written a little poem for all those Christians who love to gloat about their salvation and my alleged damnation. It only lasts two minutes. Have a listen and tell me what you think in the comments.
