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!

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.

That’s when the bastards got me!

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

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!

Sending ourselves to Hell

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.

Christian threats of Hell

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?

Escatological follies

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.

Judge not, lest ye be judged

Some Christians in their arrogance,
Imagine hate is all I see,
They’re certain that without their God,
there can be no morality!

Judge not, lest ye, yourself be judged! A brief poetic offering for both #atheists and #theists, especially #Christians about judgement.

Who are you to judge me?
