“I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.” This was said by scholarly writer, Stephan F. Roberts in 1995 when he was involved in a religious debate with several church newsgroups when they asked why he dismissed evidence of god. A student, Cailin from Boston, Massachusetts wrote an essay that was published on thisibelieve.org and said, “I’m glad I don’t believe in God, I don’t really want to be associated with the people who do. ...Why can’t we all do what’s right, because it’s right? Why does Jesus have to tell me to love my neighbor, can’t I just love him because it’s the right thing to do? Should we have to be told right from wrong by some imaginary friend in the sky? ‘Love thy neighbor–’ What, unless he’s gay? Unless she had an abortion? Unless he’s a Muslim? Don’t even get me started with ‘Thou shalt not kill…’”


War, torture, genocide, terrorism, repression of liberties, promotion of false moralities, racism, prejudice, cruelty to animals, child abuse, suppression of scientific progress... Just a few of the many criminal monstrosities religion ordains upon our subjugated society.

When you’re intelligent enough to look past the absurd foolishness to answer the questionable logically, it’s like being declared a genius. But they don’t call it “genius-ism-of-religious-ism,” they call it atheism.

I know there is no such thing as god. What proof is there, the Bible? The Bible says god exists... and it also says donkeys talk. There’s two testaments with basic Christian religion: The Old Testament and the New Testament. The fact there had to be two because the first one was so inhumane should be reason enough to disprove the truth of it. But every religion is like that. There are so many different interpretations of god that there’s no possible way they can all be true.

Atheism is well... it’s not a creation tale embellished with pretty stories about death and floods and it doesn’t threaten you with eternal damnation, but at least it’s realistic. The only somewhat understandable reason for “having faith” besides pure stupidity, is fear. Fear of the answers to your questions. Like why are we here? No one knows that. There’s no point in pretending that there’s some huge plan for us. It’s pure cowardice and ignorance to have blind faith in someone that doesn’t even exist all because you’re scared of questions and refuse to accept science.

Not only is this dark reverie veiling the truth, but it’s hurting our society... badly. Religion thrusts rules upon its victims that alter their entire mindset. They become hypocrites and they discriminate against people who won’t preach the same thing. Their morals become warped and defected.


The bottom line is atheism doesn’t discriminate, it doesn’t judge, it doesn’t promote illegal things, and most importantly, it doesn’t hurt anybody.
