“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.” - Seneca
All my life growing up I was surrounded by Christianity. The first week I was born I was brought up to the front of my parents church where they dedicated me to the lord. I went to church every single Sunday, morning and night, and even on Wednesdays, from the day I was born until I was 18. I believed in it so strongly and if I had to I would have died for it. During those times I went to church I became very Bible literate and experienced many things. I have seen miracles happen, people get filled with the Holy Spirit, people talk in tongues, fulfilled prophecies and much more.
Every single person in my entire family was a Christian and there was no one that didn't accept it or not believe in it. It was the only truth that I had ever known, and in my mind, it was the only truth that existed without a shadow of a doubt. So how did I go from believing it so strongly to completely disregarding it as truth? How did my reality completely change and flip upside down? It wasn't until I started asking unanswered questions that where always in my heart but I just kept putting off just like every other religious person does. Once I faced those questions I realized that Christianity could not answer them because it was not truth.
"For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29:11
The first problem that I found with Christianity is that it didn't give life any purpose or meaning. Now of course every Christian will tell you that God has a purpose for you and a plan for you if you choose to follow him and serve him but what exactly is the point and purpose in Christianity. The entire point of life in Christianity is to be born in this world, accept the Christian religion and believe in Jesus and ask him into your heart, tell others to do the same and then when you die you will go to heaven instead of dieing and going to hell forever. I don't know about you but if that is the entire point of life then that is depressing.
I have asked many Christians what the point of their life is and none of them seem to be able to answer the question. They will say, "God has a plan and purpose that is greater then I can understand" or "The purpose of life is to serve God and do what he asks us to do." A lot of answers that I get are just, "I don't know." Most answers are just to do God's work but no one seems to know what that work is. These are all answers that they tell themselves to deter from the truth that they don't have a point or purpose in life if they are a Christian other than spreading more purpose-less Christianity to more people and then death so they can go to heaven.
"He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite." - Psalm 147:4,5
The Christian belief that God knows everything creates a lot of problems and questions for me. I have asked these questions to Christians and they tell me that God's wisdom is much greater than mine so I can't understand it. Well I guess God must have forgot to give himself common sense when he was creating everything because no matter how you look at it, it is still wrong, and in a way, very evil. Christians try to put off these questions and sugar coat the problems and not mention them but they don't go away no matter how much you ignore them.
Free Will Does not Exist:
"Your Father (God) knows how many hairs there are on your head!" - Matthew 10:30
If you are a christian then you cannot accept the fact that we have free will. If you believe that we have free will then you are denying what the bible clearly states. The bible states that god is omniscient which means that he knew me before I was ever created. He knew that I would exist before the world existed. Every single action and every single thought that I have he already knew that I would have it. That means that my future is already known and already predestined. How can I have a choice and choose my destiny if it is already known and has been forever. That means that me writing this right now and you reading this was not our choice. God already knew that this very moment would happen and therefore you did not choose it to happen your just playing a role that god assigned to you with no thought or free will. Even if you argue that we do have free will and free thought, if we don't believe, think and adhere to this one faith, we are all wrong? Thats a little counter-productive is it not?
God Knew I Would Go to Hell
"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life...And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." - Revelation 20:12, 15
If god is omniscient, which is clearly in the bible that he is, then he knew before he even created me that I would go to hell. God knew that when I was created I would not believe in the Christian religion and therefore I would be thrown in the lake of fire forever and ever to burn and be tortured for eternity. Now why would a God create me if he already knew that he would send me to hell. I can't think of any reason other than for his own amusement. The Christian God must be suffering an extreme case of oxymoronism. Deliberately creating a person that is predestined to sin and then throwing them in a lake of fire to burn and be tortured for eternity is sadistic.
God Knew the Chaos That Would Happen
"Whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there; if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." - Psalm 139:7,8
God knew before he created Lucifer that he would turn on him and turn into Satan. He knew when he put that tree in the Garden of Eden that Adam and Eve would eat from it and bring down all mankind to experience pain and suffering and ever lasting hell. He knew that there would be thousands of religions and different beliefs. He knew that he would have to destroy every person on this earth except for Noah and his family because the people turned evil. He knew how many billions of people that he created and "loved" he would have to send them to hell forever.
He is so powerful that he could have just changed a few things and none of this would have happened. If he locked up Satan from the very beginning then he would not have tempted Eve. If God didn't put the tree there in the first place then she would not have sinned and this world would still be perfect with no suffering or torment. He knew that such a vague bible would create so much controversy and delusion. If God knew all this would happen then why would he
create such a terrible world. And if you think that God didn't create it, the devil and sins of mankind created, then that means that God knew it would happen and he allowed it which makes him no better than all the sins and evils in the world.
"I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things." - Isiah 45:7
If you actually read the bible and listen to the Christian belief of God and you don't question the morality of it then you better double check your idea of compassion and love. The concepts of Christianity are so evil and wrong and yet Christians except it and believe in it thinking that it is okay and that anyone who is not a Christian deserves what is coming to them. How can you say you serve a loving forgiving God and actually sit there and stomach what the bible says.
God is a Murderer
"Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children." - Isaiah 13:15-18
One of God's main commandments is thou shall not kill but as we look through the old testament God has killed thousands of people. In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people to be murdered. Sound to crazy to be factious. Just open your bible and start reading just how many people died because of God. "Well those people were evil" you say. Most of the people are killed just because they are from another country or one of God's men didn't like them or something similar to that effect. Most are innocent people that have done no harm to anyone and yet God kills them. Now I know most of you are shaking your heads thinking that this cannot be true but all you have to do is read the bible and discover the God that you are truly serving. You can find some examples of these horrific acts done by God in 1 Chronicles 21, Deuteronomy 3, Joshua 6 and Judges 21.
"Go, now, attack Amalek, and deal with him and all that he has under the ban. Do not spare him, but kill men and women, children and infants, oxen and sheep, camels and asses." - 1 Samuel 15:3
If you search through the bible you will find that God supports murder, rape, slavery, and child abuse throughout the old testament. When you read the bible it should shock any moral person. None of these are justified by the fact that "God allows it" and the people in history used "God" to manipulate other people for their own benefit just like today.
God is a Hypocrite
"Do to others as you would have them do to you" - Luke 6:31
God clearly gives us instruction to treat other people as you would want to be treated. So how is a God able to give us instructions on how to live and then be a hypocrite of his own word. I'm sure that God would not want to be treated the way that he has treated his own children. The Christian God is one of the unfairest and cold hearted beings I have ever heard of. The Christian belief system is so messed up and it makes absolutely no sense. Here is an example of the Christian God:
Jesus clearly teaches us that you cannot get into heaven without going through him first. If he is not our father than Satan is our father and we will go to hell forever and ever. So the Christian belief is if you don't ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins and come into your heart and believe in him then you will go to hell. Christians will accept this and they don't even realize the evil in that if it were true.
Let's say that there was two brothers born. One of them lives a life that far excels other people. He is so compassionate and loving and he cares for everyone and everything around him. He has helped as many people as he can and has actually changed enough people to create world peace. There is no more wars, famine, and suffering all because of this guy. Now this guy never really believed in the Christian religion and thought that it just wasn't for him. He is driving home one day from helping out millions of children and he gets in a car crash and instantly dies.
The next brother was the exact opposite of his brother. He hated everyone and was filled with anger. He lived his life raping millions of woman and killed thousands of baby infants. He was able to gain power and he nuked the entire world. Every single country but his own was completely wiped off the world and he turned all the people of his country into slaves. This guy lives to be 90 years old and he has caused suffering the entire time he was alive. He is going down in history as the worlds most evil man. Now he is lying on his death bed and before he takes his last breath he realizes that he has just messed up. He ask Jesus to forgive him and come into his heart and truly means it and then dies.
Now if you are a Christian then you believe that the serial killer rapist is going to go to paradise to be with God and the other brother that created world peace and stopped all suffering is going to go to hell to burn and be with the Devil. Now you can sugar coat it and say this and that but if you get straight to the backbone of it, this is exactly what the bible says. Where is the justice in that. If you think it's okay and that it should be like that then your moral compass is very distorted and you are no better than the evil Christian God himself.
Judgment Day
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" - 1 peter 4:7
The fact that there is a loving God that created us imperfect in the first place and already knew what we would do and then judges us is very maleficent. Now I don't think that you can just go out in the world and do bad things without paying the price later on but to be judged by a loving and forgiving God that cares about us is not a God I would want to serve. Just think of your children. You have unconditional love for them and no matter what they do you will still love them. Now sure when they do something bad you spank them or discipline them but do you judge them? Now if your children decided to move away and they never talked to you again would you condemn them to an everlasting torturing hell. Of course not! Now why would a God that has love for us more than we can ever imagine or give do that to us?
God Deserves Hell
"However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." - Leviticus 25:44-46
Any God that would allow and do the things that the bible says he does should be a God that is sent straight to hell. If you believe that the bible is truly the inspired word of God then you have to believe everything that the bible says as truth.
What could you possible do on this earth to deserve to go to hell to suffer pain and torture forever and ever. This lifetime is nothing but a thousandth of a second compared to eternity. How could one little choice that you make in this lifetime cause you to be thrown in the lake of fire forever. Something as simple as not believing in a certain religion or having a certain faith. Any God that would send creatures that he created to hell for a a simple act as that should be the one that is thrown in the lake of fire for he is worse than the Satan.
"As you approach a town to attack it, first offer its people terms for peace. If they accept your terms and open the gates to you, then all the people inside will serve you in forced labor. But if they refuse to make peace and prepare to fight, you must attack the town. When the LORD your God hands it over to you, kill every man in the town. But you may keep for yourselves all the women, children, livestock, and other plunder. You may enjoy the spoils of your enemies that the LORD your God has given you." - Deuteronomy 20:10-14
As I thought about all these things I realized that there would never be a God that is as evil as the one in the bible. The church and other Christians will never talk about these things and they put them off like they don't exist. Many Christians will ignore all of these facts and don't want to talk about them. They say they serve a loving kind hearted God but ignore all the evil that's in the bible. "God has given you a choice to serve him or reject him and if you choose not to serve him then you go to hell." Christians will say. Well what kind of loving God would say worship me or burn in hell. I think that if any human were an omnipotent and loving God they would be able to do a far better job than the Christian God does.
Well "what if you wrong?" I have heard Christians say. This just proves that the main theme behind Christianity is fear. Well first of all, even if I was wrong and it was 100% truth, that means that there is a very evil selfish God upstairs and I would feel sorry for the Christians in heaven worshiping this evil being. I was once asked, "What would you do if you died today and you found yourself in front of Christ and he was shaking his head heart broken that I didn't accept him in my life and said that I was not found in the book of life so I had to go to hell?" I told him that I would tell God that I would much rather walk the plank and burn in hell than to worship an evil God like himself and then I would give him the middle finger as I jumped into the lake of fire.
