This is a public service announcement. The author of a window for truth and their audience think this about atheists’ memes
Atheist memes are among the most childish and unintellectual things on the internet; not to say all atheists are unthinking robots but the memes that prosper are generally the ones that state something the average atheist WANTS to believe is true.
They click “Like” as unthinkingly as an elderly Christian grandmother might proclaim “Halleluiah” when told to at a Billy Graham event. They react, but they don’t think before reacting.
They put down “sheep” and yet act like sheep.
But am putting the cart before the horse.
1. God sends no one to hell
Tell me, how could a mortal send an omnimax being out of their lives? How the fuck would you do that? Is this to say there are things god wants but can’t effect?
2. Even if you ignore my first point, who says God sends everyone to Hell for having an abortion?
In all honesty, this didn’t make sense.
3. Kills His only Son
I will let the author speak for himself and bold font added by us
First of all, it was Roman authorities who did the killing. They were urged on by manipulative religious authorities who felt threatened by Jesus, His popularity and His disregard for their petty religious rules and regulations. A suicide by the centurion and there is a big if. We have no evidence the fellow lived, forget the suicide.
Secondly, God allowed Jesus to die because a significant part of Jesus’s mission — many Christians would declare it was the most important part — was to be a sacrifice that would make up for all the wrong things we’ve done and all the right things we’ve failed to do. Well, it would do that for everyone who accepts the gift of Jesus. In this case, god was an accessory to the murder
Why was a death necessary? Because this “sinning” business is deadly stuff, far more lethal than most of us truly understand. And nothing we can do or say or think or pray can make up for all the wrong things we’ve done and the right things we’ve failed to do. All our efforts will always fall short. Always. Fuck! He is god. He could as well have said you sons of bitches and bastards are all forgiven. I mean he created the universe by saying let there be, how could forgiving people without killing others be harder?
He proposes at the end
Yes or no, post your thoughts below and let’s have a conversation.
and I pass that offer. What type of conversation do you have with a person in the deep end of stupid?
I really don’t care if somebody writes on their blog about their faith etc. It is their right/choice.
What I get upset about is when there is something in the news about a violation of the constitution and Christian responders think they are being attacked. They don’t understand the law and rave on about atheists trying to take their rights away.

Unfortunately, religion cannot be taken out of government. Openly or not, religion IS government. If not present as a transcendent ingredient, it must be replaced by a religious-like respect/worship of a “supreme leader”, mostly present in nations aligned to extreme versions of Marxism-Leninism, e.g. North-Korea…
As I said many times, atheism’s fundamental mistake is its unwillingness to consider the infinite cognitive capacity of the human mind. Mankind has unfortunately resorted to religion because its collective consciousness has trespassed a long time ago the limitations of its own understanding of the seen universe’s obvious endlessness. Matter is a humble shell for the infinity of the unseen.
Poor and childish attempts to explain life in it’s infinite complexity, and I have to mention -to the dismay of my friends-, evolutionary sciences, are from an intellectual perspective, inferior even to some religiously backed attempts to explain it. This is why I profoundly respect Crick, who left open a door for an infinity worth its name.
Philip Pullman is probably the first intellectual to have raised in his monumental “His Dark Materials” trilogy, issues truly compatible with the infinite nature of the mind.
Sorry guys, but materialism cannot explain why every child would so much love to fly…

God came from above, on spaceships seen as chariots of fire, to hand over rules and knowledge to a race developed to a stage where reason can replace impulse.
Unfortunately, the powers to be needed subjects, not autonomous individuals. Hence religion…
The Jesus cult is the one, greatest deception against reason. Without it, religions would have outgrown themselves into a form of science which would have developed not as a reaction to the dark ages, but as a comprehensive phisycal and metaphysical endeavour.

So shed your responsibility and give away your power, right? After all, that’s what scapegoats are for, right? I cringe when I read this memorized rhetoric that eventually created neural pathways and reinforced into neural networks.
They haven’t a clue that they come across as extremely insecure and unempowered which is exactly what those in power, who strategically invented and shaped this religion, wanted. Isn’t it interesting how they are blinded — unable to see that their all-knowing god deliberately created them to fall?
