People often ask me why I speak out so much about a God I don't believe in. The post below is a good example of why. OTHER PEOPLE believe in God to such an absurd degree that they want all things to be subsumed under their version of theism. I will not be silent about that.

I'd ask him to confirm or deny if he's the same God who drowned all creation, murdered the firstborn of a nation, and annihilated fetuses, infants, children, and animals for nothing more than the "sin" of being born to the "wrong" parents. If yes, I'd tell him to fuck right off.

I was a Christian for over half my life, but came to realize that theism is like a house built on the sand—its foundations quickly wash away in the tide of honest scrutiny. Theism has serious, adverse, real world impacts that are dangerous to humanity—so no, I will not be silent.

The fact that so many Christians still adamantly believe that the gospels were written by known eyewitnesses is testimony to the indoctrination and miseducation within Christianity—they don't even have an accurate and honest understanding of the provenance of their own holy book.

Atheist: I don't believe in God. Theist: You don't know how the universe began or how life started or how consciousness works or where all the transitional fossils are or what our purpose is. And you sure as heck don't have any morals. Atheist: Uh-huh. I don't believe in God.

NOTHING is a "sin". "Sin" is a bogus concept invented by credulous and judgmental people to coerce other credulous people into fearing the shame and judgment of a fabricated God. Liberate yourself from the tyranny of mythical dictators who can condemn you to imaginary punishment.

Things I believe (2024 version): —There are no gods. —There are no souls. —There is no afterlife. —Holy books are myth. —Nothing is immaterial. —Nothing is supernatural. —Nothing is worth deifying. —Consciousness isn't fundamental. —No one can KNOW anything with 100% certainty.

I was a Christian for half my life. I've heard ALL the evidence. In the end, it was a deep and thorough review and rehash of ALL the evidence in a desperate attempt to keep my faith that led to my eventual atheism. Theism is bunk precisely because there IS NO credible evidence.

@McClureShawn I seriously doubt you’ve honestly looked at the evidence. You have a bias and refuse to listen to anything that doesn’t support your dogma.

Christians believe the claims of the Bible because they believe the Bible is the word of God, and they believe the Bible is the word of God because it says in the Bible that the Bible is the word of God. If the absurdity of this logic isn't obvious to you, you may be a Christian.

Those speaking of "angry atheists" are likely conflating atheism with antitheism. Atheists alone don't have a dog in the fight (or fight God). ANTITHEISTS do. I'm both. Believe what you will, but keep your beliefs THE FUCK out of governments, judiciaries, politics, and schools.

When abiogenesis is definitively demonstrated in a lab, will that be the final nail in the coffin of theism? No. Because theism—no matter how adamantly theists claim otherwise—isn't based on logic and reason, it's based on faith and hope in pursuit of what one WANTS to be true.

—God tells man not to do evil. Evil prevails. —God tries to destroy evil by drowning the world. Evil prevails. —God tries to destroy evil by sacrificing his son. Evil prevails. I suppose one COULD consider this a problem of evil. Or as evidence that God is fictional.

To Christians, the environment is expendable. When you believe that God has given man "dominion" over all creatures (Gen 1:28) and that the Earth will be destroyed after the 2nd Coming of Christ, you simply don't have the same sense of urgency and preciousness about the Earth.

I went from silent atheist to vocal atheist after the SCOTUS repeal of Roe v Wade. I'm no fan of abortion, but I'm a fan of the right to choose AND of the separation of church and state, and the repeal convinced me that remaining silent was no longer a responsible option for me.

Jesus, if he lived at all, is long since dead and was never God, and there is no credible evidence that ANYTHING supernatural actually exists. Can we all just be reasonable adults and quit deifying and reifying fiction? Mortality may be scary, but that doesn't justify absurdity.

Why do theists think that the Big Bang Theory implies that "something came from NOTHING"? The singularity is theorized to have contained ALL the energy and spacetime of the Universe at infinite density, which would merely imply that "everything came from EVERYTHING".

@RickWatt9 @atheist_bad Reason and logic? Atheists believe the universe either came into existence out of nothing (which they have no evidence for and is illogical) or that the universe is eternal / infinite regress (also no evidence and illogical) or a multiverse (again, no evidence and illogical) 1/2

There are no gifts from God. There is no grace from God. There is no mercy from God. There are no miracles from God. There are no blessings from God. There is no forgiveness from God. There is no salvation from God. There is no God. Pull "God" out and unfuck your brain.

As a former Christian now atheist, even if I were able to muster BELIEF in God again, I don't think I couldn't muster the desire to WORSHIP God again, after having seen with new eyes, after my de-conversion, the truth of God's genocidal, murderous, bigoted, unjust "nature".
