An Anti-Theist's Reaction to Christianity

http://barrierbreaker.hubpages.com/hub/7...ristianity

These are just the first six on the list:

Quote:1. I am angry that little children are told that they will go to hell if they don't believe in the Bible.

2. I am angry that, according to recent studies, Atheists are more distrusted in society than rapists.

3. I am angry that churches say homosexuality is a sin, and then deny that the teaching does any damage in the face of many homosexuals who claim the opposite, through tears and suicide.

4. I am angry that people spend their lives trying to figure out "God's will," paralyzing their lives instead of striking out and embracing it.

5. I am angry that people think individuals who I know don't deserve it are going to spend eternity in hell.

6. I am angry parents teach their children that God once drowned almost everyone in the world because they thought like me.

But there are ninety-five more to read.

I agree with these six and probably the others, too.

Don't be mad! Get glad!

If they are taught that they are not being taught Christianity.

Quote:2. I am angry that, according to recent studies, Atheists are more distrusted in society than rapists.

Was there reasons given?

Quote:3. I am angry that churches say homosexuality is a sin, and then deny that the teaching does any damage in the face of many homosexuals who claim the opposite, through tears and suicide.

Just because they make the claim doesn't mean it's true, if they want to practice something unnatural they should be ready for people's opinion of them.

Quote:4. I am angry that people spend their lives trying to figure out "God's will," paralyzing their lives instead of striking out and embracing it.

I do not see myself as paralyzed nor do I know Christians who believe they are paralyzed, indeed we believe we've been set free to live live, we are not trapped by the world's binding sin.

Quote:5. I am angry that people think individuals who I know don't deserve it are going to spend eternity in hell.

What qualifications do you have to be the judge of anyone, that judgement you speak of belongs to God and God alone.

Quote:6. I am angry parents teach their children that God once drowned almost everyone in the world because they thought like me.

How do you know what those people thought. Last I checked parents have the right to teach their children what they believe to be best for the children. God's judgement is coming on this world again, this will be the final judgement.

As far as I am concerned, indoctrination of the youth is abhorrent child abuse.

Yeah, you silly theists have been saying the same thing for more than two thousand years. Go shout it from a street corner where you will be properly viewed as the mad individual you are.

You don't see what you wrote there as conflicting with what you write two minutes later:

Quote: God's judgement is coming on this world again, this will be the final judgement.

I doubt that you are really being honest with the first one. Many branches of Christianity (and almost all branches of Baptists) teach that hell awaits those who don't accept Jesus. Maybe you are nitpicking over the language used, but obviously if you don't believe in the bible you don't believe in Jesus. It's silly to have to state it but even sillier to claim that Christianity isn't teaching it.
