I picked out the same verse as Pyrrho without realizing it, but here it is anyway:
I doubt one is probably true; they’re all stories made up by man. They all sound like bullshit, and there’s no halfway decent reason to believe in any of them. Humans invented a nice afterlife, because they can’t handle the thought of them dying. They invented the horrible afterlife to keep the masses in line.
Just a general thought.. do you think any of the miracles in the koran are true? Do you believe in the gods of hinduism? I'm sure you answered, NO. Why? Because you weren't raised that way. When you see these you can't help but shake your head or laugh. You have been so indoctrinated that you may believe that people have lived to 900+ years old, snakes and donkeys can talk, a man walked on water, a man turned water into wine, and god needed to have a son in order to forgive people that he supposedly created in the first place, knowing how they would turn out. If you can completely wipe your brain clean, and truly look at the stories of the bible, you should be able to get yourself to the point of laughter. It should be hilarious to you that people can actually believe such fucking moronic stories on no evidence whatsoever (except that they're written in a book.. which is not evidence). There are many things written in books that aren't true. It's a good start that you're at least willing to listen to opposing views because you have some doubts. It sounds like you even went further and are saying that you fear god, or even still believe because of fear. That's what religion was designed to do. It's supposed to make you feel guilty over your natural sexual instincts, and it's designed to make you fear consequences of such victimless crimes. Do you think god actually condones slavery and misogyny like it says in the bible? Ask yourself questions like that, and you should find that none of it makes sense, if your mind is open enough. It may take awhile because of the fear you have, but try not to worry, it's totally man-made poisonous dogshit.
Also, you shouldn't be looking for reasons to just give up your religion. You should be looking at it objectively and skeptically, like all things, and deciding from there. My goal isn't to de-convert people that want to be de-converted, but to try to get people to actually learn to think for themselves, and not let others do it for them.. especially through the means of idiotic primitive stories that are meant to instill fear in order to keep people believing in them.
Quote:The world is filled with thousands of religions and beliefs (roughly 4,200, if google is correct), one of which is probably true. Most of these have some idea of what the afterlife is.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
