That the books supposedly about a "good" god instead portray a thoroughly evil being.
That religious people have committed too much evil in the name of their deities for such a deity to exist.
That the lengths believers will go through to justify the evil their god supposedly did would win a gold medal at the mental gymnastics.
But how can that be truth you hold on to. I don't define the truth with what other people do.
What is praise? What is the value of human being and it's basis? What is your perpetual identity or are you not the same person you were once as a baby? What keeps going that makes you you? What is free-will? What is "You" and where does the "I" reside? How are your actions linked to you? Why do you appreciate or condemn others? What plan to you support for humanity and what movement do you think will make human beings the best they can be, that you will be a part of?
I'm not saying you have to answer these questions with religion or even believe in God.
But why define "the truth" with negative remarks about other people as opposed to positive realizations of yourself?
