The atheists catch 22 situation.

[Little Rik]

If as you say...........there are so many lavish claims / promises otherwise in scripture, that god, if it exists............blah, blah, blah...............then take the complain with those who write those books or the religions that say this or that.  
God never did write any books nor He started any religions.  

I guess you never thought about that mord, did you?  

Well actually I did. I don't think god wrote those ... since I don't believe in god to begin with. God did not author scripture or found religions.

However, self-styled god-followers DO make those claims and often impose them on others, so that is what I'm addressing -- the actual harm.

Of course if you disavow both the scriptures and religious tradition as a source of information about what god does or doesn't promise TO people or require OF people ... then you are left with your personal claims about what god says to you, which can be dismissed out of hand as not being useful information for anyone but yourself.

1) Actually I do not..........disavow the scriptures 100%.
Some of the scriptures may well contain some or a lot of truth.
What I am saying is that the corrupted priest in the past and in the present twisted these truth so to control the mind of the masses.
The hell is the typical dogma created by these corrupted priest just to mention one.

2) What I am left with is the fact that as I already said to brother Jack when you are ready the teacher will appear so books or not book you still get the knowledge to start your journey to the goal of life.
