And here's an article on your god and how he and your precious bible is dangerous to children.
Quote:Christianity teaches children that they are intrinsically evil; they did nothing wrong, but just by being born and being alive, they are evil. This is a terrible thing to teach children, not only because it is false, but because it is the exact wrong message children should be taught, which is that they are intrinsically wonderful, noble, and lovable, and that they have boundless goodness inside them.
Christianity teaches children that there exists a powerful, evil Devil. A most dangerous demon. Beware! This horrible falsity infuses their childhood with needless fear and dread, and teaches them that the world is a dangerous place, with a malevolent demon lurking in the wait. In my own research, I’ve interviewed many adults who describe the whole Satan thing as a decidedly traumatic element of their children, and in some egregious cases, unambiguously abusive.
Christianity teaches children that God killed his own child to make up for our wickedness. In other words, we are evil, and by killing his own child, our evil is somehow wiped away and forgiven. Our guilt is cleansed. But how does that work? If I abuse my wife, and then a cop comes over and kills my son, does that atone for the wickedness I committed against my wife? How so? Only I can atone for my own wrongdoings and harmful actions. If I abuse my wife, I need to make amends in order to earn her forgiveness. I can’t kill our cat instead. And besides, why couldn’t God forgive us without killing his son? Does he require a blood sacrifice, like some pagan ogre? The entire story of Jesus “dying for our sins” makes no moral or ethical sense, and it is an extremely confusing/disturbing tale to tell our children.
Christianity teaches children that those who accept Jesus as their personal savior are good/saved/going to heaven and those that do not accept Jesus as their personal savior are sinful and destined for hell. This can cause children to feel smug, superior, self-righteous, judgmental, and to look down upon and condemn others – be they kids on the schoolyard, neighbors, or even relatives.
There are more examples in the article.

Christians are persecuted as well. I think the suicide problem is more prominent in atheists mainly due to lack of hope and due to despair.
Really? Name one group of christians, living in today's society, more specifically, in the United States, where christians are being persecuted.

I doubt that god looks down kindly on that.
I have not done that on this site. I just warned that non-believers are going to have to face judgment day as stated in Scripture. Not sure if Annihilationism is true or eternal torment but it is worth thinking about if your an atheist in the face of all the scientific proof and evidence of design.
Who the hell are you to warn anyone of anything? You don't have all-knowing powers so you can't say with any degree of certainty that there will even be a judgment day at all. Just because your bible says there will be a second coming of christ, doesn't make it true.
Furthermore you still have yet to demonstrate any sort of scientific proof of your opinion on design.

You mean indoctrinated. Again, I say that if you were born in the middle east, you would have been indoctrinated to believe in Islam.
