On the lunacy of free will

You should also be honest here and admit that you have been intentionally deceptive. First you say you are not a Christian, that you don't believe in the Christian god. You also say you are an apostate (a Catholic that has rejected Catholicism). Then you backtrack and say you didn't really give everything up, just the rituals. Then you say you believe in Karma and reincarnation. Your beliefs are all over the place and make no sense at all. I can guarantee you no Catholic or Protestant would accept anything you are saying as acceptable. And no, I'm not trying to box you in; you can believe in whatever you like, but you can't just claim to be one thing that contradicts something else and then have the balls to criticism atheists in a way that just demonstrates that you know absolutely nothing about atheism. All of this just makes you look profoundly stupid.

What I have found in my many years of Christian/atheist forum posting is that the vast majority of Christians have a very distorted sense of what an atheist is. Often they are afraid of the very idea and certainly have some fear related to talking about atheism. They simply don't have the frame of mind to understand it because all of their life they've been indoctrinated to love Christianity and fear anything else, and yes I meant to say fear anything else. Christians go to great effort to instill fear in young ones at the notion of living without god/Jesus. This is the primary way people are kept in line. They spread thick layers of love and candy and comfort all over that fear so it doesn't show, but its always there, deep down. Getting to that fear and exorcising it from your mind is the only way to get out of religion. That fear is irrational, unreasonable and completely fake. Its the boogey man in your closet when you were a kid.
