I have two really good reasons to reject Christianity.
1. The God portrayed in the Old Testament is far too ignorant and stupid to be a supposedly all-wise all-benevolent being.
So that story can't be true. That actually eliminated the need to speak to my second reason but I'll speak to it anyway.
2. Any supposed "God" who would have his son nailed to a pole as an example of "love" for humans would even be far sicker than the God of the Old Testament.
So it only gets worse when it becomes "Christianity"
Do I believe in "Jesus"?
Sure. I believe that some guy called the pharisees hypocrites (just as the New Testament claims), and that he renounced the ignorant immoral teachings of the Old Testament (just as the New Testament claims), and that he was crucified for voicing these opinions (just as the New Testament claims).
Other than that, he was probably a Jewish pantheist trying to teach the far better moral values of Mahayana Buddhism. Much of the moral parables and teachings that are associated with him date back to early teachings of Buddhism. The man called "Jesus" had absolutely nothing new to offer in terms of moral teachings, or anything else. He might have been a "nice guy" but that's about it. And he most certainly couldn't have been the "sacrificial lamb of God" sent to be nailed to a pole to pay for the sins of mankind. That very idea is dumber than dirt.
You'd have to believe that our creator is cruder and stupider than moron to believe that.
That's my honest opinion.
Sorry if anyone is offended by that. But seriously, to ask me to believe in that nonsense is basically asking me to believe that a supposedly "all-wise" God is actually dumber than rocks, and ten times more ignorant than a barroom drunkard.
It's a stupid religion. Period amen.
If there exists a spiritual essence to life, let's all hope and "pray" that whoever, or whatever, is responsible for it is nowhere near as stupid and ignorant as the ancient Hebrew authors imagined their male-chauvinistic ignorant God to be.
In many ways even Zeus was a "nicer" God.
