[split] Chritstianity ruined my life tbh

[Hovik]

This might shock you, but I don't believe in fairy tales.

I feel a lot better going out and being my own person than being a slave to a 2,000 year old book. I don't need any kind of god to stand on my own two feet, take air into my lung, and set my will to achieve what I can. And if I can't do it myself, I will not lie down and call it "wisdom". I will do my best to inspire those who can make the change.

I will never be so passive as to bow my head to a shadow and cast my hopes to the wind. I will never be so complacent in my life as to pray for something instead of working towards it. I will never abandon the strength that has always carried my through my life and will continue to.

EDIT: @Ace: I do try and get through. No reason not to try and if they learn anything, I've done well.

What relevance has that got to do with anything I've said? Again the arrogance of some atheists is astonishing, are you seriously trying to equate atheism with intelligence and suggest anyone of faith is unintelligent? If you are, ironically it shows how unintelligent you are! This caricatured version of Christianity that you persist in peddling is tiresome.

Grown adults believing in fairytales sure doesn't lend much credibility to their intelligence, but that's beside the point.

Exactly in what way did you draw that conclusion from her point? She never said atheism=intelligence. Lacking a sky-daddy to threaten us with punishment if we don't enact a "holy ideal" or be a cog in his "big plan," we're free to self-actualize.
