Homeless because iam a atheist
#50
RE: Homeless because iam a atheist
The great thing about being a freethinker is that you get to use your brain. If this shelter requires you to take an oath of belief, get baptized, swear allegiance to the holy babble, I agree---too far. But if they require you to sit in a nice warm (or cool) church, learn about their beliefs a couple times a week in exchange for food and shelter, consider that a transaction. I don't enjoy paying money for things, but I make that exchange for the things I want or need. You are not giving up your beliefs, you are not being a hypocrite, and neither are they. Maybe you can learn some new things about the religion. These people are offering to do something nice for you. And you need it. They aren't to be vilified. Their 'ulterior' motive is not something they are being duplicitous about or trying to hide, they are super clear about it---they are trying to win converts.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
