So, God creates mankind. With "free will." Then, when man chooses to not follow any religion (using free will), God gets mad. God "created" places called heaven and hell and we end up in either place, depending on if we pick the "right" religion and jump through all of its hoops or not. Either God (the Abrahamic version) is a dunce, or he is a petulant tyrant.
That's the gist of Christianity. And I would much rather go on believing that desperate fools invented the Bible than considering it being the "word of a god." The people who put together the Bible had no conception of science and how to better explain the origin of man.
Interesting to note, is if you look into the history of how the Christian church handled Darwin's theory of evolution, you will see that before that, Genesis was taught as literal truth. (that's a fact) Then, the TOE came on the scene, and oops. The Church started teaching (slowly and gradually over time) that believers don't need to take Genesis as literal.
The Word of God changed over one dude's "theory?"
Meanwhile, fundies still believe it to be literal and don't "believe" in the TOE. Lol Religion at its best.
I'm done with believing that I'm a horrible person "unworthy" of an imagined place called heaven. If only I do this or that, however...God will forgive me.
And atheists are considered arrogant by theists?
lol
