Does anybody else feel sorry for religious people?

[IanHulett]

First thing, this to everyone who posted, don't feel sorry for Christians, feel sorry for those who believe they are and in reality they are not.

That's a no true scotsman fallacy. Wish you guys would stop committing them.

Christians do not want others pity because we know the great life we have and the greater eternal life that awaits.

I pity the fool! lol Sorry, had to go there...

You're right, you Christians DO know the good life. Here's why:

Pft... you Christians claim you're persecuted. Become an Atheist so you can know REAL persecution.

Now Ian, why do you believe we are wasting our time, our money, our lives and oppressing ourselves. What proof do you have and where did you get it.

Uh, let's see... um... well,
OPPRESSION: You can't masturbate, you can't have sex until marriage, gay people, Bisexuals and Biromantic Asexuals like myself according to your cult are not allowed to marry other guys or have sex with them or else... hmm... what is the punishment... uh... OH YEAH!!! We get stoned to death! How about women? Well... they cannot speak in church, they must always submit to their husbands sexual/non-sexual needs, women are lesser human beings, cattle, property, pick one, and are denied equal rights. Oh, and did you know men need to submit to their wives too? So, me being sex repulsed, I have to ignore my feelings about sex and submit, because I don't own my own damn body. You realize how frustrating this is? Sexuality isn't the only way religious people are oppressed. There are many other ways that religious people become oppressed.

MONEY: Isn't this one obvious? Any person who knows how to THINK knows that they're wasting their money by donating during the offering.

TIME/LIVES: Uh, wow. This one is hard. It's somewhere along the lines of... well... there is no god, you have to go to church every weekend, instead of doing nice things for the hell of it, you're doing nice things and also mean things for an afterlife that hasn't even been proven to exist, this "god" hasn't literally shown himself to anybody, evangelical christians are trying to spread the wonderful news about a Gawd that nobody has demonstrated to exist just so those people can fall victim to the global scam, that which is called Christianity, you believe in a fairytale and rarely actually read your fairytale, and lastly, you're here on an atheist forum to defend your cult against a community of Atheists who know more about your cult than you do. Hmm... sounds legit...

Why would you have a girl friend that's a Christian, when you feel like she belongs to the fools club, sounds rather stupid to me.

You're right. It is stupid, and my reason is even stupider. My stupid reason for having a Christian Girlfriend is because I love her, and although I waste my time going to church every weekend, it's worth it so I can be with her. I also want her to know that I may not support the cult she's in, but I support her choice to follow it and want her to know that if she starts questioning her faith, I want to be by her side to help her and support her, and guide her in the right direction because she won't get support from other religious people. I'd want her to know that it's okay to question faith and that I will support her every step of the way.
