"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?
#34
RE: "The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..." should we be grateful?
Christianity and Islam are both offensive. Christianity teaches there is something wrong with me, something I need to seek redemption for, just for being born a human. And it usually teaches that because I don't believe in it (which is not even a choice I can make) I will miss out on amazing stuff, and even be punished.

Islam teaches I'm going to be burned in hell for simply not submitting to an undemonstrated being.

These are both highly offensive, and I could take issue with anyone who is part of either religion. But luckily I don't take any of it the slightest bit seriously, and I know people have simply been brainwashed by propaganda.

There is however nothing I could ever do or say to any religious theist that could come close to how offensive those views actually are.

It's kind of ironic, I just realized... Religious people want their beliefs to be taken seriously. But if I did take them seriously, then I'd be extremely offended by them, and would have to consider what it says about them as a person that they would hold such beliefs.
Feel free to send me a private message.
