The Long and the Short of it.
#29
RE: The Long and the Short of it.
1. There is no evidence throughout a history full of gods that such beings ever existed.
2. The concept of god/s come from a time in human history when we understood nothing about the world we lived in, and were more inclined to supernatural hypothesis than deductive reasoning
3. Religion as a whole has caused more suffering upon mankind than any other socially accepted behavior
4. Modern religions stem from older religions, and if you look close enough, you can see the many resemblances between the dominant religions of today and their historical counterparts.
5. The entire concept is preposterous.
6. I can't imagine believing anything wholeheartedly with only word of mouth and debatable experiences backing it up.
7. People who believe tend to do so in spite of mounting evidence against them, clearly displaying the lack of objective reasoning.
8. If you know anything about history, you know that christianity isn't nearly as simple in it's conception than christians would have you believe.
9. I like to hurt people's feelings....wait
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me

"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
