So let me properly introduce myself..

[NoMoreFaith]

A lot of us think Christianity is a boot, when it's actually a fish.

What your initial post seems to forget, is that Christianity is a boot, and a fish, and a shovel, and a fig tree, and a cross, and a temple, and a cannon, and a dog, and an iron, a ship, a car, a shoe, a top hat, a book, a new book, and an apple plus many other things.

The problem is asking the Christian what their Christianity actually means, and never get the same answer twice.

That's the part I detest the most these days, they want the protection of saying they are the worlds biggest religion, yet at the same time don't want to be associated with "those nutters who believe in talking snakes".

I wish they'd drop the term christianity, and admit they are usually different religions with a common source, so that next time someone looks at the statistics, they can see it for the group of minority religions it really is, instead of the claim of being one big happy family.

The worst evils are perpetrated by those claiming to be Christian™, Muslim™ et al on the backs of all those under the same broad tree but secretly tell yourself the other factions aren't really worshipping the true christian or muslim God.

So the issue is not for the atheist to understand christianity, because that would require an atheist to recognise each and every variety.

The real question to any variety of christian who moans that atheists "don't understand christianity", meaning THEIR form of christianity is why do they dismiss every form of every other religion without fully understanding them.

BULLSEYE!

Welcome.

Your chosen alias is very... Interesting. As is your introductory post.

Reading around a lot of people are inexperience in the faith of Christianity.

As already stated many people here are former Christians. I myself have never been religious but there was an attempt at bringing me up in a religious setting in my very early years, which I denounced immediately. I was a very headstrong child and I did not believe, but I certainly do have some experience.

In the face of a Christian on the warpath for spreading the good news, a lot of us have no leg to stand on.

I do not need a leg to stand on. I'm not 'at war' with Christians, but I will dispute any claims they make without evidence by which they can substantiate their claims. I'm not sure what else I need... I certainly do not feel threatened by texts from an old book or the ramblings of theologians.

My blog is to equip an atheist with the correct views on the world biggest faith, because when you know all the correct, unbiased facts, it's much easier to bring something down. A lot of us think Christianity is a boot, when it's actually a fish. When one actually looks into these facts, one must come up with better arguments to remain in opposition! I hope you see my point. Thanks

This concerns me... You clearly think we "atheists" have an agenda which you can help us to achieve. On what basis did you form this opinion?

I think you need to stop making assumptions.

I find your choice of alias, combined with your introductory post, arrogant and presumptuous. I do not want, nor need, your guidance.

I was a devout bible thumping Baptist, on my way to become a pastor. Thankfully, I'm not a dumbass and finally grew up.

Actualy pastor sounds like an easy job, its inside work with no heavy lifting and you only really do anything of note once a week.

Nice doggie.

Indeed,if you look closely you can see he has lovely smile.

My arse looks nothing like that. Mine looks like a dragon eating a cat.
