I'm Shadowninjax from Nepal. I am 21 and glad to be part of this wonderful forum. Nepal is mostly a hindu country. With hinduism as the major religion.
Hinduism is all fantasy with gods with million hands and heads and what not. I believe it to be a total B.S. I believe they are still continuing it just because the majority still believes in it in our country, and its deeply rooted in the society.
But for me I was raised in a christian family who converted from hinduism to christianity when I was just a year old or so.
Since then, I'v been forced into believing in God. I really didn't like the idea of being forced to go to church every sunday or so. Nor did I really believe in Bible. I was a christian by religion, but I always doubted the practices and beliefs.
After living in a christian community for almost 21 years. I have concluded that christians aren't themselves holy or so. They make others believe they live a holy life, but I have encountered many Pastors being unfaithful. Also many christians are in church simply because they are provided with financial support from other big countries. Christians I have found, are mostly more selfish and greedy than normal people. What an irony that is.
Christianity itself is a mess as I have found all these years. Jesus was a good man, but that's all. We don't know even if he existed. There is no proof.
I have decided that the way to no God, i.e Atheism, is best for me. So, lately I have been looking around on making atheist friends.
I also joined this form, so I could talk to fellow atheists and learn how to defend against religious beliefs. I hope i can learn a lot from fellow atheists here.
See you around guys, and no offence to religious folks here, the above is my own conclusion and beliefs. It shall not keep you from being friends with me. I am open to all people, as long as you follow George Carlin's rule " Keep thy religion to yourself". And we'll tag along just fine.
No, he was not, first off, there is no evidence he even existed. All claims made about that were way after the fact. Secondly, you can find quotes where he demands you abandon your own family if they don't kiss his ass. and "Think not I bring peace, I bring not peace but a sword".
Not to mention that his character is based on a head character "God" who is an asshole genocidal prick in the OT. So attempting to make Part Two, of this horror movie excuses the first episode? Then look at revelations, God goes back to beating the shit out of everyone again.
Claiming Jesus to be the "good cop" in the plot of the bible does not mean the boss isn't an evil prick paying his minion to act like a puppet.
But all moral issues aside, there was never a virgin birth or Zombie god surviving rigor mortis. "Jesus said some nice things", Mickey mouse says some nice things too.

Just chiming in to acknowledge my idiocy in my previous post. I wrote "Tibet" instead of Nepal and it's too late to edit it. Sorry, shadowninjax, I had a brain fart.

Believe me, the problems with Christianity go much deeper than a few hypocrites.
Welcome! It's a pleasure to greet someone from Tibet who can quote the late, great George Carlin. Have fun.
Indeed, it goes deep to its roots. Yes, I saw George Carlin's eye opening messages on youtube. Then I instantly became his fan. Too bad we lost a great man. RIP Carlin

Yes, I don't believe the junk either. I just tried to be a bit forgiving to the Christians. Apparently, Athiests rule here, so I don't give no sh*t now.

Haha, thanks for the realization even if its too late lol. Tibet (part of China now) is immediately North to Nepal. So I can see why you got a bit confused.
