Hello
December 27, 2014 at 10:19 pm
Well my de conversion story is nothing too fancy, to be honest I never did put too much stock in what I was indoctrinated with (Christianity) so I didn't really de convert from Christianity, but rather I converted from an Atheist to an outspoken Atheist. Everyone else in my family is religious, with my grandmother and mom probably being the most religious. I was forced as a kid to go to church 3-4 times a week, which really started to wear on me since most of those days were during the weekend. In my teen years I started to rebel against my family and communities religious nonsense, I'm not sure if it was the hormones or my increased understanding of the world and what religion was doing, probably both. The back lash from the crazies made me miserable, but readily available weed and good ol punk rock got me through it. I experimented with Islam for a time, roughly 8 months, but then I realized that Islam is just Christianity 2.0 and that Muslims believe the same line of crazy as Christians do. As of right now I'm what people would call a militant Atheist, I don't carry guns and bombs around (atleast not on camera) but I do make videos exposing the stupidity and hypocrisy of the religious in the hope that my efforts combined with so many others can end religious nonsense once and for all.

It's only natural that a member of the thought police be the first one to greet you, Outlaw.

Welcome Smile
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Don't shoot at the theists you run into around here. Most of them are harmless in the way that the mentally defective usually are harmless. Do feel free to pound them figuratively, though.

Welcome.

Please don't scare away what very little theistic entertainment there is around here.

You wont see me around much as I'm on an extended mod vacay for health reasons, but, seeing as how it's the holidays and all, Welcome Smile
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
