I haven't seen this before. I'm fairly certain you shouldn't need more than 20 reasons to abandon christianity. For me, it was just whether or not I truly accepted an innocent person being brutally killed to save me from infinite punishment for finite crimes, because of something I have no control over. If that sounds good to you, then fine. If it doesn't, you probably don't want to be a christian.

Yeah, I mean, a lot of those are ways of expressing the reason I "left" christianity:

Christianity's not true.

I'm missing "There is no God" on the list Smile

Because they will be heartbroken if they have no absurd thing to believe in that is not real.

I got bored well before I was at an age to ask that kind of question. Hell is what got me. I called bullshit on that pretty early, since either there is a good god, or there isn't. If there isn't, I wasn't interested in that fucker anyway.

I mean if there is a god he wouldn't have created hell because a all loving god excepts everyone. But.. there is no evidence for anything they know god or if god is really good because the bible is man made.
