Question to Former Christians

[Anomalocaris]

Careful with any assumptions you make about people who don't carE about your bible. You are very unlikely to be right about people who are several thousand years ahead of what you imagine to be your god.

[gmjackson]

I think you are assuming that I ever thought my parents to be perfect.

[Rev. Rye]

Isn't that the reason people raised in a Christian home lose their faith? Can that happen even if the parents were loving and tried to practice what they preach most of the time?

No. It's because they take the time to think about the religion they grew up in, as opposed to letting their pastor do their thinking for them.

[Gilligan]

Why did you expect your parents to be flawless, and when you discovered they were only human like everyone else and imperfect, you assumed they were phony and hypocrites, and as a result you lost confidence in Christianity and belief in God?

No

I really READ that stoopid fucking book called the Bible, then for an encore read the Torah and the Quran....talk about stories for mindless fuck wits and children!! sheesh!!

You CAN'T POSIBLY be serious!! Talk about the greatest story ever SOLD...

Careful with that kind of talk about the Bible. You might get a spooky sunvisor.

What on earth is a spooky sunvisor?

That is when a sinner gets in a fatal car wreck within a week after getting a chance to receive Christ and refusing, or rebuffing an altar call. I have heard evangelists tell those kind of accounts at revivals and camp meetings.

And what do you call it when a bus full of church fucks goes over a cliff?


( Personally I call it a good start.)

[Ace Otana]

I remember watching this program about natural disasters and crap. I watched this one where two buses loaded with religious idiots were on their way to a bible camp thing. As one of the buses reached mid-way of a very shallow river, a huge flood came and washed them away. Many survived but some died.
Then there's planes crashing despite having a huge majority on board praying to god for help.

If there is a god, I don't think he's on the christian side somehow.
Then again he doesn't appear to be on anyone's side. Probably because he doesn't exist.

Perhaps we can get all evangelical fundies to be "raptured" away in this manner.

And when you check those accounts you discover they aren't actually true. Surprise,surprise.

I too have read the bible and consider it to be a complete load of bollocks.

God(according to the bible) is a genocidal lunatic and a bully.

Those accounts of spooky sunvisors I referred to aren't from the Bible, but from evangelists at revivals and camp meetings during the last fifty years or so.
