Hello!
December 12, 2015 at 9:31 am
A new member, an agnostic atheist.  I was a baptized, confirmed Catholic, but I have since lost and renounced my faith.  I think that Catholicism is just man-made, and that many of its so-called "miracles" are frauds, the product of corrupt churchmen who want to get money & power.  That's my story, "short & sweet"!

Delighted to be here!!

Good morning and Welcome!

That's all I got till the coffee kicks in.

Welcome! How long ago did you make your transition from religion to agnostic-atheist? What precipitated it?

Welcome! Smile
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.

Hello!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
