THEY SUPPRESS THE TRUTH IN UNRIGHTEOUSNESS
Seems like a lot of echo chamber indoctrintion to me. Also seems that they just haven’t been taught critical thinking.
I don't ever recall being told "There is no God" as a child.. But I had the good sense to grow out of believing in fairy tales when I was about 9.
What happened with you RR?

Indeed, my parents never even mentioned god or religion to me, ever. My school loosely attempted to indoctrinate me into Christianity at the age of 5, and failed. My critical thinking was already too good to be fooled.
I also can’t state enough: I don’t give a shit about "god", even if it’s real. I’m not looking for things to worship or take orders from.

I don't think anyone would want to waste their precious time worshiping praying, or pretending to be a good little Christian if they were not so fearful and brainwashed.
Any God worth it's salt wouldn't need scare tactics.

Because they are so good at showing up Chad Wooter's galaxy of fallacies.

Of course the only man with more fallacies and lies than Wooters is Steve, who, if he told you it was raining, you'd have to stick your head out the window.

Satire fail.
This is exactly what atheists say about theists, which is I assume what you were trying to emulate.
But it doesn't work when you just switch atheists/Atheism for theists/Theism.
The only way this could work as satire is if an atheist wrote it to point out how weak the theist position is. Because it's a ludicrous thing to say and absolutely everything about it is incorrect.

It's interesting that I've asked this question of Christian proselytizers more times than I can remember over the past four decades: "If everything that you claim about God and Christianity is so true and so convincing, why do you have to back it up with a threat?" In all that time, I have yet to receive an answer, with the exception of the occasional denial that, "You're going to Hell!" is a threat.

Once you’ve threatened someone with torture, you’ve pretty much played all your cards. Or rather, you’ve thrown them all on the table angrily.
It is really sad to me how such blatant threats have become socially acceptable. Mind you, they wouldn’t be in England. You’d be considered seriously fucked up if you started saying that to people here.

The religion you believe in I find not only to be unbelievable but also very very silly. I find it difficult to understand how modern humans can look at the claims with anything other than a snigger.

True. If you start coming out with that shit in the UK people will be wary of you in much the same way that they are wary of someone publicly shouting at the voices in their head.
