When the church becomes the hub of hate and vitriol, and demotes Jesus to a mascot representing the same, those speaking of mercy and love will be expected to apologize!

Praying is in fact asking God to fuck up his entire divine plan just for you.

Pretty selfish if you ask me.

Christian fail to realize not many of us atheist were born that way. Well, everyone was born atheist until their parents teach them their religion. What I mean is most of them fail to realize that we atheist were born into Christian homes or other religions. We already know all about the Bible. We went to church. We read the Bible. We heard the Bible read to us and the words turned several different ways for the same passages. We're smart enough to know you can't just cherry pick what sounds good, and just ignore the horrifying part. I mean there are some straight up horrifying, disgusting, vile things and acts in the Bible. If some of the words are God's words, they're all God's words even the vile disgusting ones.
They want to say we're mad at God. Or we hate God. But no we're not mad nor do we hate God. We can't hate or be mad at something that isn't real. It's like being a sane 30 year old person getting mad at Santa Claus for not bringing them what they wanted for Christmas.
They also want to call us devil worshipers. Well, we don't believe in your Sky daddy, we don't believe in your ground demon mole either.
They want to act like us atheist are horrible people. Criminals, heathens, etc. Some say we should even be killed. Most of us are good, caring, loving people wiyh morals. Noyt much different from religious people except we don't believe in God and don't need the promise of Heaven to have morals, to be good people, and do good deeds.
Myself personally, I took the good out of the Bible and left the bad and the imaginary people behind. I do charity without telling people. Without needing praise for it. A dog rescue that I work with, after a little while of working with them. The head woman and I were discussing their Facebook page and I told her that administrate three pages and that I could help with theirs. When she asked what kind of pages, I told her they were anti religion pages. She was sort of flabbergasted. She was fine with it. I think it was the whole myth that atheist are bad people/don't have morals.
It's time atheist isn't a dirty word. It's time we can say "I'm an atheist " or "I don't believe in god" without fear. Without the fear of ridicule, losing our friends, losing our families, losing our jobs, having people plan scared of us.
We are good people. Main difference is we believe in ONE less God than you do, out of the thousands.

Why is it the 'sistine chapel'? What happened to Fistine and Forstine...?

Somebody should ask Jesus why so many of his fanbois are charlatans, crooks and criminals. It's kinda trashing his brand.

When it is a question of money, everybody shares the same religion.

Why don't Catholic priest bless all the water on earth, making it all "Holy Water"?
Do blessings only travel so far? Is there a limit to how many gallons can be holerized at once?
Does "holy water" impact cooking times and flavors in recipes?

Pope Benedict is dead. The Catholic Church is evil & has been for two thousand years. President Biden is a Catholic that oversees the most egregious evils in the world & still receives communion. Tear these systems down.

I’ve been a regular contributor on this atheist group page for a long time but I’ve finally reached my breaking point. Is it just me or does anyone else here notice that every single theist troll who posts or comments on this group page is nothing more than an utter imbecile? I’ve seriously yet to read anything even approaching a cogent argument from the theists who frequent this group page. They’re all literally idiots. Ladies and gentlemen… I think we have the answer to why there is theism in humanity. Basically… and from everything I’ve read in this group page through several years… theists are comprised of the dumbest people in society. They are (generally speaking) of lesser intelligence and less capable of critical thinking. They are by far the most credulous... the most gullible… the most easily led and the most easily manipulated in society. To add to that they are also the most stubborn in society. They aren’t interested in learning anything new. They refuse to learn anything that contradicts their presuppositions and they will cling to their presuppositional beliefs with all their might not because of hard evidence but because they want to believe what they want to believe. They actually NEED to believe what they believe. It’s the “crutch” that gets them through every day of their lives and without it they can’t survive. We atheists are basically banging our heads against a wall trying to reason with them because they cannot be reasoned with. So… as the new year approaches as of January 1st I am personally resolving to stop trying to reason with theists. I’m done here on this group page. I can’t argue with these people anymore. It’s a waste of my time. I’ve done my best but I humbly bow out now and leave it up to the rest of you to “fight the good fight.” I’m 63 years old and I don’t have enough time left in my life to waste it thumbing arguments into my phone trying to reason with hopelessly stupid people. You guys can carry on without me. Cheers, and good luck.

Trumpism is a religious template:

-Hostile reactions when asked for solid evidence

-Unwavering devotion despite contradiction

-Hypocrisy

-Trust his grand plan

-Can do no wrong

-Needs your money

-Criticizing him gets you exiled from the group

-Gets credit for stuff he didn't do

RELIGION IS EVIL AND WITCHCRAFT IS NOT REAL

It was not witches who burned.
It was women.
Women who were seen as
Too beautiful
Too outspoken
Had too much water in the well (yes, seriously)
Who had a birthmark
Women who were too skilled with herbal medicine
Too loud
Too quite
Too much red in her hair
Women who had a strong nature connection
Women who danced
Women who sung
or anything else, really.
Sisters testified and turned on each other when their babies were held under ice.
Children were tortured to confess their experiences with “witches” by being fake executed in ovens.
Women were held under water and if they float, they were guilty and executed.
If they sunk and drowned they were innocent.
Women were thrown off cliffs.
Women were put in deep holes in the ground.
The start of this madness was years of famine, war between religions and lots of fear. The churches said that witches, demons and the devil did exist and women were nothing but trouble. As we see even today, there is often a scapegoat created. Everything connected to a women became feared, especially her sexuality. It became labeled as dark and dangerous and was the core of the witch trials through out the world.
Why do I write this?
Because I think the usage of words are important, especially when we are doing the work to pull these murky, repressed and forgotten about stories to the surface. Because knowing our history is important when we are building the new world. When we are doing the healing work of our lineages and as women. To give the women who were slaughtered a voice, to give them redress and a chance of peace.
It was not witches who burned.
It was women.

I always thought Friday the 13th was some superstitious bullshit, like Darth Vader and Jesus Christ. But given the way full boxes are dropping out of their bottom and handles are falling off of baskets, there might be something to it...
