Why I Am Not a Christian

Yes, at one point, I was a Christian…back before I knew how to think…

Why am I not a Christian now? It's very simple…Christianity is a slave religion! “Thou shalt” and “Thou shall not”? How mindless are you, when you follow a book of lies?

When you believe that a book such as the bible was inspired by some tyrant god that has been long dead?

Do you know how to use your rational thinking abilities? Take that oh so holy book out…really read it. Pay attention.

There are quite a few inconsistencies…Take this one for an example…The bible condemns incest. This can be found in Leviticus, chapter 18, verses 6-15. Well, answer me this…How did all the people on the planet (up until the time of the flood) come about?

Did they just fall out of thin air? I don't think so! Here's the simple version: Adam + Eve = Cain, Adam + Eve = Abel Okay…Soon after the murder of Abel, Cain left the Garden of Eden for a land east, which was known as Nod. I quote, “Then Cain went away from the presence of the Lord and settled in the land of Nod, east of Eden. Cain knew his wife and she conceived and bore Enoch.” In case you'd like to check my quote, it can be found in Genesis, Chapter 4, verses 16 and 17.

Here's the inconsistency. Where in the hell did Cain's wife come from?

The only people mentioned up to that point are Adam, Eve, Cain, and Abel. That must mean that he had a sister that isn't mentioned. Well, boys and girls…we're left with one possible way to go. Cain must have been “involved with a sister that doesn't get any publicity.

There is no excuse, it cannot be explained away… Now, isn't incest condemned in Leviticus? Well, tell me, what is it called when you have sex with a relative?

Now, again, why am I not a Christian? Thoughts on religion (or a lecture on self-deception) Faith, Faith, Faith…Oh, fuck it….What is faith?

Faith is a thing for people who can't cope with their lives so they run from it, into a world of bullshit…I'm not denying the existence of the unseen or spiritual…I do not have faith in these things.

I know that they exist. I have experienced them myself, so there is no need for faith. Faith in God? Oh, don't get me started…how many times, in my youth, was I on my knees, praying earnestly to such a silly idea?

How many times did I receive an answer? That's right. Not one fucking time. Have faith in nothing. Have Ideas. Faith is the enemy of rational thought, and rational thought is what has kept us alive this whole time…rational thought is what has caused advancement. Faith says “just believe”. Rational thought says “Question. Seek the truth.”
