"I'm atheist for many reasons. First, let's look at Christianity. There is only 1 bible that states rules/guidelines for a good life and get into "heaven". Yet there are many denominations in Christianity that seem to only want to follow certain rules and say the rest do not apply to their denomination. Ex: the bible says to not to drink in excess to get drunk. Yet some Christian denominations say it's Ok. Now I'm not saying I'm holier than thou, because I drink all the time but I don't follow religion. So if you are breaking all these rules of the bible and lets face it we allllll do it, we judge people, covet other peoples things, etc. then how can we call ourselves true Christians. If we are all Christian then there should be only one denomination that follows just the bible and that's it.

Next, looking over at the middle east, I think taking of lives for a god is absolutely ridiculous. I think those religions along with Christianity brain wash people and gives a small group of people power over so many peoples lives. And to be able to control the lives of others on a whim especially the radicals is a dangerious weapon. These few tell millions that if they don't follow certain "rules" that they will burn in hell for eternity. And as people we fear what we fear uncertainty and then follow these rules, even to go as far as taking the lives of innocent people, because well obviously we don't want to burn in hell and reach whatever heaven they believe in. But these rules are in put in place to make life easier for those who make and implement them.

Now I will say that religion does highlight good morals and maybe that helps to prevent a certain amount of chaos, but a lot of these morals should be common sense. On the other hand, what are most wars caused over? Religion. Probably one of the biggest instigators actually. So why is something that is supposed to make people's lives so much happier cause so much destruction and chaos?

I believe that religion is for the people who need to be told what to do because they can't make life decisions themselves because they are weak mentally. So if someone is telling them what to do, that kick in the ass so to speak, they will do what they are told. People who continually to fuck up in life do to stupid decisions they've made on their own accord turn to religion to forgive them because they cannot forgive themselves.

Think about this. If I took a group of children to an Island and told them that a giant sea creature ruled the island, and If was was adament about the idea and preached it everyday, they'd believe me. Anyone told something enough times if not knowing any better will believe anything they are told and in a few generations you'd have an island full of inhabitants that believe a story that I pulled out of my ass. Who says religion isn't the same. We'll never know what happened thousands of years ago, some guy could of just written the Bible/Qur'an/Tanakh or whatever on a whim.


That's just my two cents.
