I’m very upset over religion right now.
I am not religious in any way shape or form, but I was raised by a Christian dad/relatives, went to a Christian school, was Christian for 8 years, study religion, and hear worship and scripture very often— so I know what I’m talking about.
Im so sick and tired of SOME religious people online (primarily Christians) asking dumb questions about atheism.
“Why do you get offended when we say you’re going to hell? It’s just the truth.”
The short answer is that being told to burn in hell isn’t a very polite thing to say to somebody.
The long answer is that, you telling me that I’m going to burn in hell implies that (although I do not believe) you believe there is a hell to go to, meaning that you full heartedly believe that I will burn— not metaphorically, PHYSICALLY— in a fiery pit.
Idk about you, but that sounds a bit rude to me…
And the constant need to try convince people that Christians are an oppressed minority, especially in western places like America and Australia. “I feel like nobody is Christian anymore, everybody hates us!”
You cannot call yourself oppressed when you say I’m going to burn in hell and die because of the simple fact of non-belief.
free will + gods decision + god knows everything + but he doesn’t know everything + he has no control + he has control
I’ve been hot and bothered all week because on my instagram I just get constant videos of Christians going
“Atheists, although you’ve chosen the wrong path, Jesus still loves you!”
Bro I could not care less I don’t want his love, I don’t want your opinion, I don’t want to be redeemed or to be converted. I am perfectly fine being atheist. I do not care that I’m going to burn in hell, because I don’t believe it exists.
And even if I KNEW a god existed, I STILL would not worship him. This doesn’t go for just Christians, it’s for ALL Abrahamic religions. I will not devote my life and energy to worship something that allows rapists to walk freely, war and genocide and bombings to occur, and murder to go without being sent to hell because they believed in the resurrection of Jesus, let alone worship a MAN.
Imo religion, specifically abrahamic religion, is rooted in misogyny and patriarchal elements, and I do not want any part in it.
I know religion can be peaceful, but I don’t find peace in it whatsoever. I only find questions and anger and pain, and I do not care that I’m being sent to hell because I don’t believe. I don’t care that Jesus loves me.
If this seems insensitive, I’m sorry, but it is my opinion and my personal belief based on experience with religious people IRL and on the internet.
