So, where are all these Christians?

So what is “really sickening” about this?

The fact that Christians, along with all the other religions which believe in a personal God, can say this is “God’s will”. It’s not our fault. It’s the way God must want it. God caused me to be born into a wealthy environment, therefore God must want me to be wealthy.

It gets worse.

The very same Christians who believe in the sentiments of those last sentences, are the ones who can’t understand atheists. They are the ones who are inclined to say, “ if there is no God, no heaven, then what is the point in being good? Like, what’s in it for me?”

Can you imagine the sort of world Christians like that would create?

Oh, wait a minute; you don’t have to.

Step outside the box, for a second.

All those of us who were raised as Christians were told almost from birth that “God gave his only son”. We were told that “Jesus died for our sins”. How does that work?

As a parent, imagine for me.

Imagine a situation where you would be prepared to deliberately allow your child to have his hands and feet nailed to a wooden cross, and then left to die of slow suffocation, as his own weight, suspended from nails through his wrists, slowly crushed his lungs. In order to prove you are compassionate.

What sort of example does that create?

That it is noble to sacrifice your children to a “higher purpose”? Is this why we have had the absurdity of two “Christian” countries, both praying to the same God for victory in war, against each other?
