By Greenworld ~ I ’m so sick and tired of arguing with religious fanatics across the Internet. Why do they resort to such deluded thinking? Here is a pre-written example of how debates usually start and end whenever I start one with a believer: Skeptic: Cancers and other diseases are terrible. Why do they even exist? Believer: It’s because of the Devil . Skeptic: And why doesn’t Yahweh know about this? Believer: He does — it’s just that He gave us free will. Skeptic: So… we can choose what kinds of diseases to acquire if we wanted to? Are you suggesting that people “choose” to acquire diseases? That doesn’t sound very logical… Believer: NO!!! You don’t get it!!! God gave us free will and Man perverted His creations by eating from the Tree of Life!!! Skeptic: OK, then how come Yahweh isn’t doing anything to prevent “The Devil” from causing diseases? Believer: AGAIN — it’s because He gave US free will! We chose to sin and this is our penalty for breaking His rules. God...

By Greenworld ~ B eing an atheist/skeptic for a few years, I have noticed many Christians complaining about atheists using profanity and sometimes wishing death on them. At first, it may seem like atheists are really cold-hearted, cruel people. And when you develop that sort of thinking you start to feel sorry for the Christians getting insulted by atheists day and night. This is a feeling of pity; Christians like to point out the actions of one atheist and assume that by definition most atheists are rude and that the Christians themselves instead are actually decent-minded people who speak in a clear voice, thanks to their humble faith and obedience to the words of Jesus Christ. However, this is nothing but a way for Christians to trick others into thinking much like they do. When you are competing against someone in an argument, you always try your best to look good and convincing while exposing your opponents’ flaws as much as possible. The way I see it, many of these Christian...

By Greenworld ~ S imply put, I just don't believe in any religious deity. I have no problem if you believe, but PLEASE be respectful of my own personal beliefs as I would be to yours. Your Bible says, "treat others the way you want to be treated." So, why don't you treat ME with respect? I am not coming down on you, telling you what to believe or what to stop believing in... Because those are YOUR beliefs. I don't live my life thinking about what happens once we die because there is so much more to life than just pondering on the unknown. You can believe ALL you want, just be TOLERANT and RESPECTFUL of MY beliefs in return. Is it that hard? Also, I will add that the more you keep telling me that I will "burn in hell for not believing in Jesus," the less respect I have for your beliefs. I am a sensitive person, so I get hurt a lot. That doesn't mean I am going to just start believing, no... However, all I am pleading is that you (kindly) leave me al...

By Greenworld ~ W hen Christians are aware of my lack of belief in their god, they feel "shocked" about it. Then they proceed to tell me that if I don't convert to Christianity, I will "burn in hell." Often, they SHOUT this drivel at me, just so I can feel "guilty." Guilty...? What am I guilty of? I didn't rape or murder anyone -- so what would I be "guilty" of in the first place? Oh, that's right: lacking a belief in Yahweh. Are you kidding me? Just for that? Why would such a "loving" god want to send me to a horrible place like "hell" once I am dead? I mean... like I said: I have never committed one blasted crime in all my earthly presence! Therefore, why would Yahweh want to put me in the same league as Ted Bundy or Charles Manson? (Then again, Ted got the chance to convert to this hideous religion before being executed, at the same time many of his fallen victims' "souls" are being roasted by ...
