This post is for the simplistic minds out there that believe in one omnipotent god (intentionally left lowercase). How can you believe such a being exists? What proof do you offer other than the bible…? Which is written by man by the way, thus making it fallible in my opinion. The point is that I cannot believe what most of American has grown up to believe. That there is an almighty god that loves us and wants us to live our lives right to gain entry into heaven. Seriously? We are put here to work and struggle, be victims of heinous crimes and tragedy, endure physical and emotional pain just so that we can be granted worthy and allowed into the gates of heaven where eternal happiness awaits us? Even if there were true, it sounds like a sick game for a bored god to me. Seriously?
Now I’m certainly no expert in theology or the bible for that matter, but I know what everyone else knows from where they are brainwashed to believe when they are growing up. Its the same concept as the easter bunny and santa clause. We are born into circumstances and are mostly victim to it. Only a chosen few are born into circumstances that benefit them through out life. But back to being born… born into beliefs that are passed down to you because they were passed down to them from their parents and so on.. When are people going to think for themselves and make decisions based on the perception of their own realities rather than what they were taught to believe? Let me explain why I am a non believer. People suck. For the most part, I’ll say most people are in it for themselves and they especially suck. What? You don’t believe me or disagree? I don’t care. I follow world events. I follow the news. Sure, there are a lot of good people out there. I happen to think I am one of them. I care when something bad happens to a child or animal. I care when something bad happens to an elderly person or handicapped person. Not that I don’t care what happens to you cause you are young and healthy and can take care of yourself. I do. I just have more compassion for those with a disadvantage in life. Children and animals especially. Both rely on people to do the right thing and provide the caring, nurturing environment for them. How many times has that trust been betrayed? What is more innocent in this world than a child or animal that has never even committed a sin nor had a chance to and they are treated so violently? Let me guess… it was the devil!! Seriously? The devil is just as fake as your god.
Here is another reason. I consider myself a good person. I’ve never murdered anyone or cause ill harm towards my fellow man. I’m not perfect by any means, but that mean I should burn in the pit of fire? I live life the best I can. I do it without hurting anyone else. I even do what I can to help in society by volunteering my time to help animals. So am I to go to hell the same as the rapist and the murderer because I don’t live by the rules of the bible? I’m sure you bible thumpers are just grinning ear to ear thinking “yep, you’re going to hell”. Know what? I’m not asshole, cause it doesn’t exists. Now I’m smiling.
I could go on and on. I really could. Fact is, I am not going to change your mind if you are a believer any more than you are going to change my mind to believe. It is what it is and true satisfaction will come in death, where there is nothing. Now I am sorry if this seems mean or hateful in anyway but I’m mad after having just watched a PETA video of people horrendously torturing downed animals. People suck. Not all, but most. For those of you out there that care… Have a nice day
