I used to believe in that bullshit. Not anymore, & especially
not the cruel, "Christian" God from the Bible.
When I was in my mid-30's, I started having doubts & started feeling uneasy about going to church. Then about three years later, I started doing research about
- The Bible,
- Christianity,
- Religion in general,
- Religion's awful past history of violence of wars, genocide, etc. & physically abusing, molesting & raping children,
- Learning & studying about the Big Bang, Science & Evolution,
All of these have contributed to me despising Christianity, churches & religion entirely. I wasn't even a strong Christian in the first place. The Bible, Quran, religion, churches, are entirely manipulative. They don't want anyone to develop critical thinking or be open-minded. Since then, I stopped with the following:
- Praying before I eat meals,
- Stopped reading the Bible,
- Stopped attending churches,
- Stopped listening to Christian &/or Gospel music (which is emotionally manipulative in itself), &
- Refused to take part in Bible Studies in which my mother & aunt does whenever my 1st cousin & her husband has it every Tuesday night.
Also, the Bible, Quran, God, Satan, Heaven, Hell, Sin, Angels, Demons, Souls/Spirits, etc.? They're man-made concepts & copouts designed by men to indoctrinate, control & manipulate children & gullible people. They're all imaginary, fantasy, fiction. They're as real as Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny & the Tooth Fairy are.
The reasons that church & youth leaders & televangelists do this, is to have their congregations stay inside of their churches or wherever so that church leaders, etc. can continue to grift their congregations of their money in order to continue to fund their lavish lifestyles,
especially megachurches & televangelists. Churches are nothing more than businesses. Church leaders, youth leaders & televangelists don't give a damn about anyone but two things: Children & money.
Technically, biologically & scientifically, we're
all animals in whom we had originated from Africa 300,000 years ago, before we've migrated onto other countries. That's how we all came to be. Google either "Human Evolution," "Homo Sapiens" or "Where did humans come from?".
And what happens to animals when they die? They cease to exist. And since
all of us human beings are animals as well, the same will happen to all of us, too. We are
all made of atoms, cells, energy, molecules, etc. We never had consciousness, etc. before we were all born, & we won't have them after we die. As much as I like to believe in reincarnation &/or rebirth, most signs are pointing to what I'm saying.
That is why everyone here on this planet must live their lives to the fullest, like it's your last day, & not let anyone control & manipulate you with such BS.
