The Problem of Evil

"Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? then is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? whence then is evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"
--Epicurus

The followers are narrow-minded bigots

Ok, not all, but where you find a narrow minded bigot you'll find a Christian. What happened to 'love thy neighbour' and all that shit?

Because Christians Annoy/Anger Me

I don't have a problem with Christianity, it's Christians that bother me. The percentage of them that are nothing close to Actual Christians bothers me too much to adhere to the faith myself.

What about all that snake handling and creation museums? Those might be exciting.

So far on this webpage the biggest religious arguments I've been involved in are over the historicity of Jesus and the countering what I believe to be very bad arguments from design. If you are referring to my atheist activism elsewhere, it's because I care. Besides Atheism is not Anti-God, it's anti theists.

While I could rant all day about my views concerning atheist activism, let's ask Col Robert Green Ingersoll:

"In short, every virtue has been a crime, and every crime a virtue. The church has burned honesty and rewarded hypocrisy. And all this, because it was commanded by a book — a book that men had been taught implicitly to believe, long before they knew one word that was in it. They had been taught that to doubt the truth of this book — to examine it, even — was a crime of such enormity that it could not be forgiven, either in this world or in the next."

"Heaven was the reward for belief and hell the destination of the denier. All the forces of what we call society, were directed against investigation. Every avenue to the mind was closed. On all the highways of thought, Christians placed posts and boards, and on the boards were the words "No Thoroughfare," "No Crossing." The windows of the soul were darkened -- the doors were barred. Light was regarded as the enemy of mankind."

Whoops, already too long.

My favourite quote ever:
"I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
- Sir S. H. Roberts

I like this topic. Just not enough to renounce my religion long enough to vote on it. I'm sure you understand.
