And to Christians I say, no…
my dad was a 32 yr old creep / college professor who lied about his marriage and freaked out when he knocked up one of his students resulting in me, his divorce, and a strained relationship with every kid he “procreated”.
If we are “created”, it is by two biological beings who used bed sheets. Like Lucifer from the story book, I rebelled against my “father” for the same reason that he’s an asshole.
The difference being that my story is real (and others like it) and the Bible is a made up claim that can’t evidence it’s own claims. Yet you lot try to argue and defend an “omnipotent being” that it if it were real, wouldn’t need you to defend it’s existence.

I had a Sunday School Teacher (triple oxymoron) ask me, “Who do you think created you?”
This was in First Grade (6 years old) and I proudly said, “I was made from me dad’s little squirt inside me mom.”
Do I need to say what I suffered afterwards?

Isn’t all this Bible bullshit a laugh riot!? I could joke even more and say that I am the product of the microbiological organisms of Charles Darwin before I evolved into spermatozoa! But hey…that’s science and creationists don’t believe in that sort of thing.

They have tons of evidence of science hitting them in the face. You’d figure dinosaur fossils would have been enough to make them question their religion, but no. They just used their “god of the gaps” excuse as usual.
Every creationist and believer in the land should read David Mills’ book Atheist Universe. It completely and clearly explains why creationism is absurdely wrong and why science is correct. I recommend it to everyone and I feel it should be required reading in at least every highschool science class. I know that will never happen…but it should!
No he didn’t.and the Raelian movement can prove it.
the more you look at the popular notion of god, the more you realize they’re describing an invisible abusive parent.
i’ve always hated when people ask what i believe in the end. because i don’t want to believe, i want to know.
most people would usually force what they believe to become what is true.
example:
my mother believes that it’s normal to harm and disrespect lgbtq+ people, and because the place where i grew up in agrees with that, therefore it’s “objectively” true that lgbtq+ people should be harmed and disrespected.
note: i said “popular notion” because there is no evidence of a god, only notions and subjective experiences of what this god might be.
Yes. Or at the very least a judgy, disapproving parent looking for reasons to punish. The base assumption of authoritarian Christians is that you are “utterly depraved” and must be constantly tamped down lest you go completely off the rails. This was true of me and I’m not gay or otherwise measurably “deviant” and it was my nature as a child to be compliant rather than “rebellious”. And even I felt it. It’s toxic and universal.

I would toss in an ample supply of narcissism into the mix as well…
