Toleration Point Zero

I used to be religious. Then I reached the age of reason. See I tried really hard to be religious, but I have... thoughts. Religion is the ultimate scam of all time when you think about it. Think about this for a second. Religion actually has people convinced , that there is an invisible man who lives in the sky. Who watches you every moment of every day and this invisible man has a list of ten things he does not want you to do. If you do any of these ten things. He will send you to a special place. A place where you will burn and be tortured for all eternity.

Also, this all powerful invisible man loves you. He loves you and he needs money. He's all knowing, all wise, all powerful, but wouldn't you know it? He just cant handle money! Religion brings in billions of dollars every year and never pays taxes. Talk about the ultimate scam.

Here's another thing, people who pray. First off, what is the point of praying? Every day billions of prayers are made, with people who want special things to happen to them. Win the lottery, get the date of your dreams, save a life, and yet when a prayer isn't answered, what is their excuse? It's God's will. Well if its gods will, and he's going to do what he wants to anyway. What's the point of praying? If God has his plan already all set up, what good is it if every person with a three dollar prayer book can come along and mess up his plan? Plus let's face it, almost all these prayers are made on the one day a week God is said to rest! Talk about your mean friends. So even if you do believe in this sham called religion, don't you think that the whole prayer thing is just a big load of bologna?

Top Ten Signs You're a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.
