OK,

I don't get into heavy dialogue usually but I'm going to here, so anybody, Christian or not that is easily offended you have been warned....... If not read on...




Firstly let me say this isn't merely directed at Christians. If you follow a faith (A term to describe something you choose to believe in without any fact or evidence of it's existence) then this bit is for you.. I will however use Christianity as a prime example as it's so very popular, especially in the USA.

I could follow a faith that said flying pink elephants dressed in amber's pyjamas used to rule the earth but an intelligent person would laugh at my claims wouldn't they?.. Where's the evidence?

What evidence do you have to support your claims?

The Shroud Of Turin was carbon dated and found to be a fake but this is not heavily broadcast. Did you, or anybody you know personally know Jesus Christ? Are there any original documents relating to this person? The Bible? Who wrote it? Nobody seems to know...It's only 2000 years ago so surely there must be something? No? Even the Egyptians from upto 3000 years earlier, 5000 years ago, are well documented....

This next bit is at Christianity however.. Jesus Christ? All that is known is this guy was a son of a carpenter it seems. Hebrew? Well some say so, the Aramaic language supposedly used by Jesus and his desciples is on the verge of extinction.. The only people that still utter the same words are the Assyrians of Iraq.. Oh yes Iraq, that little country full of oil that Christian Bush would like a slice of... Funny world isn't it..

In my humble opinion all "faiths" are put in place to control the mass populations of this world and to direct them into war when another faith hinders their way of life.. Individual thought is not nurtured. To actually stop and think, well hang on, I believe in this, but that has happened
and this says that can't happen...

I'm not questioning life after death or anything of the such, I just find it hard to comprehend how people can take such a narrow view of life with their faiths. How dare someone judge another human being by their religon or lack of it? Muslims call Christians, Christians call Muslims, everybody has a go at the Catholics.. I mean what the f**k is going on with the world? There is no "right" religon, you are born, you live, you die. If there is an afterlife it's a bonus. Don't help somebody or hinder somebody in life because of their choices in religon. Do it because they are a person that needs help. Otherwise we will all drown in our own bull****.

Humans existed before Christianity, before Islam, whatever... Give it long enough, a few thousands years, maybe just a few hundred and these religions will be an out of date concept... Keep an open mind, even if you follow a faith, don't believe in everything you are told, because the people telling you often have more to gain than you do.

Thanks for reading, I hope you take something positive from it... Otherwise feel free to attack me below....
