People ask me why I dont believe in a god.

Somedays I believe that if there were a hell I’d rather go to it than a Heaven.
I reject the idea that living in a mansion, in numb happiness, thinking of only praise as eternal bliss,
To me that just brings up the cliched phrase, “Ignorance is bliss”, I don’t want to be ignorant.
I can’t seem to come to terms with spending forever bowing down and crying with love at the feet of a god;
Of a god that’s done nothing to help me in this life.

People wonder why I say I don’t believe in a god,
When I think it’s rather obvious,
To me the God, that everyone around me so profoundly believes in, Is a dick.
How could he/she/it possible deny someone into “eternal happiness”.
(At least the devil accepts us all)
See what I’ve heard and still hear is that if this planet were to explode,
Killing us all.
Only those who repented would go to heaven.
That’s bullshit.
I’m sorry, But that’s bullshit.
You’re telling me, That God is so self centered on his own attempts to become even more big headed in that eternally growing ego,
That he would deny a good person, Who lived a great life, Doing the best they could, Because they didn’t repent.
You’re telling me, Mother Teresa would be burning in hell right now, Even if she did every good act she did, But never repented and asked for forgiveness?
I’m sorry, No I’m not. That’s something I wouldn’t want to worship.

This is the same God that rewarded a man for offering his very own virgin daughters to a hungry horny mob, To do with what they pleased,
To protect angels (Let me stress that again, Angels. I’m pretty sure Angels can take care of themself) that looked like men. The same God that later burned that city because one man on his own (In a BIG ASS CITY by himself), Couldn’t find a righteous person.
To me that just sounds like suppression of women and stacking odds in favor of having a field day with destructive supernatural powers.
I believe the best part of the Sodom and Gomorrah story is that , Lots wife was completely fucked. Doing absolutely nothing wrong, Except turning and looking back and then she got fucked, But lot, Mind you was spared. The same lot that, Had sex with his daughters a couple chapters later.
Huh.
Bullshit.
You’re telling me God destroyed an entire town because they “might” have had open homosexual relationships, Fucked a woman by turning her into salt because she looked back, But rewarded the man who offered his virgin daughters to the horny mob, And then later slept with them.

Okay. That makes sense.

See when I apply rationality and reason to these stories, I can’t believe in it. Like lets just look at one more story. The Abraham and Issac story.
What kind of fucked up god, Tells one of his best devotees to burn his son in sacrifice. Then right when Abraham is about to do it, goes “Just kidding! It was a test silly!”. What. I did shit like in the third grade to fuck with people, And you’re telling me GOD. A God. Did it too.

Right.

    Oh Matt, we can have and should on bubble mail such lengthy theological discussions. I thought the same thing. In my twenties, I used to think I don’t care if I go to hell, who cares, cause I feel like I’m in hell anyway. So who cares if you want to send me there. I can identify. Really, Matt I do.
    I didn’t get the stories in the bible either. Lot does sound like a prick, you’re right. From what I hear of him. It didn’t make sense to me that the wife of Lot should turn into a pillar of salt either.
    But there is so much more to God, even if we suffer our whole lives. I will bubble you later. I have so much more to comment.
    Great piece to open up for dialogue and in-depth discussion. This just proves to me what an intelligent and great mind you have. You are a great person. More later. Keep the faith, Matt. Surviving is so important. Matty
