What Kind Of Thinking It Takes To Be A Christian Is Terrifiying.

Poor Richard.

People accuse him of being brash and crude, but he just gets frustrated at the overwhelming idiocy and contradictions of every religious debate he joins, I think he's a man who wants to believe people can be smarter then this, but is so often faced with these rambling fools and not just their stories they believe to be true, but outright denial of scientific and imperial facts.

I can accept idiocy and contradictions; it's the evil in the bible that pisses me off and people who think they have a divine right to peddle bullshit to those who would rather not hear about it.

The bible's kinda like the mafia, you could cherry pick good things the mafia has done, like give people jobs or make nice weddings for their children. But cherry picking those doesn't absolve them of the murders, torture and criminal activity they commit.

I've mentioned this before, but after leaving Mormonism I was a Christian for several years. Went to like 7 different Christian sects during that period, because we moved around. Every one taught, in their words, "the whole bible" and every one had a different slant on their gospel. Cherry picking is the norm, not the rarity. I also found out 3 of 7 pastors were either dishonest, cheating on their wives or flat out phonies.
