Glad I'm on this side, honestly, every day I see more and more reasons why faith is such a cancer on this world and why questioning everything is so much more satisfying.
Its not unusual that well over 90% of astro physicists are atheist or agnostics... The ones that understand the universe we live in to such an incredible degree have such an easy time to dismiss religion, and maybe a bit less a diety... I mean honestly all of the current religions subscribed to by believers like Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Mormonism, etc is so laughable and obviously the creation of a male dominated ignorant ancient society that its so tough to listen to people take this shi%t seriously.
Sorry, with Hitchens dying today I felt a need to be extra militant  |
This is a pretty unfair statement considering there are many organizations around the world dedicated to helping people in need, that were started by people of faith.
The Mustard Seed which provides shelter for homeless people and helps them find employment and become self-sufficient again, was started by a Christian. The Salvation Army, Samaritan's Purse, World Vision, Habitat for Humanity, ....(there are tons more that could be listed), are all Christian organizations that try to help people and make the world a better place to live in.
It seems like bashing Christians is the "cool" thing to do on CP, and everyone is so focused on the negatives that they forget all the good and positive contributions made by people of faith.
