Let me tell you a little story.

Once upon a time, my mother told me how she came to be an atheist: when she was a child, the priest in her church told the congregation that anyone who wasn't a Christian was going to Hell. "That meant my father was going to Hell," she told me. "And I KNEW that couldn't be true, because he was the best man I knew."

My mother raised four children. All have advanced degrees, all are productive citizens. She founded two environmental activist organizations, traveled around the world, and was beloved my many on three continents until she died at the age of 76. She was out riding her bicycle when a woman in an SUV barreled through a stop sign and slammed into her and killed her.

How do I know the Christians are wrong? Same way Mom did.

why does God abandon us?
let's put it this way, up to this point I have been very religious in my life. Always had faith in God, always thought that he'd at least give a sh!t about giving a shyt about me. but nothing. And now, you know what, i am done with religion. I am probably going to to to hell but u kn what I will go with a smile on my face and at least know that I am not responsible for causing misery to millions of people and never listening to any prayers. God, Jesus, mohammed, Allah, ... w.e you believe in; they may exist and they probably do but one fact is constant they have screwed over millions of people and are NOT just. I can't believe it took me 20 years to realize this basic simple concept.

Or maybe they do it while I'm working, I don't know. But I've lived in several cities and in two different states, no JWs.

I hear people talk about getting door-knocked by the JWs all the time --- but this has never happened to me. What about you? Have you had a lot of JWs knock on your door?

WHen a Christian or other religious group or person tries to convince anyone of their beliefs and view points people get angry and say things like stop trying to convert me! Or Stop pushing your views down my throat!

But if a non believer tries to convince a religious person that they are wrong and to take on their beliefs instead its never considered the same thing. Why? Its clearly the exact same thing just different sides of the debate.

BTW: before any religious people or atheists start getting angry for no reason saying I DONT DO THAT! Fine but some on both sides do!

Me personally I have way too much fun celebrating. I cant live without celebrating all these holidays and plus the meetings every week would probably be too much. And plus I wouldnt want to be pressured to spread the word of god by going to people's homes. The real reason I never participate in selling stuff door to door is cause I just dont feel like going somewhere knowing they wont even bother listening and then come to the conclusion that Im right.

How about you guys? Are you too happy with your religion or lackthereof? Or just what are your reasons?

Jehovah's Witnesses abhor suicide, viewing it as a sin. If you commit suicide they will not give you a funeral service in their church/Kingdom Hall because they feel that would be highly improper. I know this because when I was a JW I saw what happened when a fellow JW killed herself.
Yet if you kill yourself by refusing a blood transfusion, you are seen as a martyr. They pray about you, they put pictures of you in their magazines.
And if you want to know why I'm angry, its because I can still remember the faces of the little children in the magazines - the little children whose parents had refused to allow them blood transfusions. I was told that these little children 'made Jehovah proud' and he loved them for dying to keep his commandments.
Where's the logic in this?

As a Catholic, I've had people tell me what I believe or what my Church teaches. Yet, none of the things would be even remotely close to what we believe at all.

I'm sure this happens with people of other religions as well. It amazes me how uneducated people can talk as if they were experts.

I mean...come on. Not only are these people blatantly lying and spreding stereotypes, but they clearly don't have a clue what they're talking about. It's lovely that because I wear black they say that I am a Satanist, a rapist, a murderer, freak, lunatic, racist, etc. Us "goth" looking people are for the most part friendly, accepting, and kind...we don't conform the stereotypes that this site promotes. I mean, since when does dress denote who a person is on the inside?

I'm not sure what to think-- is this a joke site, or are they serious? If they are serious, I'm torn between being sad that people can be so full of hate, and laughing because they look so ignorant. I'm sorry, but if a deity exists I truly hope that He or She is looking at people for who they are on the inside and looking at their deeds while alive-- not at how beautiful they appear to the rest of the world on the outside.

What do you guys think? Joke site, or nuts on the loose?
