Why Would God Make Atheists?

Christians often feel compelled to "believe" in the God of Christianity, and feel even more compelled to deny that God is far more evil than the devil of Christianity, even though the devil can only torture us here on earth, while God can torture us in the afterlife for all eternity.

And what's ironic is that God will torture us in the afterlife for all eternity, for not having allowed ourselves to be tortured by the bible here on earth, or even for just failing to "believe" both in God, and that that God is the "one and only, true God" (whatever that means exactly).

But all of this only leads us to wonder why God would bother making atheists in the first place.

Why bother making people that you know will not believe in you, that must figure out in the span of their lifetime - however short that may be - that God not only exists and is real, but "loves them," or they will be cast forever into an eternal furnace that makes the ovens at Auschwitz look like a tanning bed by comparison?

Basically, Christianity claims that God left the only clue people would ever need to know Him and how "holy" He really is, in the form of the Bible, which is a book that uses suffering and death to teach humanity to appreciate the value of life, in the same way Jigsaw does in the horror movie Saw.

But again, we are left to wonder "why?" What lessons could such atheists possibly learn from being created for the sole purpose of learning to "believe" in God through such horrible lessons? In fact, the thing that tends to "teach" people to believe in God, and indeed even come to worship the idea of completely depending upon God, more than anything and everything else combined, is death itself!

And the more horrific the death, like 9/11 or even that of Jesus Christ, the more we are all expected to "learn" about God, and willingly surrender our suspicions and our doubts concerning His existence, even and especially if many of his own Christian priests use that willingness to repeatedly rape our children.

 All of these horrors, from genocide to pedophilia and beyond, so the Christian would have us believe, is why God wants and needs us all to " believe" in Him, even though all of these horrors are often only possible because enough people "believe" in God.

So what exactly is the point that God is trying to make by making atheists, if it has so often only been "believers" who have committed some of the worst evils throughout history?

Why Christianity is More Unnatural Than Homosexuality

I grew up in a family that is about as homophobic as Phil Robertson and the Westboro Baptists, only they're not quite as boisterous about it; at least not in public anyway. They have also conveniently convinced themselves  that their homophobia is really just their unique Christian ability to "hate the sin, but love the sinner" (even though these very same Christians adamantly refuse to accept that people can "hate Christianity, but love the Christian").  The sexual superiority complex necessarily relied on by such Christians is, of course, blanketed beneath the lambs wool of the Christian humility of serving "God." They interpret their fear of those who are different, in other words, as simply proof of their intimate knowledge and love of God. And the only thing such Christians are more sure about than that their own personal version of "God" exists, is that such a "God" would never want people to be homosexual - no matter how ma...

Why Are Republicans Pro Life?

Most people don't realize that the Supreme Court has been in the hands of the Republican party since at least 1970! In fact, even in the landmark case of Roe v Wade that legalized abortion, SCOTUS was inhabited by 6 Republicans and 3 Democrats, and the vote was 7 to 2. One of the reasons is that the Republican Party has absolutely ZERO desire to win on the abortion issue. And that's because abortion gives the GOP a clear focal point with potentially unlimited organizing power. And it's an even simpler message to sell than religion, since we are "pro-life." (if that was true, however, they wouldn't be actively trying to repeal healthcare for up to 30 million Americans, nor would they be so pro-gun, pro-war, pro-death penalty, pro welfare cuts, pro- social security cuts, pro- drone strikes, etc). The Republican party officially became "pro-life" in 1976, thanks to Jesse Helms (R-NC). The only reason no serious challenge was brought within the pa...
