It is impossible to truly "love" someone, let alone a "God," when it is not only required that you do so by law, but if you don't you'll be tortured forever for failing to do so. 

But what kind of God - what kind of father - is so desperate for our "love" - which is a love that is only as failed and fickle as we are (just think of  the rates of divorce and infidelity) - that he makes it a law for us to do so, "with all our heart," and failure to do so will result in no less than eternal fiery tortures?

More importantly, however, is the question of why the absolute absurdity of such an idea, upon which the entire edifice of Christian "belief" necessarily rests, causes not a single Christian to reconsider their devotion to such a psychopathic "father, who art in Heaven."  

Never mind that, if God is truly as infinite and eternal as Christians claim, and we in contrast are as flawed and imperfect as Christians insist, then we have an infinitely less chance of ever understanding such a "being" than an amoeba has of ever understanding the Andromeda galaxy.

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...
