To Evangelicals

Hardly anybody is ‘against the Christian God”. You can’t be against something that shows no signs of existing.

A lot of us are against CHRISTIANS, or at least the evangelical ones.

Look,

I grew up Catholic: I KNOW THE STORY

At fifteen, I read the entire Bible, cover to cover. My IQ is about 145, so I was reading at a full college level at that time. It’s mostly bat-shit crazy, self-contradictory, and boring as fuck. I KNOW THE STORY.

I have had Christians come at me with their conversion attempts hundreds of times (possibly thousands, by now). I KNOW THE STORY.

You want me to believe that all that stuff literally happened? I doubt that I would physically survive the amount of LSD I would have to take.

If NOTHING else, cadavers that have been dead for 36+ hours do not come back to life. That part alone is sufficient to convince anyone that it is mythological, unless they are insane.

Moreover, we don’t even really know what it is you are trying to convince us of. This is one of my favorite quotes:

“Atheism is without God. It does not assert no God. The atheist does not say that there is no God, but he says ‘I know not what you mean by God. I am without the idea of God’. The word God to me is a sound conveying no clear or distinct affirmation. I do not deny God, because I cannot deny that of which I have no conception, and the conception of which by its affirmer is so imperfect that he is unable to define it for me.”

– Charles Bradlaugh

Let’s say I tell you that you should believe in zgwortz.

“But what is zgwortz?”

“I feel zgwortz in my heart. You should believe in zgwortz, too.”

That’s how you sound to us.
