On this thread, quoted in Post 52, a Christian takes a swipe at an exChristian and suggests the exChristian would have left his children with perverts to be molested when they were little, since atheists have no morals. That is the best sense I can make of the Christian's post, though I would have liked to credit him with more decency than this. The atheist responded:



To which another exChristian responds as follows:



My Response:

As I read through these posts, esp. yours Vix, life begins to make some sense. Christians simply cannot afford to think through the implications of their concepts. They say with their lips that babies are innocent and that heaven is so much better, all of which logically adds up that parents should kill their babies to save them from the ills of life and risks of getting lost to Satan's clutches.

But they stop short of doing the logical adding up. Like the rest of us, they are horrified at the outcome. And rightly so.

Where does that leave humanity? Or Christianity? Christianity needs to be rewritten and room must be made in it for real humans who make mistakes. Possibly the tyrant who relishes tossing sexual beings into an eternal BBQ could be barbecued and had for Thanksgiving for those of you who haven't had Thanksgiving yet this year. (Ours in Canada is in early October.) The superior Being who procreated him can possibly be called out of oblivion, or wherever the Gnostic teachings were put one and a half thousand years ago, and allowed to govern the universe and heavens once more.

OR we could just do without Christianity.*

But the sense I am beginning to see is that Christians reject some of us not because we ask stupid questions but because our questions push for logic where the human heart refuses to go. And most Christians conveniently disconnect their head and heart at just the right places, then reconnect them at just the right places. They do all of this to retain the cognitive dissonance required to live peacefully with the irreconcilable beliefs they profess in their religion. And, by disconnecting and reconnecting head and heart like this, they can declare (without ever knowing that they are lying) that their beliefs are absolute and objective Truth!!!

Did I hear the preacher pound the pulpit there? I think so. It really must be so.

Except that it isn't.

*The name of any religion could probably be substituted for Christianity.
