It has always struck me that it is better to believe in no god than to believe in a false God ...
It never seems to occur to the religious among theists that the the division of religion right down to individual beliefs actually
PROVES that
AT LEAST most of them
MUST logically be wrong if there is but
one truth of God ...
Not only that, but Jesus promised
all truth to all his followers [John 16:13] and knowledge of the future ... it is obvious that almost all Christians then , divided not having all truth ,... well deduce it yourself...
Check with scripture and one finds no denomination of Christanity follows every word of God as they claim they do ... check out Judaism against the Tanakh [or OT] and it just doesn't measuer up either ...
If one cannot do better than religion then atheism seems the obvious alternative ... religion thus give God a bad name ...
It gets worse if one can bear to look further, sinners telling other sinners that sinners with be tortured for ever and ever [whatever that is] toscare people into saying they believe this self-contradictory spiel ... especially when all they have to read what they say they believe [but are told it doesn't mean what it says
]
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ
depart from iniquity.
1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil
For myself I believe in love, because the desire to love cannot be separated from me [it stayed even during deepest darkest depression] , but it is hard toeven know what love means in a world that is destroying itself and has managed to separate power to change anything from anyone who believes love is the only way mankind could have survived ...
it was a bad move to disenfranchise the loving from religion and from society ... it rather sealed the fate of this world... bar a few more wars, some plagues, various vulcanisms ... all the result of inability of mankind to tolerate equality, sharing, caring , justice ... which our hearts and consciences try their best to require of our selves ...
