Why I might just abandon Christianity

[Platypus20]

We would probably all get along easier if we just did that, just abandoned our religions.

I've been feeling like my Christian faith causes harm, and I'm tired of trying to rationalise why there's so much barbarism in the Bible. I'm tired of it. If a God did exist, why would he be so sadistic?

I think the biggest reason I haven't abandoned it already is because of my family. I think they would just disown me. That's another reason I've learned to dislike religion, it's from seeing how many parents are willing to disown their own children for not following it. It all just feels so wrong. A god wouldn't make humans feel this way.

Starting today, I'm giving up on Christianity. I hope other religious people who read this feel inspired to do the same.

I dare you guys to say the same things about Islam, but you never will because you know they would not tolerate this. No, you pick on Christianity because you know they are tolerant and good people who won’t retaliate.

Your so called progressivism is just a new modern day religion and modern day racism. And you hide behind this religion of yours to spread the hate to get fulfillment in your empty lives. You pretend to be good people, when all you do is hate hate and hate. I would feel pity for you, but I am tired of you all ruining everything. Lines have been drawn

Islam is completely incompatible with you. They won’t be as merciful

Its the internet bro. No one is coming to my home because I criticized Islam. We pick on Christianity because this is the dominate religion in the West.

Tolerate and love your enemies to death.
Ah yes the Christian art of bringing down corrupt nations.
They took down Judea. They took down Rome, and next they will take down the United states.

No you picked on it because it was easy, pushing on an open door and it was pushed by those in control. Its why the new atheists existed, no religion in government and schools, no indoctrination they cried, but they want all those things now but for their religion of the rainbow instead.

You are predictable and the cringe is easy to laugh at as we've seen how your ideas turn out.

You managed to prove all the "slippery slope" warnings of the Christians right.

Separation of church and state was from thee founding fathers. They saw first hand the harm religion can do, and because of this they wanted to keep religion out of government. And yet, the radical Christians have other plans, because they hate America and the founding fathers,

America IS NOT a Christian nation. It never was...

It was not the atheistic separation of state imagined by your modern progressive, christianity was implicit. They meant to keep the state out of the church and states actually did have blasphemy laws for much of our history.

And don't even start with "hating the founding fathers", who is tearing down statues, while claiming they are just "white men" and thus to be ignored, the left hates the founding fathers and are fundamentally anti american.

You mean what's literally called the 'Slippery Slope Fallacy'? That's your logic?

I was spot-on when I said knee-jerk reactionary. You know that's what that fallacy pretty much is, right?

There's a reason that logic is called a Fallacy. Figure it out.

The majority of the Founding Fathers actually did not identify as Christians, they were Deists.

The fallacy fallacy, learn something.

The so called logic of the new atheists was dire, and driven mostly by desire for vice. Notably most are implicit creationists now, so its no surprise you fell so easily for that one.

Argument from Fallacy is invalid because The Slipper Slope fallacy was the only argument made. Damn dude at least make this hard.

Its like you didn't read the link.

No surprise, as there was never any intellectual basis for new atheism at all.
