I was reading another thread and started writing a short list of why people shouldn't be Christian. I hope this thread doesn't turn into a flame-fest. If anyone has the desire to post support for being a Christian in this thread, please reconsider and start your own thread titled '1000 Reasons to be a Christian'. Try keep the reasons concise, to make the thread readable.

First, I would like to mention this site,

http://www.fstdt.com/fundies/top100.aspx?archive=1

This site was posted elsewhere on this forum and I am grateful to have read it.

And a suitable quote to get us ready...

'The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully. Those of us schooled from infancy in his ways can become desensitized to their horror.'
Richard Dawkins


1. God doesn't exist.
2. Divine Command Theory has been beaten to death.
3. Intelligent design (LOL).
4. The world is NOT only 5000 years old.
5. Waving your hands while you sing makes you look stupid.
6. Jesus supported slavery.
7. The Bible has numerous conflicting messages.
8. If you followed the Bible 'religiously', you would have stoned A LOT of people to death by now.
9. The Bible is not a good source of information.
10. Ambrose Bierce�s witty definition of �to pray�: �to ask that the laws of the universe be annulled in behalf of a single petitioner, confessed unworthy�.

Right, that's 10 to get the atheism rolling. Links to other sites will also be appreciated and I may be able to supply some texts via email if anyone's interested.

Can't resist number 11...

11. God doesn't heal amputees.

13: The bible says that in the 'end days' the stars will fall to earth. (The clowns thought stars were the size of golf balls).
14: It's impossible for all the races of the world to have developed from a mono-ethnic Adam over a merely 5000 years.
15: Scientific studies show that prayer is ineffective.
16: Jesus lied through his teeth. ("Whatever you ask of the Father in my name will be done.") Umm,......
17" Jesus was a racist. (The 'throwing pearls to swine' story. PLeasant.)
18. Adam and Eve had three kds, all boys, yet they found wives and reproduced. Where'd they find these chicks? There's nobody else on the planet besides them and their mum and dad.
19: The gospels take 'prophecies' in the old testament out of context in a desperate attempt to show that Jesus was prophecied by Moses etc. Anyone who goes to the Old Testament and finds that passage, then reads the passage immediately before and after it, will immediately know that it was not a reference to Jesus. The gospel writers, being Jews, knew that too. They simply lied.
20: Christianity is basically about human sacrifice. Gross.

23. You have to love everyone - even the ones you are commanded to kill for attempting to lead the 'flock' away from Gob.

25. It's not conducive to living a me-first lifestyle.
26. The Bible is a long read.
27. Why follow old teachings when you can follow the latest trends?

26. the dinosaurs and their ancestors (who were around for about 5% of the planet's history)

27. Christianity directly endorses totalitarianism (as noted by Markhan - I just thought I'd say it differently). No surprise thereforce that fascism arose in Catholic Spain, Italy, Hungary, Bavaria and Austria.

28. the belief that one individual can be more holy than another is the meanest, basest, most vulgar belief; right down there with racism

29. the Bible makes no mention of man's familial relation to animals and plants (which we know is true via DNA, suggesting a common ancestor to all life on the planet) - might've been an idea to mention this fact in the 'book of life', wouldn't it, you morons? Laughing

30. Gen 32:30 states, "...for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." However, John 1:18 states, "No man hath seen God at any time...". You may as well say 2+2=3. That one's from this page on Bible Errors and Contradictions.
