Top Ten Reasons For Not Being A Christian

Post Reply New Topic

I wont sit here and bash religion, I disagree with it in many ways. But putting them down wont get me anywhere. But here are my thoughts...

For me my decison to abandon my roman catholic heritage was not necessarily "logical." I didnt sit down and write out a list of 10 reasons it disagreed with my logic. Rather it was a gut feeling, something deep inside that said it just wasnt for me. Sure, I saw all of those logical reasons during my many years of catholic school and church, but thats only one half of the coin.

Personally, I think that deep down people have no faith in themselves. They see themselves as weak sinners who need direction. So they look to "God" to find that direction, they walk this path that was laid out for them long ago because it is easy, they asked for answers, and someone gave them to them. When in reality, live is about finding that path yourself, finding those answers on your own, that is the human experience. Be good because you WANT to be good, not because God told you to be good.

People need to stop worshipping gods, and worship themselves. And I dont mean that in an egotistical way, I mean dedicate yourself to strengthening your body, developing your mind, loving your friends and family. When you look back at your life from your deathbed, at least you'll know you've done something with your life.

There can't be good without evil so it must be good to be evil some times (I know I took this of South Park but who honestly cares)

The point is that can any one truly define good and evil actions if we didn’t know the difference in between the words and if it wasn’t in human nature to know what’s wrong or right. Personally I can’t class any thing as good and evil because to me they are just cleverly placed letters to form a word the only things I can class are wrong and right. But even my view of wrong got screwed up when I decided to take a knife to school because I thought it was right because it made me feel safer; how ever the teacher found me with it and put me on detention. When really the teacher didn’t understand that there were many different emotions going thought my mind but all the teacher cared about was that she thought it was wrong and not paying attention to the mental clarification of the student.

sorry repeat

I've seen some advertisements that are pure evil!

Good and evil are a co-existence of opposites.

without good and evil there is only innocents, without concept. Perhaps.

The author only presented the most superficial reasons for not being Christian and dismissed them with quotes from a source that any skeptic worth his or her salt would consider biased (the Bible). I was hoping for some laughs but got some preacher's attempt to convert the heathenous nonbeliever instead.

The author here refutes himself by posting at all. Belief in Christianity is based on faith, not logic. By attempting to put his faith on logical footing, he has already provided the biggest objection to his belief system. One needs not point out the flaws in his logical reasoning, one just simply has to point out that he has tried to reason at all.
