Warning, this IS from the perspective of a Christian. But it’s something I wish I had known when I was deconverting.

The heaven and hell bullshit is just something modern Christian’s use to get you to tithe and support fascist ideals. Fuck them.

    See that’s the thing that always got me. If god controls everything why is it on me to not go to hell if he controls everything

      The “man has free will” argument in Christianity completely ignores the fact that free will cannot exist in a universe where an omnipotent and omniscient deity also exists. And of course it is intrinsically tied up in the whole problem of evil paradox, to which no Christian apologist has ever come up with a reasonable explanation.

        I also have an issue with how there is the expectation to just trust holy books. It would be pretty easy to provide evidence by adding things that are way ahead of the time in a cryptic manner., Things that won’t make sense for thousands of years. Only the wise should wield 235 of 92, for it holds great power. Or time increases with speed. Or 8 minutes from the sun.
