I had enough of Christianity long ago…but I’m getting sick of the reasons given why it’s dear to people and therefore should be propped up. So-called wise people who display their wisdom by scoffing politely at its nonsense end up by saying that after all it IS such a consolation to people why rob them of it? That’s like saying an adult should be kept a child and his rattle and fairy tales never taken from him, even if he is pushing 60. Rattles, thumb-sucking and fairy tales are all normal to a young child but they’re hardly becoming or safe in an adult, especially one who can fly bomber airplanes and start nuclear wars. One expects a bit of maturity in these things.

It’s like saying people derive comfort from believing the world is flat, so let them if it makes them feel good…or better than finding out it’s round and staying awake at nights thinking they’ll fall off…why not expand their knowledge by also letting them in on gravity and magnetism and all sorts of OTHER things the infantile-inducing Church has forbidden, on pain of death…all if it supposedly for the comfort of adults who must be kept children in order to find comfort. I’d say much of their “sinning” and frightful behavior is exactly what we can expect when adults are kept children in mind and morals and that we definitely can NOT afford comfortable adults at the price of their continued imbecility…for that’s all it is when children don’t grow up in mind but only in body.

To do away with Christianity is not to do away with love or compassion or justice, which are all things this world needs desperately more of, but from ADULTS. Law would still exist and the police and courts and all the mechanisms which are failing us now because we have too many adults in body but children in mind, who are being raised and looked after and taught by other children with adult bodies and responsibilities way beyond their comfort-zones.

Christianity isn’t unique in and did not bring the world parental love, adult love, self-sacrifice…none of it. All of these qualities existed long before and would if Jesus had never been born…or Muhammad or Buddha or Moses. Any tribe or family squatting over a fire recognizes sooner or later that murder and theft and rape are not conducive to quiet nights around the campfire.

What Christianity and all Jew-based religions brought, was the idea of sin, of divine wrath requiring divine forgiveness, of mind-numbing ritual and a belief in heaven and hell, the one to be won by accepting the priest the other to be earned by ignoring him. This is childs-play…scaring children and rewarding them in order to make them behave…it’s unbecoming and dangerous as a way of living what should be adult lives…still afraid and still hoping to appease.

Threat of an injection may work wonders on a recalcitrant child…or the promise of an ice cream cone be equally persuasive…but that’s for children…not adults. And as a seal to the idea that these beliefs induce irresponsible behavior is the fact that no one questions what a hell heaven would be. The greatest promise heaven affords is the idea of escaping death…something terrible to children. But since these adults who believe in heaven are made weak in the head, they never think about heaven in any adult way. They don’t ask themselves and are not encouraged or even allowed to ask how living forever can be anything but sheer hell. The idea of anything done or endured “forever” is hell itself. I don’t care how much ice cream you can eat in heaven..or games you can play…to do it for 100 years and then ten thousand years and a million would be torture.

An adult would realize that heaven is right here on earth…and would protect and defend it as he now disregards it and plans on heaven instead. Perhaps that’s the reason devout Christians are so afraid of death…I mean with what they believe is waiting for them you’d think they’d almost welcome anything that brought them to this unbearable reward faster…perhaps they’re so eager to avoid going there till the last second because in their childish hearts they know they haven’t been “good” as mummy and daddy expected and chances are they’ll miss heaven altogether and go to hell instead.

If we want people to be “happy” in their foolishness why not give every child a lobotomy? Or is that what Christianity has been doing? And spare me the “Christian intellectuals”…that’s a contradiction oxy-moron if I ever heard one…might as well discuss the merits of Voodoo “thinkers”!
