I am not being "evil" at all. I'm part of a growing number of people who has left Christianity because the core belief in a God is nonsense. There is nothing evil about that at all.
How old were you when you came to this conclusion? Was it an epiphany? Be funny as hell if happened was during Sunday School class. "And then Jesus sayeth 'woe unto thee, thine shall be mine in the Kingdom' . . . whoah, wait a cotton-picking minute here . . . what the faulk is this stuff? This is like total bullshift, man. Okay, forget everything I just said earlier. Class dismissed!"
I mentioned it earlier...in a very short span of time my young daughter was told by a parishioner that her Jewish friend was going to go to hell (and that greatly upset her) and it was made clear to me that most of the people in my church believed the Noah's Ark story was LITERALLY TRUE. Um...nope. I can't be around people with that nonsense mindset. Christianity is cool if you look at it as a bunch of parables to try to get you to see the world outside of your own needs and wants, but when you start demanding that people believe these stories actually happened in the way they are related in The Bible, um...nah.
Secular humanism provides ZERO basis for moral behavior.
The idiots desperate to kill religion aren't bright enough to understand what it would actually mean.
"Spirituality" has a very loose definition. You can be "spiritual" and not believe in a God. I am neither spiritual nor do I believe in a God.
I am not eager to kill religion...it just will eventually die out if humans continue on long enough. My eagerness would have nothing to do with it anyway. I fully KNOW that there are morons out there who don't do some evil behavior simply because they believe the invisible man in the sky will punish them if they do. So, for those mouth-breathers, I am glad they are fearful of a God. There are, of course, many people worldwide who do evil things in the name of religion.
I don't need the fear of a God to make me do appropriate things (pretty sad that that's true for so many). I have never stolen anything in my life. I have not told a single lie in my adult life. I give to charity. I help people I know who are in need. I do not involve myself in criminal behavior or even any destructive behavior.
Science is incapable of explaining the supernatural by definition. Spirituality is never going away.
Morons also aren't going away. Having many of them think an invisible man in the sky is watching them is very important to society. When you remove this it causes big problems.
The flood was real. There's a reason every culture on earth has a flood story.
There's a reason the geological record shows evidence a global flood not too long ago...
The overwhelming majority of Christians are not biblical literalists.
If you were never on board with Jesus being the Son of God why were you claiming to be a Christian and teaching Sunday school
1) There is not enough water on this Earth for there to ever have been a GLOBAL FLOOD.
2) Your discussion of a flood doesn't broach the subject of a single man getting two of every animal (one female and one male, supposedly both capable of procreating no less) onto a boat. How did Noah get to parts of the world where many animals only live?
3) I believe that many things about Christianity are good. I believe the teachings of Jesus are good (mostly, and I never bought the Son of God nonsense). Teaching children to love your neighbor, to take care of the sick and the elderly, not to steal or kill...those are all valuable and good things. A more liberal view of Christianity was once more widely accepted. That's not the case anymore with mainstream denominations. I had to leave the religion because too many in it are out of their minds. Kenneth Copeland is someone we should follow? HE is a model of good behavior? Um...no. I guess he knows how to put a camel through the eye of a needle.
1. The sea level has risen almost 400 feet since the ice age ended. If you think there was no flooding of occupied areas you're a fool. The English Channel used to be a land bridge. There's evidence of human settlement at the bottom of the sea there. A huge portion of the population lives on the coast. Since the ice age the coast has been swallowed by 400 feet of water. As always, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
2. I clearly said most Christians aren't biblical literalists. Noah was almost certainly a real man and he almost certainly was around for the cataclysmic flooding the geological record shows happened.
3. It is absurd to suggest that Christianity is getting less liberal rather than the other way around. You claim to have the Bible multiple times yet you don't understand the sins of men don't condemn the religion they confirm it's core principle that all humans are sinners.
It's very clear you haven't given any of this much thought which is sad given your advanced age and rigid convictions.

Well, we can certainly see why you were FIRED from your Sunday School teaching job, Mr. Iscariot. They gave you the boot, and frog-marched you out the front door in front of the whole congregation as a rabid secularist spouting your un-American heresy like liquid swill all over the place.
Didn't get fired. I left my church and Christianity because both kept going down a really bad path. When the wife of the associate pastor told the children during the Children's Moments of the service that all of the stories in the Bible were actual events that happened and I saw lots of adult heads nodding in agreement, I was out of there. Just BS nonsense. That same week, a parishioner told my then young teenage daughter that her Jewish friend was going to go to hell. So, not having anything to do with that kind of nonsense.
People once believed in Zeus as passionately as you believe in "God." If humans live long enough, your "God" will go by the wayside as well.
You do realize the passages written in the New Testament about Jesus were all eyewitness accounts. You don't get to pick and choose which events actually occurred.
You cannot call yourself a Christian by rejecting the Bible and the only way to salvation is through faith in the Lord and accepting His sacrifice on the cross for your sins. As for your daughter's Jewish friend, if he or she did not accept the Lord as savior then that person WILL go to hell. The Bible makes it very clear about what is the way to heaven.
You obviously do not know the Bible and please stop telling people that you do.
Do not take a job with Trump, kiddos. Do not do it.
Trump’s valet, Walt Nauta—who went to work at the Florida resort after working in the Trump White House—also faces charges alongside Trump, according to a social media post from Trump and a person familiar with the matter.
The FBI on Thursday arrested a businessman at the center of the scandal that led to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's historic impeachment, a move that came amid new questions about the men’s dealings raised by financial re...

Wait til she finds out some of the things practicing Jewish people believe
You really need to stop getting your information from painfully stupid people...
the post from the Republican is real.
translation for normal people:
Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) raised many eyebrows on Thursday night with a cryptic tweet in the wake of former President Donald Trump’s federal indictment. Higgin’s tweet confused many journalists and observers unfamiliar with the language he used, but Jeff Sharlet, a bestselling author and expert on right-wing militias, explained the meaning and called the tweet “deep scary.” “President Trump said he has ‘been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM.’ This is a perimeter probe from the oppressors. Hold. rPOTUS has this,” Higgins wrote, adding: Buckle up. 1/50K know your bridges. Rock steady calm. That is all. Aaron Blake of the Washington Post replied, “‘rPOTUS’ = ‘real POTUS,’ I assume.” While Punchbowl’s Jake Sherman added, “i still have no idea what this means.” Will Sommer commented, “Any ideas on what “1/50k know your bridges” means, besides literally knowing your local bridges? Not something I’ve encountered before.” Sharlet, who penned the New York Times bestselling book “The Undertow: Scenes From a Slow Civil War,” was quick to explain: Deep scary: 1/50 k refers to military scale maps & publicly available US Geological Survey maps of areas mostly surrounding military installations. This isn’t a metaphor. This isn’t slow civil war. This is a congressman calling for the real thing. Sharlet answered some of the specific questions regarding Higgin’s message to his followers. “Prepare for war. ‘Know your bridges’ is militia speak for closing them down. County level insurrection,” Sharlet noted, interpreting “Buckle up” as code for “prepare for war.”

Yes the people you think are "normal" are all painfully stupid.
remember, the GOP thinks of itself as the party for normal people. God help us.
NEW: Prosecutors have subpoenaed Richard Seddon, a former British intelligence official, and Susan Gore, a Republican donor and heiress to the Gore-Tex fortune, as part of an investigation into attempts by GOP-aligned groups to infiltrate the DNC.

Coastal elites and painfully stupid people like yourself are not the "normal" people no matter what you tell yourself in the mirror.
"As reported by Fox News..." Um, ok. Get back to me when legitimate news sources report the same thing.
As admitted the corrupt AF FBI. They denied the document existed at all until Grassley revealed to them that the whistleblower told them it existed.
How many lies must the FBI be caught in before you're willing to admit they aren't honest actors?
Just kidding. I know a wildly partisan person like yourself would cheer anything your side does. Without mindless fools like yourself things like the Holocaust and the Third Reich wouldn't be possible.
How do you work Nazis and the Holocaust into an item on Biden's corruption?

Biden is actively weaponizing the government against his political opponents.
Nazis were of the left and the left always behaves like the left.
