Insanity Laughs...

...under pressure we're cracking

lurkers lurking

This is the point that Christians I’ve spoken to can’t wrap their heads around. Zeus, Poseidon, Aphrodite…they were called Greek Gods…people certainly believed in them all, but now we have an atheist view toward all of them. They were myth, everyone agrees. The Gods of other religions don’t exist in their mind at all and have atheist-like views toward them, they are myths. But God and Jesus? Oh ho ho…what makes them so special? Somehow in their minds, despite the claims of Jesus’ acts, as extraordinary as Hercules’ strength, or any of the current God’s actions….they have it right. Christianity is truth. I fully believe that if the world exists that long, we will eventually look back and realize Christianity is just a myth, a story, like every other person labelled a God before it. (And this goes for all current religions, not just Christianity. I just have had more run-ins with Christians than any other religion, and it is the one I know the most about, as I was raised in a devoutly Lutheran home)

    A lot of believers are resentful of atheists because we come off as arrogant, and we think we’re oh so reasonable, etc....
