This is *not* specifically intended for converting Christians into non-Christians.
I made this for people such as myself to come togethor to, and that's really the end of it.

I believe if people had any real faith in a god that is love, as the bible says in the rare better parts, they would do away with Christianity. Isn't faith something you do in the face of fear and opposition? How then is it that people say they have faith when they are adhering to a destructive system involving hell and punishment? Allow me to elaborate......

Everywhere I go, all I hear is "Jesus". And that bible, that too often ends up standing in the place of love, creating bigotry and fear instead. And it's like you have to practically be enlightened to never succumb to Christianity within your life. How is the child's mind supposed to fight the extreme beliefs that are often forced upon them as a child? Even the most generous of Christians, who only merely consider Jesus as a good role model... why do you have to call yourself Christian, then? Why place such glory and specialness on the man? And why promote him anyways, with all he is related to? Roughly half of the American population believes homosexuals should not be allowed to wed. Honestly, do you believe this is unrelated to Christianities presence? Hell is a horrible idea, perhaps the worst I have ever known, a horrible thing to put on anyone, let alone a child. so why do we promote anything even related? Why doesn't Christianity make more people sick to their stomach? Why do we promote a system that tells you..

<sub>Exodus 21:
20 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

Exodus 21:
15 "Anyone who attacks his father or his mother must be put to death. 16 "Anyone who kidnaps another and either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to death. 17 "Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.

Leviticus 20:
8 Keep my decrees and follow them. I am the Lord, who makes you holy. 9 "'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death.

Leviticus 24:
13 Then the Lord said to Moses: 14 "Take the blasphemer outside the camp. All those who heard him are to lay their hands on his head, and the entire assembly is to stone him. 15 Say to the Israelites: 'If anyone curses his God, he will be held responsible; 16 anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him.

Psalms 137:
8 Daughter Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is the one who pays you back
what you have done to us. 9 Happy is he who takes your little ones
and dashes them against the rocks.

Leviticus 18
21 Do not profane the name of your God; I am the Lord. 22 You are not to sleep with a man as with a woman; it is detestable.</sub>

is this god?

Maybe there aren't a whole lot of people that see it just how i do, but if you do than this is for you. This was made precisely for the point of getting away from the constant Jesus pushing in every corner of life. So let me hear how you feel, if this is what you feel. Relate any frustration about the system of Christianity to me. Do it here, or note me, or anything! Christians have their Jesus to explain their burdens to, and their places to commune about their ideas, now how about us?

The point is.. as a person with a SERIOUS critique of Christianity among other religions down to the even the very basics, i tend to feel alienated from the world i live in, and this is there for that. that's really what i hope to make this into

keep swimming upstream
oh yeah and the comments being made against this group and it's ideas, don't expect those to change i guess that's what it means to swim upstream anyways.

its about ideas, not people-

this community, or at least I, am not against Christians as people, in the same way that I am not against neo-nazis, terrorists, kantians, republicans, democrats, etc, as people. I am against ideas, such as the ideas of neo-nazis, etc. Not that this is about those groups, it's about Christianity.

if you want to try to get me banned, please just think about this for a moment first

if anyone wants to submit or have me favourite their works in regards to anti-religion, anti-christianity, or other related works, i can post/favourite them. (But won't just post anything at all, so make it rather good)

if anyone wants to become a member and have their icon put up in this here journal, just notify me! (note, comment, etc.)

if anyone wants to curse the lord, he shall be put to death. the entire community must stone him. just kidding! curse away!
