Just
like the title says. I've been having a hard time, because as many of
you know I'm atheist. *gasp*
Cause
you know, being atheist means you're a horrible
person.
Anyway...Easter
this year was really hard for me cause even though I don't believe
Jesus rose from the dead that day, I still like to get together with
friends/family because I love them. That didn't happen...Logan had to
work, I ended up home alone.
Fast
forward to two days ago. I posted a status:
CHRISTIANITY:
The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie who was his own father can
make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and
telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can
remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity
because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a
magical tree. yeah....makes perfect sense.
I
get bombarded with a few people's opinion on how offensive the status
is. I apologized for offending them, but I don't understand the need
for anyone to say anything. It's not like every time I see a status
that mentions "prayer" "God" "Jesus"
etc I'm trolling them with my opinion of how stupid I think their
religion is. Why do they feel the need to do that to me? I just
ignore what I don't like...hell sometimes I will even hide someone
from my news feed cause I don't want to see what they post. If you
don't like what I have to say there are ways to not see anything I
say.
I
might not believe in God, but I still believe in being a good
person. Someone who doesn't lie, cheat, steal, murder,
is respectful of others, kind, generous. Why can't people
see that? Why can't my MOM see that?! "That's not how I raised
you" ....but yes, this is how you raised me. I just took the God
part out.
I'm atheist,
but I'm still a good person!!
I
don't care if you think I'm going to hell. If God is the type of God
I came to "know" when I believed in him, I seriously don't
think it would matter what I believed, as long as I was good. I also
don't care what you believe! If you agree with me cool, if you don't,
I don't care.
I
went through a long scary personal journey to
get where I am today. I wasn't being a true Christian when I was
claiming to be, and I didn't want to be. I also didn't want to be
considered a bad person, because if you're not Christian...you're bad
(That's what I was taught anyway). But when I met people who weren't
Christian, but were still good people...that's when I decided to call
myself what I truly am. Atheist.
Isn't
it better to be truthful about yourself, then try to be something
you're not?
That's
all I have to say on this matter. Don't try to "save" me,
convert me etc...cause I've already made up my mind. Unless you have
evidence of God...don't talk to me about it cause I don't care.
Love always,
