A few good things about Christianity, from an Atheist
As an atheist I wanted to say a few good things about Christianity (because thats mostly what is debated here Christian vs Atheist).
Personally I am not anti-theist, religion is supposed to be a good thing but considering its all a belief system leaves it open for interpretation which results in almost anything. The below doesn't apply to everyone. I still don't believe it as i clarified that I'm atheist but there are a lot of good people out there that are religious. I just wanted to shed a good light on it as some christian users on here have been making some pretty outrageous post that I am noticing many other Christians disagree with.
1) Comforting when stressed to any degree for some
2) Sense of security, as far as God is always there for you
3) At its core [b][u]it's suppose[/u][/b] to promote love for all
4) Some want to save people from eternal damnation, whether you believe in it or not its still a nice gesture depending on how that is handled
5) Guide to morality and happiness
Extremist and simple mindedness are the reasons I hate labels. People generally only associate negative ideas with any label. Whether it be politics/religion/race/etc, its the simple mindedness of many, to not see people as an individual but rather just the stereotypes of the label. Extremist tend to create those labels. My girlfriend and I honestly don't even like calling ourselves Christian (her) & atheist (me) because if you talk to someone who doesn't know you 9 times out of 10 their just going to assume the negatives about what you label yourself (unless their the same label as you).

2 RepliesI've been seeing a lot of religious mumbo jumbo lately, so I guess I'll put my input on this crap. I personally am a Christian, I may not be a good Christian in many ways, but I'm not a -blam!--bag like lots of Christians are, and I swear to god if some butt-hurt son-of-a bitch starts getting puffy because I said that, jump in front of a got damn train, because you know there are lots of ass wipe Christians that think they're superior. Now, with that said, I think most of everything in the bible is complete and total, 100%, BULL. SHIT. most of the shit in the bible is crap and if you believe it, more power to you, but I don't, because what kind of a God would not allow homosexuality, for example, because not allowing that is not allowing happiness. The bible to me is just to see whom is righteous and will challenge things that they see is clearly wrong, and to single out those who'll actually do something about it and those who blindly follow anything their god says like he isn't wrong. Here's the simplified version You either follow your master like a good dog. Or you challenge everything that you know is wrong. And I guarantee you if you choose the second option, you'll be considered righteous in the eyes of God. With all that said, this has been MY OPINION, I'm not trying to right a new holy book or tell you you're all wrong, because in the end every single person, no matter what they believe in, Is wrong in some way. Also, if this pisses you off in some way as a Christian and you want to leave hateful comments you're contradicting yourself, because even the bible says to love thy neighbor, or some shit along those lines.
