A big one...

This is going to be a pretty big blog... In fact, you won't see his, but I'll probably add bits and pieces to it over the course of a day or two. This blog is about my atheism, because I'm tired of being asked about it. I'm going to choose to point out a thing or two about why I chose this position, and if anybody asks from here on out, they'll know where to look. First of all, the presence of evil clearly demonstrates the lack of a benevolent god. One example being Hell. Why punish nonbelievers so harshly for eternity? Why not send them to a neutral place or at best a nice place, but not as good as Heaven? The two eternal destinations are completely opposite each other, I believe, as a scare tactic. Now obviously, God created Hell in a sense by creating Satan. According to Christianity he's directly responsible for anything that's ever gone on in this universe. Speaking of the creation of the universe... What caused him to decide to create the universe 13.7 billion years ago? He's been around for an eternity... Why not 86.4 billion years ago? Or to add legitimacy to the creationist argument, why not 10 thousand years ago? It's a small catch, but an interesting one, nonetheless. Basically, I'm just beginning to really, really dislike fundamental Christianity. I don't even like capitalizing that word... Some friends and family just got back from a mission trip. I hate those things. They have pictures of children (who aren't old enough to consent to sex or vote) raising their hands to show they've accepted Jesus, hooray! Immediately following, they all got lunchboxes with free gifts and trinkets. And churches actually spend money on this!!! And people give money to churches!!! It's sickening! I'm sorry, I really can't type any more on this, I'm about to throw up. Feel free to comment.
