I have a desire not to be tortured for eternity in a hell created by the being who is demanding I love it unconditionally, without credible evidence of it's existence. All because this being loves me & wants to forgive me for the sin of being descended from a woman who used the free will she didn't have to not be tricked by this beings lie into not eating a magic apple.

Fortunately, this is over ruled by my desire to live my life without being sucked into believing illogical bullshit.

A single believer has a belief.
Multiple believers with the same belief is a cult.
Add a book of instructions & mythology to make a cult a religion.

The bible itself is the best evidence against the truth of the bible & the existence of God. 🤔

How can he be descended from king David AND be the product of a virgin birth from God?

Prayer is for when you think God's plan isn't good enough & you want him to change it to your plan.

I was raised in a somewhat skeptical environment but had been drawn to Christianity by a charismatic bullshit artist.
A new girlfriend was interested in me & asked me to explain my beliefs. As the words were coming out of my mouth, I felt like such a gullible, credulous moron. Something about saying it out loud rather than just thinking or hearing it popped the illusion. Like waking from a weird dream.
Unintentional street epistemology. Still together 37 years later.

Logically, praying for any outcome is against the will of God.
If God has a plan, prayer is basically asking him to change it because you have a better plan.

35 years of faith must have been brutal mentally.
I'm Aussie so religion is not much of an issue here but I deal with it by separating the person from the faith if possible.
Belief is not a choice & I'm not convinced by biblical evidence. Feigning belief would not fool God if he exists.
My christian friends agree to disagree & we move on to other topics. I will not be the angry atheist they need me to be to reinforce their negative opinion of atheists.
