I'm not a Christian for a simple reason. Because it's all a load of excess baggage. Every religion can be summed down to one cardinal rule:
Don't hurt others. Now that we've summed that up in 3 words, what's the point of a 1500 page book? And who needs to go to church every week to make sure they're following that rule? The answer: not me. I know, and I think most people know, when I'm hurting somebody. It's not that hard to realize.
And secondly, and this is where the post gets more opinionated, if God (the Christian god) exists, why all the stupid rules? I mean...kill non-Christians? Don't masturbate? Don't have lustful thoughts (see previous)? As far as I'm concerned, any God that sends people to eternal damnation for stuff like that isn't worth believing in.
Humor point: If God is all-powerful, why did he need to rest on Sunday?
