So I have some christian friends and

[dopeboy23]

I feel really sorry for them. It's not that I have a problem with their religion specifically, but I feel as if they take things way too far.

They try ridiculously hard to pull some divine meaning from the bible, and whenever I attempt to inject them with truth and logic they quickly put up the jesus shield.

aka, an impenetrable force field of ignorance.

They also like to refer to atheism as a "religion" even though I try to explain to them that atheism is simply the omission from any belief of a god.

Why must they insist on maintaining a blind spot for their own religion's faults yet they are so easy to denounce another?

To be honest, a four year old could put a few holes in the christian belief with a few simple questions.

For example:

"Mommy, why did Jesus descend into hell?"

"Why did God send Jesus to die on the cross and save people from their sins, when he could just done it instantly since he's god?"

Christians try too hard to cover up the holes in their beliefs with irrational logic. They also make nonsense excuses for god's absence of power.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not just another atheist douche bag who likes to insult religions. I understand that they're part of cultures and traditions, but it ails me to see my friends engage in such idiocy.

Sadly, they know no better. I know that I will never get through to them. If only they could step out of their bubble of delusion to see the world with clarity.

They are weak to depend on some magic savior as if he will really help them whatsoever. They blindly stumble around in the dark waiting for something to guide them, but of course they search to no avail. In their minds, their "savior" has touched their lives, but it's all in the mind. The mind makes what it wants out of things.

It's all illusions. They can be satisfying to give into, but they will be nothing more than mirages.

The lies you may or may not choose to believe don't matter.

at least not in the end.
