Who cares? Really. Why is it so important to try and destroy somebody else's beliefs? If somebody wants to believe in a higher power, and by doing so, it makes them a better person, which adds to their value in society, WHO REALLY FUCKING CARES?
Why is it so important to tear down that belief???

In a perfect world that is all fine and dandy, and people who use religion to better their lives is great. And while this works for a lot of the religions of the world, especially today, this is not the case
Unfortunately this is not a perfect world and people use religion to create holy wars, bloodshed and hate. We are not only talking about Christianity here, but all religions. More blood has been shed in the name of religion than any disease, or any reason in the history of mankind.
History has taught us that when religion is involved people take very drastic measures to make sure their point is heard and will go to great lengths to defend it. Whether it be the persecution of "witches" to the genocide of the Jews, to the events of 9/11. Every religion is guilty of atrocities that if there was a God, he would damn the whole lot of us.
Why have I chosen the path of Atheism? Because I do not believe society and the world as a whole is better with religion in it, and I would rather see Science and Physics put an end to it and make people grow up and start acting decent towards each other. With the way we twist words and misrepresent and misinterpret the religion we believe, it only leads to more chaos, bloodshed and persecution.
Im sorry if what I say offends some of you, but its really time for people that say they believe in a peaceful god to start acting peaceful and stop misrepresenting their god by killing and hating people different from you. We all have one large thing in common, we are children of EARTH, we are all stuck on this planet together (at least for now), so lets all coexist peacefully.
