More from ~ResponsibleAtheist

Ask the ResponsibleAtheistHello everyone

I just want to say that if any of you need help with a certain theological problem, you can ask me for help. I've had quite some experience debating Theists, so I'm pretty sure I could help you.

Just post the questions, or a hypothetical situation, in the the commentsection. I'll answer them as soon as possible

Happy to help

The Christian ScamMany of you may have heard of Original Sin, which is one of the most important aspects of Christianity. According to most Christians, we are all born with original sin because of what Adam and Eve did. According to them, Jesus died on the cross to forgive us for our sins, and if we accept his forgiveness, we are saved.

As I explained in several of my other articles, the whole Original Sin story doesn't make any sense. My article ''With Great Power...'' explains why the Fall doesn't make sense, while ''God and (in)justice'' partly explains why Jesus's sacrifice wasn't necessary. Besides, there's no evidence that the story of genesis is actual
Burning through my soulToday, I want to talk to you about the soul, as described in Christianity. According to Christians, the soul is the immortal, immaterial part of us which is responsible for thought, action and emotion.

However, if you know anything about the brains, than you know that all things, which Christians believe are caused by the soul, are actually caused by the brain and nerve system, and are a result of physical processes.

Those of you who have finished High School might have heard about the Cerebrum, the larger parts of your brain. The Cerebrum obtains information from the senses through your nerves, and processes this, compares it to other info

Seriously, there are many reasons why God is worse than Satan:

1. God was the one who created Satan. Since God is omniscient, he knew that Satan would cause suffering.
2. In the Bible, God has killed way more people than Satan (after all, Satan never killed almost EVERYONE in the world)
3. In 2 Samuel 24:1, God tells David to number Israel and Judah, while in 1 Chronicles 21:1, it's Satan who supposedly told David to number Israel. This would mean that God and Satan are the SAME being.

In my mind satan's the good guy even though i don't believe in this religion gibberish... The story pretty much paints him as the one who takes orders.. He's a muscle for the asshat Yahweh

........ya know, I would LOVE to say I didn't see this kind of discussion coming...but I did.

As soon as I saw the picture. Lol
I believe in God (not in a dogmatic sense though. I SUPPOSE theistic would fit me) but the bible was written by men.

Was Jesus the son of God? Don't know.
The bible isn't the only way to spiritual enlightenment, in fact its one of the more painful as all the comments show.
Its a shame though. The god of the bible kinda gives god a bad name.
Take religion out of God, things get simpler.
Take God out of religion your left with a lot less headaches lol

Then again, no one will REALLY know the truth until we die.

God = Genocide (see Noah's Ark story)
Satan = honestly... what has Satan ever done of bad things? God is the one that puts the blame on him...

For the religious people who believe in god, God is the good guy.

For Satanists Satan is the good guy.

For Atheists and others who don't believe in religion, it would be Satan.

Satanists don't believe in Satan. Satanism is more of a worship of ones self (Whereas regular religion is the worship of another). They got the label "satanism" because they are opposite of regular religions.

Atheists don't believe either exist, so why would it be satan?

Well, it would be a matter of statistics. Who killed more people? God. Why was Satan cast down to hell? Because he didn't kneel to humanity.
