(1) Relative Time
It makes no sense that the relatively short life we live on this planet, at most 100 years and perhaps as brief as a few minutes, would be used by a God to determine our ultimate destiny, one that will last trillions and trillions of years and beyond. This would be like compensating a baseball player for his entire career based on how he performs in his first major league at bat. If he hits a home run, he would receive a high salary, but if he strikes out, he will get only minimum wage throughout his career no matter how well he plays thereafter. The time difference between the trial period and the punishment/reward period is drastically out of sync.
Some Christians say that God will give people another chance after they die to accept his grace, but if that is true, then why be so concerned about the unsaved in this life? And if you get a second chance after you die, you will obviously know that Christianity is true, making the decision to believe not a matter of faith, but of fact. This makes no sense, and it would render the core theology of Christianity meaningless.

Very great article. It points out many things about Christianity I had questions about even when I was a Christian, myself. I like how it points out that the Biblical God is worse than Hitler, since all of God's people who don't believe in him burn for all eternity, which is a large percentage of the world's population. What Hitler did was pretty bad but compared to what the Biblical God has done/is doing (if one believes he exists), Hitler's horrific actions weren't nearly as bad as the Biblical God's. On top of that, Hitler confessed his sins to Jesus before he died, and according to Christianity he was able to go to heaven, meanwhile all of the Jews he killed who did not believe in Christ didn't make it to heaven.

 

What kind of logic is this? How did I come to believe in something so absurd? It's like religious people and the brainwashing of Christianity took a shit all over my brain and it's a long process now that I am cleaning it all up!
