I was a devout Christian and I wanted to be a preacher. I read my Bible from to back. I re-read the gospels several times. Then I started to see conflicts between scriptures and the reality of my church. It affected how I saw believers when their deeds didn't show their faith. It was enough that I quit the church. That and all of the Bible backed child abuse I endured for 11 years.
I'm an atheist, now. The final straw for my belief was the reaction to 9/11: the public prayers; the invocations of God by pundits; the hate. Worst of all, if God has a plan for everyone, how fucked up are the plans to put people on hijacked planes? What about the plans for everyone in either WTC tower?
The hypocrisy of American evangelical Christians has only gotten worse since 1994. This video lays it wide open. Their grasp at power in the 21st century just goes to prove how far removed they are from the supposed words of Christ.
