Religion is a Mental Illness

Tribeless. Problematic. Triggering. Faith is a cognitive sickness.

What did the Bible originally say?
“It is one thing to say that the originals were inspired, but the reality is that we don’t have the originals - so saying they were inspired doesn’t help me much, unless I can reconstruct the originals.”
“Not only do we not have the originals, we don’t have the first copies of the originals. We don’t even have copies of the copies of the originals, or copies of the copies of the copies of the originals. What we have are copies made later - much later. In most instances, they are copies made many centuries later. And these copies all differ from one another, in many thousands of places.”
– Bart D. Ehrman, Misquoting Jesus

You’re who needs Jesus the most. I was like you once, looking for attention on the internet and fights about religion. The things is, you wouldn’t be investing all this energy into this if you didn’t genuinely care about the topic. I hope you come to Christ soon because the end is nearer than you think.

This is what I mean about Following me and obsessing about me.

I need "Jesus" - who we know never existed - as much as both of us need Clip-Clop, the Invisible Pink Unicorn. Imaginary friends are for children. I don't need your fictional crutch.

I didn't say I don't care about the topic.

"For someone so against religion you talk about God an awful lot" Yeah, I know a detective who talks about crime a lot. Mad isn't it?
-- Ricky Gervais

Oncologists spend a lot of time thinking and talking about cancer. Virologists spend a lot of time writing about and studying infections. People who fight famine and poverty spend a lot of time campaigning about it. UNICEF has dedicated an entire website to discussing the exploitation of children; they wouldn't put that much energy into this if they weren't secretly in favor of child exploitation, right?

Really? "Haha, you know stuff, so you must really believe it." This is your play? This smooth-brained, jaw-dropping idiocy is the best you can muster? My goodness.

With "wisdom" and "logic" like this, it's no wonder Xianity is steadily declining. This must be the senility phase of its twilight years. All the more reason that I want to help euthanize it and put it out of everyone's misery. You wonder why I post about it, and yet you are Exhibit A.

I post about it because people like you exist in the world and try to influence it through your beliefs, your arrogance, your baseless moralizing, your condescension, and your empty, worthless "faith." I post about it to help people resist and oppose people like you. You are not the audience, you are the subject matter.

As always, not ever do you offer an actual argument or evidence. You just spout some idiotic platitude, which serves only to make yourself feel righteous and give yourself a little buzz.

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear

You either can't or won't do this, even though your god tells you to.

Instead what you're doing is masturbatory. You vomit stupidity and obvious falsehoods at me solely as a form of public religious ejaculation, rather than to actually justify your beliefs. You're dragging me into your public piety fetish, chasing a moral-religious orgasm. Which makes you one of the hypocrites, needing to be seen.

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

I hope you come to reason, rationality and sanity, because lunatics like you have been predicting "the end" for over 2000 years now and not a single one of you has ever been right. None of you. And all of you have had the same justification, which tells you plenty.

The Gambler's Fallacy, also known as the Sunk Cost Fallacy, is where you persist with a losing proposition, because you've sunk so much effort and investment into it. Committing a little more, just a little more, just a little more, because you've already thrown so much away, what's a little more again? Instead of cutting your losses.

That's you. You've carelessly discarded all your belief to a proposition that has an exactly 100% failure rate over the last 2000 years, and despite that, you keep throwing all your intellectual capital away again and again and again and again, constantly, habitually betting on a horse that loses every time.

“The New Testament is recognized by biblical scholars the world over as an arbitrary hodgepodge of dubious literature of uncertain origins and reliability.
We have no reason to believe the authors of the New Testament documents were any more honest or critical or infallible than any other men of their time, and there’s plenty of evidence to suspect they were less so.”
– Richard Carrier

Except for all the extra-Biblical evidence and the archaeological record. Why do you think you spend all day posting about hating God online? Is it because you actually love God?

LOL. False. Does not exist. This is trivially known by any bible or early Xianity scholar, even the ones who are Xians themselves. It's notable you don't know this.

Everybody who wrote about Jesus was not around when he was, and nobody who was around when he was wrote about him. For his entire life, literally nobody was impressed enough to write about him. Nobody noticed him. Nobody thought these literal miracles were worth jotting down somewhere. More than five thousand people were fed with a few loaves and fishes, and every single one of them was either illiterate or deemed it of little importance.

And when they did write about him, it was decades later, and only by propagandists of the burgeoning apocalypse cult, not by civil writers and authorities. He disrupted sacred Jewish worship practices in a temple the size of several football fields and guarded by dozens and dozens of Roman guards, and yet none of his followers thought to mention it until about 40 years later. And no Jewish scholar wrote it down at all. An anti-semitic attack on a sacred Jewish holy site, by a Jewish man, and no Jewish record exists of it. At all. Anywhere.

And all of this just makes sense to you. No part of any of this is the slightest bit fishy. All of this makes you go "👍 yep, that's the thing for me."

You should look at dates, not merely the rambling, fumbling claims of apologists.

Jesus is not historical. Not even slightly. He was supposedly a carpenter. And yet, nobody has ever found a single thing he supposedly made. There is literally no physical evidence of his existence. None. Nobody can write a timeline, or put him at any given point at any given time. Nobody can find anything he made. Nobody can trace a path of the people he supposedly "miraculously" cured. Nobody can find anything he touched or used. Nobody can tell us what blood type he was or get genetic materials from these imaginary "archaeological records."

And every assertion about him, from birth, to life, to ministry, to table-flipping, to death, to the supposed resurrection is known to be fraudulent, irreconcilable and violates history that is known. The bible isn't even written as a historical record. There are no first-person testimonies (if you think the Gospels count, then you really don't know anything about the bible), and there is no consistent narrator. It's literally written as a third-person story, such as when Jesus is alone, or with the Devil, and the bible is telling us what he said and did. It's unambiguously written and framed as fiction.

So, the real question then is, why do you think you spend all day Following my atheist blog (yes, I saw that), replying to my atheist posts online? Is it because you actually don't believe in the god you pretend to? Aren't there better ways to get my attention and approval than being the awkward kid in the schoolyard who pulls the pigtails of the girl he likes? A crush is one thing, but stalking is a little weird. It's okay to be the atheist you are deep down inside underneath all the dogma, and admit to yourself what you know through to your very core: none of this superstitious claptrap makes any sense whatsoever.

You see how that works? Is your particular brand of dishonesty and sophistry the result of your religion or is it a character flaw specific to yourself?

Considering you keep following me around and either lying or demonstrating your ignorance, I'm going to take a guess that it's a personal deficiency.
