What was the final atheist that made you a straw?

[Living Bait]

reading the bible and realising how Jesus has been slowly depicted to be some blonde hair blue eyed cac will be a good start.....

reading the old testament will horrify you....

humans aren't special......they just have the ability to gossip, write stuff and talk shyt......

I recon if elephants or dolphins could hold a pen i'd prefer their religious scriptures......

I'm not even atheist.....i'm agnostic, because something had to come from somewhere

but humans are just animals......

I lost my faith very easy at around 13 when I finally grew some brains and figured out for myself there’s no such thing as God living in the sky

Anthropology

Made the concept of Adam and Eve's original sin obsolete


Which means Jesus died for nothing even if he did exist


Actually Anthropology didn't make me an atheist it just made me an ex christian. The concept of a creator is an interesting placeholder for our current gap in knowledge so technically I'm agnostic to the concept of a creator and atheist to the idea of traditional religions.


With that said Eastern Philosophy and Buddhism is probably the best thing for a human beings mental health next to professional psychology help like therapy or medication and it usually doesn't contradict science and reality the way the 3 Abrahamic faiths do

This is facts. Wish more people understood this.

Reading the Bible and learning about world history

Makes no sense for Black folk to worship a white interpretation of a middle eastern diety

Are you saying the lack of love lead to our leaving religion? Because anecdotal may it be, the ppl in my that seek/need love are usually the ones running towards religion.

religion isnt God

this is precisely why you dont see Egypt/Judah anymore. They believed in their witchcraft and their illusions of magic more than God and they were delivered into the hands of their oppressors

Love of God is the only thing that makes someone whole and of safe understanding

everything else is tried by fire and will wither.

the quote is actually meant to charge believers over proselytizing. You cant win hearts for christ through condemnation.

Romans Chapter 3:3-4
3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

Actually reading the bible

this.
my parents would read me bible stories when i was a kid.
any time i had a basic question my parents would look at me like

Mom: So they left the city of Sodom after the people tried to rape the angels and God told them not to look back on the destruction and death God had wrought.

Young Orb:

Mom: But Lot's wife looked back so God turned her into a Pillar of salt.

Young Orb: I have some questions

Mom:

the first 17 years of my life spent asking questions about stupid ass religion and every answer i got was or or or

The fact that there are thousands of religions out there that are all claiming to be correct while offering the same amount of evidence for their claims. Faith requires no evidence.

Also, the fact that science has given us more answers about the world around us than all religions combined.
