HELL

There were a few key incidents that snapped me out of my hypnotic spell of being a Christian and back into reality, but the main one was when my prayers for moving my family into a house went unanswered.

We used to live in a high-rise apt, while most of my friends from school had houses. I must’ve been around 12 years old and felt that I was an exemplary Christian and didn’t think what I was praying for was unreasonable-since it wasn’t selfish, it’d benefit my family also.

I believed all that stupid horseshit they tell you in church-that you could hear god talking to you, etc. But as I began putting all the claims of religion to the test and finding them to fail miserably one after the other, then I knew it was all a hoax, one sick fucking practical joke played on me by religious shitheads who themselves fell for the same practical joke.

What angered me even more was that my mother was far more devote than myself (wouldn’t listen to reason) and gave what little savings we had to various televangelists and the church she attended regularly.

The irony was, based on what I had calculated for what she gave to them, it would’ve been enough (at that time) for a large down-payment for a house. Once I made her realize she did eventually stop donating-and cut back on her church attendance.

So basically this scam of religion prevented us from owning a home because my mother was duped (single parent), into think that by “investing in god” she’d be rewarded “later on” maybe when you die. Meanwhile the televangelists and pastors got filthy rich off poor stupid, gullible people like my mother.

There’s no greater poison on this planet than religion, it spreads lies, gives shitty advice/opposite of morality, provides false promises and evil ideas that continue to ruin and destroy lives so long as it continues to exist.

I got a little carried away but your story stirred up some emotions from my past. And if you are religious, perhaps it’s given you some food for thought.

Another irony is that all believers/theists can easily see how retarded other religions are, but for some reason they can’t seem to grasp that their very own religion is no different than the others and is just as wrong, false and dangerous.
