From your profile picture, can I make up you're a 'happy little puppy'? I've turned 59 today. I've been a born again christian for about 40 years. I've seen EVRYTHING there is to see in christinity and boy it is UUUUUGLY. Everything I write is to my younger self - or the younger versions of me like you out there who will eventually turn away from faith and religion. The question is "How long will it take them?" It took me way too long, I'm ashamed to say. I hope with my writing, it some will make it earlier.

How you read all my articles? I hope you will. It shows beyond reasonable doubt that God does not exist because he CANNOT exist.

In the end it's your choice, I don't judge you. If you need religion and God, fine by me. I've thought I couldn't do without either for 40 years. Ultimately I couldn't live this lie anymore.

You take the blue or the red pill? Stay in your safe cocon of fantasy, dreams and false hopes, or get flushed away into the real world?

You know who the really brave and strong men are? Those who are brave enought to strip away the veil of deceit of religion and relize they're just bloody ape like descendants on a little green-blue planet in the backwaters of the galaxy, facing emptyness, meaningless and only morons around them (believing all kind of BS) AND STILL be nice, loving, generous, giving, caring and find meaning in their everyday lives even thought there is absolutely no point in doing that.

If you need religion to be good, you're just evil. I don't need it anymore. And I'm surrounded by A LOT of people like me that were born again christians but now convinced God does not exist.

You experience 'The holy spirit'? Well, take some classes psychology (no, not in your christian university of course). I've lived with the 'holy spirit' for most of my life. It is a construct. You create it in YOUR MIND. Took me some time to get rid of it. Now it's gone, thank nobody!

This world is going berzerk, and christians lead the way! Why bother about this planet, we don't need it anymore! we'll have a new one soon enough, new heaven, new earth baby!

Please read my articles about creation, the existance of God and see if there is ANY THING to bring in against it. There is not. God does not exist because he CANNOT exist. 100 %. Period. Not a single doubt in my mind. Putting my eternal life on it.
