So you still believe in god, then? Do you also still believe that Catholics are evil?

I came to the conclusion that the idea that God would care about us believing in him is just stupid.
He's like a father that abandoned his child at birth.

Of all the questionable deeds attributed to God in the Bible, ‘abandoning’ his son with a loving mother and foster father is not the example I would select.

Hey guys every heard of a religion named Jehova? I only just learned about it today. Apparently, they don't believe in holidays. Not even birthdays.

Do you mean Jehovah's Witnesses?
Jehovah is just the Latin word for the Hebrew god

Yes, that's the religion I meant.

Sounds like gnosticism.

As concerns Jehovah's Witnesses, they're not a distinct religion but more of a very special Christian group. When someone knocks at your door and asks you if you know Jesus, you know you're doomed!

Nah, you just kick em out.

My brother was forced to take their little books countless times, it turns out. I'm a bit door-shy.

I'd rather troll them until they leave. Wait, they never leave.

Sorry for being a Grammar Spongebob, but *know. Also, I do know Jesus, my Mexican pen pal.

But in all honesty, I would find such a thing annoying. I am indeed an atheist, plus I'm glad that such a thing does not occur in Poland, as far as I know.

If I was legally allowed to commit arson on just one religious building, it'd be a kingdom hall, nuff said.

You got me there.

I somehow feel like that bump was an excuse to start another religion debate, beginning with our newer users. Interesting topic remains interesting.

I'm just curious, what would you pick specifically?

Probably one of the numerous time he went all genocide.

Forever trolling!

Actually, I once made some of them leave because they came while I was asleep, so I got up and opened the door while still in my underwear. That sure made the situation awkward, so they just smiled, handed my a brochure and left quickly.

Aside from this, I don't know if the comic strip Pondus has ever made it very far outside of Scandinavia, but a few of these are about Jehovah's Witnesses and how the troll them/scare them away.

I would not pick anything, as I have no vendetta against Christianity. I was just pointing out that there are better examples, like when he created Satan, or that one time when he killed all of the people in the world.

Yeah, good, just checking.

wat
What I meant was, why the hell should I care about God right now?
It's not like he leaves us messages or something, or even show his face for two thousand years.
And if we all get judged in the end, it would be stupid to let someone go to hell which did nothing ''bad'' in his life.
It sounds more like agnostic to me, but that's not what I am.
