Why I Love Atheism

-


As a young girl, I was convinced that God was good. I don't know why I pictured him as white, maybe it had to do with the colorful Jehovah witness magazines which portrayed him as a grey haired white old man.Anyways, I loved him, in his pure white robe, his hands reaching out for me, maybe sharing in my pain when I fell and hurt my knee. It was therefore puzzling to me why he would want people to get burnt, people that he loved. Why did he want them to be in pain for eternity? This did not sound like a caring God at all. I buried my head in the sand. I wanted him to be a good gd so I did not focus on his morbid side so much.

I am now an adult woman of sound mind, and I don't believe that the god of the bible exists, and if he existed, I think he would be the most evil character,and I wouldn't worship him. I am enjoying my atheism now. Its beautiful being an atheist, not having to wonder why the Holy Book does not flow properly. Why it allows grown men to kill babies and capture young girls, victims of war for sex slavery. It feels good to know that it is all fiction. I don't have to feel terrified about those things that happened in the old testament.

Its beautiful to be an atheist, no preachers are going to manipulate me, and extort me of my money. I have my Sundays to enjoy. Nowadays, my Sundays are so relaxed compared to my "religious" Sundays. My knees don't suffer on the cemented church floors as they used to. I don't have to follow a book to know what's good and what's bad (I didn't need the book to know these anyways). I am free of guilt now, I don't have to wonder what I did wrong for a misfortune to come my way. I am free from emotional turbulence, and its fun!

Cesare Borgia was one of the illegitimate sons of a pope called Alexander V1,he was trained in the church and eventually became the archbishop in his teenage years. He was a tyrannical man. Valiant, fearless and merciless, he ruled with a heavy hand. He was the modern day slay king, but very power hungry.  He was deceitful and very randy, sleeping with many women and engaging in shady deals. It is even suspected that he had sexual escapades with his own sister Lucrezia. He was considered the most handsome  man in Italy and he seemed to know it as he wore the most fashionable clothes.He got syphilis at a youthful age of 20 years. Borgia employed Leonardo Da Vinci as his engineer and military architect. The two had a sexual relationship and Da Vinci, having an artistic soul painted Borgia many times. His handsome face from the paintings was used for centuries as an inspiration to represent Jesus Christ. Christians worshipped and adored his image for a long time. History has re...

Why are Atheists Always So Angry?

-
   Atheists have been long been misunderstood as bitter people. People who went through bitter experiences and are now channeling their anger to "God". We have been told about our mental health being in a poor state. We have been called lost and misguided. These words are by no means polite, they are pretty much accusatory, of ignorance and weakness on our part. Strangely enough, believers don't understand why such comments would put us off. In fact, believers expect atheists to respect every bible verse that springs out of their mouth, they expect atheists to cow when they threaten them with doom, curses and hellfire, to take their words so seriously. I consider this a very poor attitude towards civility. I as an atheist, am angry, at the continuous religious indoctrination of every generation that comes forth. I am angry that I cannot openly proclaim my atheism lest people get a bad image of me, may see me as a byword, may even start alienating me. I am  angry that athe...

Kina the TV series and it's portrayal of atheism

-

   It is heartbreaking that most religious people have the idea that atheism is the symbolism of evil. Most have the tendency to think that atheist minds are under the influence of the lord of the underworld, namely , 'Satan'. It is expected that a non believer of religion  has no conscience to steer him or her away from evil, and that the ability to do good comes from a god. This is quite wrong since we all know that animals such as dogs and elephants have demonstrated acts of kindness despite them not being followers of any religion. That aside, I got a few chances to watch Kina the Kenyan TV series and wasn't much shocked to find out that Nana, the villain in the story is an atheist. In one of the episodes, she opens up about not believing in God. This is quite good evidence that atheism is equated to evil here in Kenya. Believers are likely to label you as a Satan adherent if they find out you are an atheist, despite atheists not believing in the biblical...
