At the end of the day it can all be about psychology. I was brought up a Christian, I went to sunday school, I went to church and was a member regularly but by the age of 19 I was seeing the contradictions in Christianity and simply out of logic it fell apart. I read the Bible from cover to cover several times and began writing a critique of it and realising a new Religion needed founding.
One of the many flaws was the concept of the Biblical God being remotely good.
This spook intends to torture billions of souls in Hell for all eternity "In a lake of fire". With not even the possible release of death. How is that good or justified? i wouldn't do that to my worst enemy, I wouldn't do it to a rapist or peadophile, Sure i'd hang them but i wouldn't torture them ergo I am morally superior to the biblical god.
Then there is god burning the Earth and oceans in revelation..how is that good? or rolling up the universe like a scroll? what about all the innocent life forms, fish, whales etc?
Then geology, demolishes the Bible, not to mention paleontology, biology, science, history and archaeology.
Perhaps it is only with intelligence that a person can deprogramme themselves of Christianity. If a person cannot do it they fall short. Perhaps they aren't bright and therefore are not a path to the superman anyway.
also ...If a person lies to themself (as Christians do) ..how can they be trusted ?
And the Japanese proverb " A stupid friend is worse than an intelligent enemy."
Having said all that anyone is free to join Creativity, set up their own church and if there is anything they don't understand or need explaining i'm sure one of our Reverends can explain it politely.
