Things that affirm my atheism

[TigressDem]

8. Maybe I'm just old and odd....

but I was allowed to go to many different churches.

Mom was Catholic, Dad a Methodist, but they wanted me to pick my own faith.

And wherever I went, the sermons or teachings were about God's love, not who to hate.

Even Baptist preachers with their fire and brimstone, were talking about those who abandon the path of love and service, devotion and personal sacrifice and give up sin and vice.... getting what for.

Late 90's early 2000 things started shifting in the Midwest and even California. The KKK and conservatism still had hooks in the South but it started to spread.

Pope John Paul was a conservative, Pope Benedict a former Youth for Hitler.

Pope Francis is a decent guy but up against years of crap done in the Church's name, cleaning up like Biden is having to do after Repukes.

Not all Christians are crazy whack jobs.

But the ones that are make everyone want to vomit, even other Christians that know they are NOT following the example or words of Christ by getting stuck in the Old Testament and hung up on Leviticus.
