Dear Believer
by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

It's difficult to use the rape of children as humor - I'm not saying it can't be done, but, in my opinion, Louie CK misses the humor mark on this one. He hits the shock value, which is a little humorous. David Spade might be able to pull off this topic as humor a little better. It's a tough one.
If he did it for awareness raising - props for that.
allowed that one. I guess humor comes in different forms. The Pope would poop his holy pants if he saw this.
Maybe he should see it and evaluate his whole concept of the church. There is obvious problems within the Catholic religion for something like this to appear. As for me, I thought it was hillarious and maybe a sign of things to come?
This can't be humor!
It is a genuine interview isn't it?
I believe this to be the absolute truth!!!!

Catholic = Fuck the underaged boys.
Protestant = Fuck the underaged girls.
So please, if you're reading this, don't hurt the feelings of Muslims, because we're non-white, from poor countries, and we practice a religion of peace. We'll only kill you if you offend us, or hurt our feelings. Stick to degrading those Catholics. They're so much more evil than our freedom fighters.
Do I detect a bitter, angry little Christian out there?
You're right: Islam sucks too.
There, better?
All religions and denominations have one thing in common. They target and scam the elderly to build their finances.

It appears you live in the world of fears... you need to visit the other worlds :-)

(Consider this: if you aren't convinced by the threat of punishment in Islam's hell, why should we be convinced by the threat of your God's hell?)
BTW, who are you really?
Well, what if we do repent? Will we get out of hell? Because if the answer is no, there isn't much of an incentive, is there?
Whoever taught you that rubbish should be locked up for child abuse. Your beliefs, whatever they may be, appear to have made you into an extremely unpleasant person. Wherever did you get the idea that we would want to become anything like *you*?
FUCK ALL WORLD RELIGIONS AND WORLD GOVERNMENTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please register and continue to post, I like the way you think. I was a christian for over 40 years. My family has roots in Pentecost, Baptist and Mormonism. I was an ordained minister for 5 years and spent most of my adult life in ministry of one kind or another.
To answer your question, "Is there no end to human folly, to human ignorance and fear?"..................Not until we end Religion in all of its forms. As Christopher Hitchens so aptly puts it, "Religion poisons everything!"
Thanks for your insights and Welcome to Ex-Christian.Net
