Atheism

Am I an atheist? Yes, but before I get into as to why, let me ask you a question.
1, Why are you a Christian ? or a Muslim ? or why are you a follower of the Jewish faith ? or any of the many other of religions ?
I’ll tell you why, Quite simply Its because you where born into a family that followed one of these religions. It was in know means your personal decision to be a follower of any religion.
If you where born in India you are probably Hindu or Buddhist, if you where born in Spain your probably Catholic, If by chance you where born in the Middle East your 99% sure of being a follower of Islam.
The point I’m trying to make is that for the most part you’ve had very little to say as to what religion your following.
In other words you’ve put a monkey on your back that you’ll carry for the rest of your life, a monkey that you know very little about but you’ll carry the burden and believe that you’re doing the right thing by excepting it. Why ? Can’t you think for yourself, why do you except the directions of others in blind obedience to a theology that you know so little about, and never question its authenticity.
If you’re such a believer in an almighty God, believing that he and he alone was the creator of all, then don’t you think that it’s time to question his motives.
Why is it that most wars are committed in his name?  Why is it that we will kill each other, steal from each other, rape each other, and do anything in our power to get the better of our fellow man all with Gods blessing.
One of the worst problems with religion is that there are just to many of them, all believing that there interpretation is the only one, and at the end of time only they will be permitted to enter those pearly gates.
There are 28 major religions on the planet, Catholics being the largest and with fewer divisions, The Orthodox believers, who where at one time part of the Catholic group, have three or more divisions, Greek orthodox, Russian Orthodox and Romanian Orthodox, there teachings are very closely related.
The Muslims have four distinct divisions, Sunnis, Shiites, Ismaili and the Sufi.
One thing the differences Muslim sects have in common is that they all feel it necessary to kill one another, I wonder just what God taught these people about loving and caring for one another.
Of the protestant Groups the Baptist are by far the most divided, They all call themselves Baptist but go their own way in interpreting the Bible.
If you truly believe in God you had better get it together and  believe in one way. Face it if you where God you’ve got to have one hell of a headache.
All Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, Jesus was the leader, and of course as you all know a Jew.
Jesus did not want to form a new church, all he really wanted was to make changes in his own religion which had become totally corrupt. So the Jews of that time in our so gallant history had the poor guy strung up. He was becoming the competition, and at that time there just was not enough greed to be spread around, so good by Jesus.
