If the thought of this appalls you then maybe you should reconsider that I said the atheist's deepest problem is that he hates God.
Do you hate Him? Do you love Him?
Answer honestly and you will understand why your post is so stupid.

OK. Let's hear it.
Because I can't think of anything that isn't taught in primary school.
Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.
I really have to agree with the wisdom of Jesus here, because I really hate fig newtons. In fact, I think the only thing that could possibly make me hate figs more is if I thought figs didn't exist.

Unfortunately fig rolls are unavailable in NZ. 😞

I feel the exact opposite since I extracted myself from the religious dogma you believe in and that you recite here on this forum. I woke up and came to my senses.
If I (an American) "came to my senses" regarding America (or, at minimum, enough of those things to compel me to reject the majority of what America stands for), I highly doubt that I would spend a large portion of my internet time involved in the refutation of America, its ideals or even its reality.
If I truly felt that I had come to my senses regarding America, I would necessarily replace it with something superior, something more preferred... and then move one.
So, FMF, a two-parter.
One, what is it that you have replaced Christianity with, now that you have come to your senses?
Two, why are you spending your time on something you have so clearly rejected?

Fine.I understand what you are saying about yourself. But what you would do doesn't really have anything to do with me.

It's a package of religious beliefs. I have not replaced it.
Two, why are you spending your time on something you have so clearly rejected?

I don't understand.
Do you mind elaborating?
