If god is real, he is evil.

Alright, heres a thought.

Christians believe that god made us, and hes the highest power in the land. THey tell us that we need to serve and obey him, or we got to hell. Why?

Why would someone so good and so powerfull make us serve and worship him, or suffer eternal damnation ( Think about it, being tortured and made to suffer forever. FOREVER, thats a helluva long time ). Why not just let us enjoy what he has created or better yet, just not create us at all?

I could go on forever here. IMO, and it's only an opinion, "god" was created by authority figures to provide a sense of meaning in life, set boundarys, rules, order, etc. "He" was created as a guide to how you should live a life and what reality is about. Thinking for yourself is something many people just do not jknow how to do

I'm pretty sure the Christian cop-out is that if you reject God, God will reject you, although other religions attest that God, being a supreme being of infinite wisdom and perfectness, not to mention salvation, wouldn't create a Hell, or reject anyone.

EDIT: Like the above said, authority figure for political purposes.

This is one of the main reasons it seems so obvious to me that religion is/has been used as a way to control people. Think about it. If a person or group of people threatens to punish you for acting wrong, then you can do bad shit as long they don't find out, but if GOD threatens to punish you for something, then shit- he's omnipresent and omnipotent! You'd better do what he wants!

This is one of my many reasons for totally dropping religion. (used to be a christian).

People questions all kinds of beliefs. Christianity, though, is one where you cannot practice more than one faith or you are doomed. Unlike Buddhism or Hinduism.

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?" - Epicurus

I realize christians get a bad name due to the extreme fundamentalists, and that you're generalizing christians beliefs, which is fine. Not all christians believe that if you don't accept god, you're doomed to an eternity of roasting in metal sarcophogi a la dante's inferno. just like in every other religion, there are varying viewpoints on hermeneutics and exegesis.

If there is a god, that god has a wicked sense of humor that I'll have to applaud.
