Hm. But why can't you do these things without a God? God and religion has justified many atrocities and even today, horrible ways of thinking. This is because the bible teaches absolute morality, an unchanging system of morals of how to be a good person, but societies definition of 'good' is constantly changing.

Nowadays we accept Gays and Transgenders, we promote secularism and the right for women to have control over their own bodies and lives. These things were not present in the bible in the way they are in modern society.

This just demonstrates that being a good person doesn't happen because of the bible; being a good person happens in spite of the bible slowing us down with its never-changing system.

Just because some of it sounds nice and makes you feel good doesn't mean it's nice overall and certainly doesn't mean those nice ways of life are absent without the bible - this just isn't true.

I think that if you look within yourself, you'll realise that although the bible may have put things into bite-sized chunks for easy guidance, it was already in you from the beginning, and being part of a system that steals money, punishes non-believers and threatens you will eternity in hell if you don't get on your knees in joy... to me, that's just not right. That's evil, hiding behind a mask of nice, surface ideas.

This song demonstrates the tragic outcome of turning to the church:

Basically, it's all fun and games as they welcome you in, of course! That's how they get your money to pay for their $23 million homes:

But as soon as you come to them reaching out with something that isn't in line with their beliefs, you're trash to them.

I don't think you need it, nor do you need to support it. I think all the good is inside you already.

Something to think about
