I don't go around saying, "Hey I stole 20 bucks from an old lady to buy pot for the weekend, but tomorrow I'll go to church so God can forgive me and I don't go to hell."

If you're wondering - I actually quoted this, word for word, from a friend of mine's little brother who goes to church. At such a young age we teach our kids that no matter how much you fuck up, God will forgive him if you ask him to.

And people stop taking responsibility for their actions. Aetheism is not something I hide behind, but it gives me the freedom to explore the world around me. I do all the bad things the bible says don't do - but that fucking bible was written by MAN. Dispute all you want about whether its the 'word of God' or not - a MAN wrote that book, and MAN was responsible for translating it and MAN has published millions of copies.

As long as the laws were written by MAN, they are dogma, and nothing more.
God is not a best-selling author.
