I’m sorry, God but it was totally unnecessary for Jesus to be killed for humanity’s sins. You already had this covered over years of Jewish law encompassing atonement. There was no need to revisit it so savagely. The crucifixion story of the death of Jesus sounds suspiciously like the Old Testament instructions for atonement from sin.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but I don’t buy into the whole Jesus resurrection thing. It seems utterly incomprehensible. The laws of nature have never been suspended in any circumstance in human history. I know Jesus’ death and resurrection story is the crux of modern Christianity but that doesn’t make it a real historical event. Jesus’ era was one of oral traditions; things weren’t written down until decades after his death. That provided time for Jesus’ tale to improve to the point of deification.
Read MoreI’m sorry, God but your followers are deliberately persecuting members of society. The LGBTQIA+ community is suffering extensive torment by religious conservatives as they claim that God doesn’t approve of their lifestyles and/or sexual orientation. No member of the church, or modern society for that matter, can state they don’t understand the long-term psychological ramifications of persistent maltreatment, exclusion, and oppression. The devastating impact is known.
Read MoreI’m sorry God but I don’t believe the bible offers much value anymore. Many chapters of it are completely ignored by its followers and it has merely become a source of cherry picking to justify any position on any subject. Western doctrines have been significantly influenced by literature other than the bible and this dogma has dismissed many biblical demands.
Read MoreI’m sorry, God but you are significantly insecure, and this has affected your treatment of humanity over many years. I would have expected a deity to have a robust constitution, but the bible has certainly painted God in a more diffident light. Even right back to the Garden of Eden, we witness God’s total insecurity.
Read MoreThe bible is frequently read with confirmation bias by those people who have already decided upon their own view of God. In my opinion, objectively speaking, there are many tales in the bible to support the viewpoint that God is one of injustice and corruption.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but you don’t seem to care if the actions of your believers causes immense pain. You certainly haven’t put any effort into supporting me in obtaining justice for sexual assault and I have had to endure religious platitudes for decades. If there are only words and inaction from powerful men including the, now former, Prime Minister then the injustice to sex crime victims continues unabated.
Read MoreScott and Jenny Morrison began attending the same Baptist church in Sydney as my family back in the early 1990s. This was the church where I was sexually abused as a child. Eventually, Scott joined the leadership team, becoming an elder and giving the occasional Sunday sermon, no doubt honing speaking skills he’d later take with him to Canberra.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but I think you might actually be totally indifferent to the lives of individuals. The Christians say you’re a loving God, but that hasn’t been my experience. My life has suffered at the hands of Christians and I continue to battle harsh Christian hypocrisy.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but the Christian Bible, is hampering gender equality in the modern era. There are many references in the Bible that encourage the submission of women. Alas, Christianity appears to be incapable of adapting their Biblical doctrine to women in 2021.
Read MoreMorrison, Australia’s most prominent Pentecostal Christian, is connected to the Capitol attack by his religion and QAnon. He is not condemning the violence committed in the name of his God nor is he condemning the actions of QAnon’s involvement in the attack.
Read MoreLet’s consider the most prominent Christian in Australia at the moment: Scott Morrison. There are some issues, however, where I know Morrison bears false witness. One of my siblings and his family have been close friends with the PM and his wife for decades; so have some members of my extended family.
Read MoreI’m sorry God but I don’t believe the Bible is such an important book for Christianity. The modern bible used by Christians contains the Old Testament so they’re holding onto some Jewish beliefs but not in the same way the Jewish people consider the Old Testament.
Read MoreI’m sorry, God but I don’t believe you support Christians controlling the world. The theocracy of Dominionism is to position Christians in influential places within society. There is a strategic and concerted effort to intertwine politics and Christianity.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you care about the ten commandments. There’s one in particular that seems to be largely ignored by Christians without any consequence: you shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but I don’t believe you care about politics. I find it alarming to see heads of countries involved in prayer to their own deity. That prayer to their particular deity becomes a club of exclusivity.
Read MoreI’m sorry God, but I don’t think Christians really take eternal life seriously. In my personal experience, the behaviour of many so called “born-again” Christians do not align with the teachings of Jesus.
Read MoreI’m sorry God but I don’t think you care about children or their safety. The churches you are associated with certainly don’t appear to care about them either.
