“I used to make bad decisions and screw up my life.”

“Then I went to church and them there people explained to me that I shouldn’t make bad decisions.”

“Now I’m clean and sober because jesus helped me.”

No you idiots, you helped yourself.

This is why religion spreads through prisons, poor countries and alcoholics and drug addicts cling to it like a life preserver.

You don’t need jesus to know not to drink a fifth of whiskey every day.

Religion is for the weak-minded.

As for funding their stupid programs with my money they need to use the TITHE money they scam from the believers. That’s what it’s for isn’t it?

Therefore, all religions are immoral in the eyes of an objective atheist, but people like George Bush keep on sinning against reason without even knowing it!
