Ek moet hier saamstem dat die kerk en christenheid
grotendeels die direkte oorsprong is van die mees
gruwelike dade wat teen die mensdom gepleeg is.
Lank lewe ek al in 'n samelewing wat glo in die
bestaan van 'n god, n god so gruwelik en wreed,
'n god wat jaloers is en oorlog voer.
In verband met slawerny verwys ek na die bybel:
deuternomium 15 verse 12 tot 1, gaan lees dit
self.
Slawerny is goedgepraat deur god, en alhoewel god
vra/beveel dat slawe goed behandel moet word, gaan
hy verder deur uit te wys dat die slaaf jou tog
geld gespaar het !
As aktiewe en uitgesproke atheis is ek van mening
dat die kerk/christendom die gehele mensdom
onverruklik in die verkeerde rigting van sosiale
en geestelike ontwikkeling gestuur het.
Geloof in god moedig jaloesie, rasisme, slawerny,
seksisme en oorlogvoering aan. Hier sluit ek alle
geloofstipes in god in, nie net christelikheid
nie)
Wat 'n ramp ! Ek is so spyt dat die mens in al sy
barbaarsheid hierdie hipokrietiese lewensfilosofie
aangeneem het.
Al die goedheid wat daar wel uit hierdie geloofs
filosofie gekom het kan nie die gruwelikheid
daarvan verlig nie.
vriendelike groete
Vyg Fynbos
(ek aanvaar wel elke individu op eie meriete
indien hulle glo of nie, so moet my atheisme nie
as 'n dreigement teenoor jou persoonlike geloof
sien nie)

byvoegsel:
ander atheiste kan gerus ontwaak en uit die klas
klim !
