Break the Cycle

Break the Cycle
Written by: Greg McConnell Dec. 12, 2010

Everybody values the things that are important to them for their own reasons. I, as well as billions of others think that the PEOPLE (Not the Gods) that decided what things are to be valued, and what things are to be shameful: the people who wrote the Christian Bible, as well as the people who preach it, are very very mistaken. What is considered a good moral life is completely subjective, and different for every individual. To follow a set of 2000 year old-outdated guidelines on morality in a modern world is absurd. The truth is that the story of Christianity can be proven to be no more than just 1 of almost an infinite number of possible options for how the universe came into existence. There is too much variety in our beautiful world for the Bible to apply to everything, and there are too many mistakes and grey areas in religion; in their logic and in their moral righteousness. People are inherently good; why don't we trust them to do what is right? There are cultural norms in our society, and these norms would go mostly unaffected if religion was taken out of the picture. Parents would teach their children how to behave in the same way they do now, and their children would teach their children. Let's break the cycle; don't celebrate Christmas, celebrate giving, and the love and strength of family. Don't say God bless you after somebody sneezes, and don't use Jesus Christ as a curse word. If you don't believe it, don't support it, and if you do believe it, I challenge you to just, read the Bible. After all, the fastest way to become an Atheist is to read the bible. Keep an open mind, and compare the choices that God makes with the choices that you would make. It also doesn't hurt to keep a copy of "Grimm's Fairy Tales" handy for references.
