The truth is, Christianity is painfully stupid when you analyze it. God got mad at the people he created, so he knocked up a virgin to give birth to himself, and then had himself tortured and killed by the people he was mad at in order to somehow save them. Then he magically came back to life and if you believe this nonsense you will go to heaven forever and ever and ever, but if you reject this silly story, God will toss you in a lake of fire for all eternity. God is Love, after all.
People are now waking up and rejecting this stupidity. Will the last one to leave the church please turn out the lights?

In the comments at One factor behind falling share of Americans who call themselves Christian. In my estimation it is the Christian war on their own children. Prohibition.
“Look, we understood we couldn’t make it illegal to be young or poor or black in the United States, but we could criminalize their common pleasure. We understood that drugs were not the health problem we were making them out to be, but it was such a perfect issue…that we couldn’t resist it.” – John Ehrlichman, White House counsel to President Nixon on the rationale of the War on Drugs.

Ummm…I’m not really the guy who should be defending the Immaculate Conception story, but that’s a pretty ridiculous mis-statement of Christian doctrine.
I’ll grant you, though, that sort of willful misunderstanding is EXACTLY the kind of thing that gets publicized to keep people away from the only organizing force in society that can threaten the all-powerful state.
The State and Religion collude. Maybe not everywhere always. But always eventually.
As it has worked out, the State is establishing its own religion, apparently finding Protestantism uncongenial to tyranny.
For the time being, Christianity is an ally, not a threat.
Don’t kid yourself. Christianity – including Protestants have supported kings for 2000 years. In fact until the Enlightenment came along, and did the ground work for the Founding Fathers, monarchy was the only game in town.
Or do you think all those Germans in the 1930s were actually practicing something other than Martin Luther’s teachings?
Or the Church of England’s support for the Monarchy (and vise versa.)
I know if I go farther back someone will say, “But that was the Catholics…” and a sh#t storm will follow.
As for the stupid if you analyze it take… I like George Carlin’s “Invisible Man in the Sky” routine. With his 10 rules and his lake of eternal fire.
