God is Love /Atheism is an Emotional Disorder

Post by _Nightlion »

Mommy and daddy do not love me!

Who needs love anyway?

God is love?

That would mean I should have been loved!

That would mean my mommy and daddy hate me!

Love is painful!

God is painful!

There is no God!

I feel much better now!

I'll never go there again!

You can't make me!

Shut up!

NANANANANANANANANANANA!

Anything you say about God I am going to crap on!

Look, science laughs at your God, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I love science!

I love evolution!

Oh crap!

I mean, I value truths that can be reasonably demonstrated!

Yeah, now I feel better!

hmmmmmmmmhmmmmmmhmmmmmmhmmmmmm!

Was that supposed to make some kind of sense??

I think it was some sort of live transcript during an actual revelation experience.

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

If anything, I'd argue that god belief is an emotional disorder in that one needs an imaginary friend that loves them in order to take care of their emotional well-being. I guess just loving yourself and standing on your own is out of the question.

(I'm not really arguing this, but it's better than the completely unsupported idea that atheism is an emotional disorder).
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

Unsupported? I just discovered this new diagnosis. If it begins to help people heal themselves of hate-based irrationalities, there will be all the support you need. Give it time. Let is simmer on the back burners of godless minds.

Me too. With enemies like these, who needs friends?
