Cutting Christianity from your life.

Early in life I as subjected to the hate that Christianity propagates in people. Since I have come to realise just what a con the whole system is. The churches have convinced people that there is a magical fairy that created the world in seven days and watches everything you do and hears every thought you have. Additionally if you don't do what other people say he wants you to do you are going to a special place that will punish you for eternity. He won't help you out and will punish you for being bad. I'm also told that the Christian fairy is all good, all powerful and all knowing. That is an obvious lie as an all good god would not allow the hate and suffering to propagate in the world in his name, or is the fairy just not all powerful? Perhaps doesn't know what is going on?


But I digress, the Christian fairy tale of an all good, all knowing and all powerful god is just that: a fairy tale. Over the past couple of years it has been increasingly occurring to me that to passively let Christianity go unchallenged in my life is to allow this lie to propagate unchallenged. It is said that evil spreads by the inaction of good people and I think it is high time that I stop allowing this evil to spread.


I have been trying to cut Christian influence from my life and having grown up in the States and currently living in England I have to say it is so hard to get rid of the corrupting influence of this insidious lie. it is so ingrained into the cultural perspective that you are expected to celebrate their holidays even if you are against the religion. The biggest case if of course Christmas. Let's look at the very name of the holiday (Holy Day) Christ Mass. The day that the Christians celebrate the birth of their demigod. (Let's not even mention that Jehovah laid down a commandment not to worship other god and that means to worship Jesus is to break the commandment and to be doomed to hell). So I feel resentful of the time and money that I am expected to pay out for a celebration that I firmly disagree with.

I have had multiple mental and physical health professionals tell me that I just have to let it happen and that it is futile to try and cut it out of my life, but I am not expected to celebrate Ramadan or Chanukah. Buddhists aren't expected to worship the Christ or celebrate the co-opted day of Christian feasting and commercial gluttony. This doesn't even take into consideration the hassle I get from my family and the paradox I am trying not to teach my children. I don't believe in god but I celebrate Christmas? That is sending a very mixed message. I just don't agree, the Church has caused far more bad than good and it is time that I take a stand for what I believe which is doing good for goodness sake and to step out of the fear/hate mongering that the Church teaches (Do good and save others souls or you will burn in hell! Be a good GodFEARing Christian.)
