Basically it said something among the lines of ā€œChristianity is hard. Staying faithful is hard. Staying pure is hard. Not being of this world is hard. But hell is hard. Choose your hardā€.

So many questions. The main one though, is why would a loving God make life this hard? Itā€™s either be in a constant state of mental submission and self-denial or suffer for all eternity. That god is evil and is not worth being worshipped. Honestly, Iā€™m convinced that Christianity is a big scam but for probably the first year after I deconverted if somebody convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt that it actually was the truth I would have bent the knee and said the sinners prayer. Now? Hell sucks but I literally canā€™t bring myself to even begin considering to do something like that.

If Christianity actually is real then life simply isnā€™t worth living. Like, the people from r/antinatalism would actually have a point. If I found out without a shadow of a doubt that Christianity was real then I would become an activist to outlaw childbirth. It would be the only sane and sensible reaction.

To be fair, my life has been hard ever since leaving Christianity, but only because as I become more aware of the impact that radical Evangelicals are actually having on this country the more afraid and angry I become. I look at former friends with disgust, and even my own family still with plenty of love but also a degree of pity.

Sure good things have been done in the name of Christianity, but I think those have more to do with kind-hearted individuals who donā€™t give themselves enough credit. Abrahamic religion as a whole is a net negative for humanity.

Also, Iā€™m going to delete Facebook for awhile. I donā€™t use it for any useful purposes anyway, and Iā€™m tired of Christians clogging up my feed.
