Religion has been a motivator of violence, bigotry, deceit, and stealing freedom. It is time for it to be challenged, and those who question their own faith deserve a chance to see the other side. For more info click here

Christians: You cannot marry an unbeliever (non-Christian)

That's right. You Christians who are dating/married-to non-believers "need to stick it out" and pray for your partner's salvation: http://carm.org/should-christian-date-or-marry-unbeliever

We all know the verse, but allow me to quote it anyway....
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? - 2 Corinthians 6:14 NIV

Apparently the non-Christian spouse is wicked, akin to demon spawn or something. Another bullshit claim made by a text meant to assimilate. Of course, it makes sense given the fact that a multicultural/secular society would weaken the reigns that organized religion would have on a populace. There is no better tactic than implementing xenophobia and a smear campaign to blind believers from the truth: We non-Christians are no different than you. Hindu, Muslim, Pantheist, Pagan, Monist, Buddhist, atheist, deist, etc...... It doesn't matter. You Christians aren't any holier than anyone else, and if you are, then you sure haven't proven it. When you meet that special person, religious/political belief is about the last thing stopping you from relishing in the beauty of companionship. I would like to think that most Christians have advanced past this discrimination that the Bible calls for. Many atheists such as myself surely have: http://www.happyatheistforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=5522 and http://forums.intpcentral.com/showthread.php?10940-Dating-Christians-%28atheists%29

Here is an example of watered-down Christianity's take on marriage:
5) While there can be nothing wrong with dating a non-Christian, you never know when a casual date will turn into a lifelong love. (http://www.fusion101.com/guide/dating_non_christians.htm)
That is quite the contrast with the Bible and Carm.org, eh? I've noticed more and more Christians refusing to take the Bible literally, or they merely pick and choose bits and pieces of it for their own convenience. Isn't that queer? Even various Christians themselves find their beloved texts a tad ridiculous. Frankly, I do not blame them at all.

First Post: Why I write

To put it simply, I am making use of a modern media outlet to voice non-believers' opinions. Religious folk own millions of churches, several national television channels, and plenty of political support. It is only fair that the religious are challenged just as every other belief system is. Christianity runs rampant within the western world, especially here in the United States. This blog, along with many others, shall serve to promote social freedom, debunk myths concerning science and atheists, and challenge god himself (god = relgion/faith, Christianity mostly). Personally, I see this whole religion ordeal as a gentlemen's challenge. Whoever wins the debates, finds the most evidence, and provides superior logic shall be the victor. We are seeing a decline in Christianity and organized religion within the very regions who (for so long) harbored such faith. Is "God" dying? If so, then this blog shall assist in pushing that blade of reason through God's unseen heart and aiding those in doubt. Knowledge, reason, stamina, and intuitive thought will be our greatest tools. You believers can stick to your old books and faith. Let us see who wins the challenge.
