Christianity as a Culture

Christianity is a "we're better than you" religion that openly disdains all other religions, including other Christians. It creates a highly exaggerated sense of self-importance that is sustained by the oppression and judgment of others. Christians see the world as a battlefield where God is at war with the Devil. The adversaries are fighting this war through human surrogates with Christians as the good guys and everyone else as the bad guys. And since this is a holy war, all is fair. It is ok for Christians to be dishonest in order to gain power to fight for Jesus.

For example, if a Christian were to kill me for posting this web page, publicly the churches would condemn it as murder and wrong. However, in their hearts they would be thankful that some one killed me because I am an instrument of Satan and therefore deserve to die. I would be an enemy killed in battle. At a minimum, they are out there praying for my soul, because I am lost, and they are found.

From the perspective of a non-believer, I see Christians in general as self-righteous, hate-filled, and indulging in behavior that is very bizarre. If someone is speaking in tongues, either God is speaking through them, or they are so mentally ill that they are hallucinating that God is speaking through them. Is God really speaking through them? Well, if God is all powerful then can't he speak for himself? If not, God has a problem. If so, then the Christian who thinks he's speaking for God has a problem. The bottom line is, Christianity is a cult, actually, thousands of related cults, and as a culture, it sucks.
