thought of the day.266
The ugliness of Christianity is no more evident then when a believer beholds a beautiful newborn child and sees her as a sinner—a fallen creature worthy of eternal torture— and believes her only hope of escaping being gathered up with the other “goats” and hurled into a lake of fire is being baptised and growing to believe certain things. From birth to death, nothing poisons life like Christianity’s threat of hell.

Does the phrase "dirty sinner" ever occur in scripture or is that your own "dirty" twist on it?
I see you are still borrowing from the ideas in Christianity and twisting those ideas to support your own presuppositions and worldview.
I grew up in a Christian environment and go to church on a regular basis. I have never been called or taught to believe that people are "dirty sinners."
I have kids of my own and I teach them about Christianity. I have never once told them that they are "dirty sinners."
This sounds a lot like Hitchens and his false premise of "religion poisoning everything". A far better premise would be that "everything poisons religion".
Hi Anthony, I will take your point to heart and rewrite it. Thanks
