Fairy tales, eh? Like that the universe could not have possibly created itself and all that came to exist must necessarily have an origin which we know as God? Or are you referring to the incredibly well-attested resurrection of Christ, which most people dismiss simply on the grounds that "I assume this is impossible, therefore it didn't happen"?
Christianity is a religion that's about sharing the love of God with everyone you know. There's harsh truths that come with that, yes, but does someone really love you if they don't tell you the truth? And how do you measure which ideas and concepts are "responsible" for human suffering? I could argue that the godlessness of the 20th century has led to the horrifying deaths of tens of millions of people in the 20th century and a depression/loneliness epidemic that's so agonizing that people are creating wonders of technology to cure it in their futile effort to deny the existence of their souls. If religion was itself responsible for so much suffering, then why were communist nations, which rejected religion entirely, the cause of so many deaths? Surely if religion is such an idiotic and backwards idea, rejecting it should lead to an utter paradise, right?
I outgrew my atheism over five years ago and I thank the Lord for it. There's plenty of room for you in this gathering too, fellow.
Wow you're dumb.
