Why do I talk so much about God? Because theism, mainly Christianity, has permeated our governments and judiciaries, motivated a coup, repealed a woman's right to choose, curtailed the rights of LGBTQ people, and is seeking to dissolve the separation between church and state. 🧵

People often ask me why I speak out so much about a God I don't believe in. The post below is a good example of why. OTHER PEOPLE believe in God to such an absurd degree that they want all things to be subsumed under their version of theism. I will not be silent about that.

I'd ask him to confirm or deny if he's the same God who drowned all creation, murdered the firstborn of a nation, and annihilated fetuses, infants, children, and animals for nothing more than the "sin" of being born to the "wrong" parents. If yes, I'd tell him to fuck right off.
If you died as an atheist and then met God, what would you tell him?

"Atheism is only rejecting a claim that there is a God. Atheism isn't a belief system. This is atheism in a nutshell:
You say: 'There is a God.'
I say: 'Can you prove that?'
You say: 'No.'
I say: 'I don't believe you then.'"

How did I end up atheist after being a Christian for over 25 years? By taking Christianity and the Bible more seriously than I ever had before in order to win some Mormon friends to Christianity. My deep dive into theology and the origins of the Bible was what made me an atheist.

Theists who say atheists have no basis for making moral assessments of "good", "evil", "right', "wrong", "should", "ought", etc. are doing nothing more than admitting their own lack of an empathic compass. Needing a God to define your morality implies that you're amoral yourself.

If Eve ate of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil AFTER God told her not to, then by the Bible's own claim she clearly had no way of discerning good from evil BEFORE she made the decision to eat, and thus could not be guilty for willfully disobeying God in the first place.

I was a Christian for half my life. I've heard ALL the evidence. In the end, it was a deep and thorough review and rehash of ALL the evidence in a desperate attempt to keep my faith that led to my eventual atheism. Theism is bunk precisely because there IS NO credible evidence.
