Gods have been sanctioning suffering and death ever since they were created. Human sacrifice, holy war, enslavement, and general mistreatment of nonbelievers have been the most visible result of religions throughout the history of the wolrd, but no god has been worse in his treatment of mankind than that of the three Hebrew faiths. You Christians, Muslims, and Jews worship a god who has not only done nothing to stop the evil of this world, but is in fact responsible for most of it. Your god is directly responsible for the deaths of six million civilian holocaust victims, and for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians fighting on both sides of the conflict surrounding it. Your god is responsible for the death, suffering, and fear in the hearts of every person living in the midst of terrorism in the middle east. Your god ended the lives of nearly seven thousand in one act of His terrorism on September 11th, 2001, and also the lives of so many American, Afghan, Iraqi, and other soldiers and civilians in the ensuing conflicts. The peoples of Sub-Saharan Africa live in constant turmoil, civil unrest, and war because of politically disruptive colonial governments established in the name of saving the heathens. Native North American populations were literally decimated by the military forces and deseases by Europeans for the glory of your god. His name is also carried proudly by a certain Christian sect of the American West (Mormons) developed specifically for the justification of genocide of local native groups. A bloody conflict has continued unceasing for over three hundred years in Northern Ireland, all over the promises of your god. The Spanish Inquisition was the most significant, though not the only, case of men being tortured and made to suffer for the glory of your god. Nearly a third of the Western world's population destroyed itself in His name during the three major crusades of the middle ages. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries brought wars between the Catholic and Protestant states of Europe that did not see a stretch of peace lasting longer than ten years during the entire span.
Your God is behind the sword that kills more men than any devil or any disease. Your god is the cancer of this earth. I don't give a damn what scripture says about peace and love and all that when I see the facts of history in front of me. If this is righteousness, if this is peace and love, and if this is what it means to be faithful to your god, I don't think it will be too hard to see why I'm a skeptic. That is real which is real in its consequeces. I've said before that God is very real when people truly believe it, and use it to rule their lives. This is how they use it - this is what your god is. Peace and love my ass, your god is a warmongering peddler of suffering and death. Your god is the enemy of all that is good and right. All that is backwards and wrong in this world starts with God - his peace is our war, his love our hatred, his cleanliness our filth, his health our pestilence, and his glorification is our destruction. This is not my opinion. This is the fact of history.
