When I wasn’t an evangelical fundamental Christian I used to say, “Everything Happens For a Reason” like god or the devil is meddling in people’s lives! It’s Not True in the Way They Mean It! #deconstruction #christiandenomination #jesus

People have a deep need for comfort in life's many hardships, and to make sense of a confusing world. I can understand why religion would be appealing in that regard. But it's truly astounding and terrifying to see what great lengths people will go to get that comfort and "understanding." It's so so important for us to be able to just say I DON'T KNOW, and be at peace with that, or else we'll believe all kinds of crazy shi t to meet our needs.

Back in October of 2020 I lost one of my very few friends. A person so good, so noble, so correct in every aspect of his life, that every person who knew him felt privileged to called it a friend.
When someone came with the whole " everything happens for a reason" argument in his wake, I felt so insulted. So betrayed. So rage full. It was a nonsense cliché phrase to end the conversation. That phrase more that my friend's death started me in the road to de conversion. Today I am an atheist. Today I can understand that simply put, shit happens. And the universe doesn't care about what happened or to whom

I like what Dan Barker said about sin: “Sin is an imaginary problem with an imaginary solution.”

A highly religious relative of mine hit a deer on his motorcycle and ended up in the hospital pretty beat up. Reading the comments on his facebook post were enlightening. Person after person saying how glad they were that "God protected" him. WTF, can they not see how ridiculous a statement that is? You're not dead, just nearly dead. Must be god was protecting you.

If I protected my kids like that, I'd be in jail.

When people say " everything happens for a reason ", it means they have no interest in getting to know you or helping you.

Every does happen for a reason.

Yes, cause and effect.

We go out in the world and take our chances
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That's the way that Lady Luck dances
Roll the bones.
Why are we here?
Because we're here
Roll the bones.
Why does it happen?
Because it happens
Roll the bones.

Yeah my Dad claims he full of love and wants to love everyone. However, he thinks I have a lot of hatred. I feel it okay not to love everyone. It annoys me when he says it as they are always constantly asking for forgiveness all the time as they are always doing something wrong!

From a fundamental christian perspective life has less meaning because their “real” home isn’t here. So they don’t care as much about other people as much as they care about “spreading the word”. Most of my family is very fundamental and it’s hard because you can’t teach empathy, you have to learn it yourself. My love for others has only grown since coming out of it because I see people as people, and not aliens who need to be fixed. Thanks for your videos ❤

Any time I hear someone say "Everything Happens For a Reason" (religious or not), I know they are a shallow, non-thinking individual.

I'm bisexual and it is exhausting listening to people think that bi= not monogamous.

I just love who I love, no matter their gender. I was married to a woman monogamously for 5 years, and I've been in a monogamous relationship with a man for the last ten.

Bi doesn't equal needing both.

Thanks for reading, I love your content!!❤🎉

People say this when they haven’t experienced incomprehensible suffering that has no meaning or good outcome in the end.

I'd rather know that doing something is not good for our health or humanity than see it as wrong or sinful. We humans and all living things on Earth are NOT sinful.
