Well no i don't belive in God! Why ? i will tell you why .
In my family, all believers, and they are Orthodox Christians,but i am not .I do not want anyone to misunderstand me or to insult with what I will now say.
Several times I was asked by believers why I fight against God and the church, and probably a hundred times to ask me that question. To avoid constantly repeating the same thing here is the list of reasons.
Under the "fight" I mean argumented discussion and / or humor at the expense of religion, which should compel the people to open and objective and think about their different faiths and religious institutions.
1) Most of the wars fought for religious reasons. Almost any war, genocide, ethnic cleansing ... not condemned by religious institutions (except if it was necessary to condemn the enemy), and churches are often blessed their troops and atrocities they did. Stories about the crusades and the Arab conquests we are not very close, but the war in Croatia and Bosnia is. The Orthodox Church is the late 80's began to inflame nationalism and religious intolerance. SPC (political party) in this war, wanted to seize the larger territory, and war is also a good opportunity to earn (funerals, candles, etc.).
Suicide bombers are Muslim rule. They believe that as martyrs go to heaven (where he will get 72 virgins) and will also provide a ticket to paradise your entire family. It should be borne in mind that these are very religious people, who do not have a shred of doubt that they believe otherwise would not have placed explosives around.
2) Religions create (artificial) differences between people. This starts from early childhood (parents and religious) - Serbian child is not the same as the Muslim child only because their parents belong to different fan clubs (different religions). In many areas, mixed marriages are either prohibited or highly undesirable just because someone's gods have different names. This can only create hatred and intolerance that lead to conflict and violence.
3) Religion as a rule endanger health. Several dozen children die each year in America because their parents denied them medical care, believing that God would heal them. The Catholic Church caused a real genocide in Africa by propaganda against condoms. This prohibits our Orthodox contraceptive pills, coils, and abortion. Condoms are allowed, but not desirable. In doing so, the church imposes a rather unhealthy attitudes about food and sex. It is interesting that almost none of the church in America, or the code (and probably everywhere in the world) we have no ramp for the disabled, as if they are there undesirable.
4) Religion is child abuse. I am not only thinking of what they do Catholic priests or the pruning of Jews and Muslims. The imposition of religion to children from early childhood and intimidation by some omniscient and omnipresent gods is the most common psychological abuse. Children should be allowed to choose freely whether and in which God will believe when they grow up and start thinking for themselves.
5) All three Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) discriminate against half the world's population - women. In the words of Patriarch Pavle, women should cover their heads as a sign pokornisti husband and the church, and should not go to church during menstruation because they are dirty then. Paul also said that women and birth machines cannon fodder. Orthodox Jews will be three times a day to thank God because he was not born a woman. The worst situation is definitely in Islam. According to Sharia law (which is the work of God) women must be wrapped in a sheet when they leave the house, and can only leave the house, accompanied by male relatives. Women's testimony in court is never taken seriously, and women who are raped are condemned for it. In some parts of Africa and Asia still practice female circumcision, and in some extreme cases is carried out and stitching the vaginal opening.
6) Religion is almost always opposed to the progress of science. In the Middle Ages, the scientific work represented a serious offense. Giordano Bruno was burned at the stake because he claimed that there are more worlds like ours. In the eighteenth century the church was against lightning, even lightning rods are accused of an earthquake in Boston. Now the church a great dust rising about stem cell research that could be used to treat many diseases. Stem cells would probably constituted the most progress after the discovery of penicillin, but reducing the number of sick and deceased priests reduced income. Religious institutions fortunately no longer have a major impact on power, but still inhibits religion, and science negation of important scientific theories (in particular the theory of evolution).
7) Clericalization society - this is particularly the case with us. The 2009th when the financial crisis because of declining business, and workers lost their jobs when they are detained soup kitchens, the Serbian Orthodox Church received 330 million dinars from the state budget, and to improve the financial position of the clergy and monks. Church, giant crosses and others, are very often built by the state or municipal budgets from which should be financed and hospitals, social programs, etc.. Priests have more influence over the politicians in power that they are constantly drawn into khm .. opening of the colon. The courts of the priests as a rule apply double standards (Pachomius Petakov ...).
8) pressure environment. Every Serb must be Orthodox, must go to church, to fast, to observe the holidays ... If someone does not say the glory of the cross with relatives, then something is wrong with him, or is it some stupid or sectarian. If someone is working on a red or eating fat on Christmas Eve it is definitely sick. Only a total rogue and rogue or komunjara (no one knows what the above) can reject our wonderful Orthodoxy. Why do people not understand that there are individuals who do not want to be part of their flock, and who do not want to bleat to the rhythm of chanting priest.
Sport fishing is in my opinion one of the most boring activities, and generally do not understand how someone can stand next to the shore and wait, and when you catch a fish was immediately returned to the water. What is the general point of that? So far no one has forced me to fish or to watch someone as fishing. Fishermen who squat along the coast do not bother me at all. That's why I do not have the need to criticize fishing and / or fishermen. If someone likes to fish it is his personal matter, period. Their opinions on fishing shewing only if someone asks me.
On the other hand, religion is imposed on me at every step whether it is a general social phenomenon that I listed above, or the imposition of religion by the (close) environment. This bothers me and I can not keep quiet. Everyone should have a right to believe in whatever they want, but to freedom of religion there must be freedom from religion. The state would have to be completely separate from the church, and religion would have to be a personal matter for each individual.
Fortunately for us there is such as it is free speech and this is one of the most important thing in the world. Freedom of speech should be used for arguments criticizing absolutely everything. Religion (organized) and the church should not be an exception because they are the greatest evil that happened to mankind.
