Why Christianity is Scary

I stumbled upon this quote on a site called Positive Atheism

"In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince men that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy man living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, man is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation."

-- George H Smith, Atheism: The Case Against God

Very good isn't it

Here's another reason for to avoid all forms of religion, this one is scary

From the good old U.S. of A from "Wife Swap"
The woman is called Margrette, she came back from a family that didn't belive in god.

Now we know that the TV networks use damaged people like this because it boosts their ratings. but......
I think this poor woman is a fine example of where religion is dragging America. She is the human face of religion in the US. This clip and other footage show her to be the embodiment of self rightous intolerance, deep ignorance, wincing hypocracy, hubris, gluttony, and religious insanity.

Let this be a warning to sane people.

beware all God fearin' Christians they are the spawn of Satan
