Including the manmade error of atheism. People don't become atheists until they have had a chance to be thoroughly disenfrachised about God, by things said/ written by stupid "evil" adults.

Minor correction:
People are atheists when they're born; contrary to what some Fundies may say, no one is born with a belief in any God or gods.
"People don't realize they're atheists until they have had a chance to be thoroughly disenfrachised about God, by things said/written by stupid 'evil' adults."
Fixed.
Well, that air-tight argument certainly explains why I've never believed in god in all my 35 years.
Oh, wait... no, it doesn't.
I used to fully believe in God. Even today, I'm entirely open to the idea of God existing. I'm just waiting for the evidence. If there is a God, and he was a just and loving one like I always heard, he shouldn't have a problem with me being doubtful. He's God, he's got millions of followers so he doesn't need me, and if he really loves me he won't torture me for eternity for doubting something because I never saw it with my own eyes.
I realized how silly it was when I was at age of 8.
It was same day when I realized santa ain't real and it's all about belief, so same thing goes to the god.

Strange..it was the Bible that started me on my path of slowly becoming atheist. And it was Christians who were the most important people in pushing me through the door into being fully atheist.
I believed in god for the first 51 years of my life.
For the last 22 years I have never once regretted becoming atheist. My only regret being not doing it a few decades earlier.
What is man-made christian1, is your version of a god, but you still have another 6717 one-true man-made gods to choose from. And each and every one of them will punish you to eternity and beyond for doubting them.
Bullshit.
I became an atheist through my own deductions, not from the "evil" (and I like how even you quoted it) adults who came to the same conclusion.
An error? I wouldn't say so, seeing as how I don't have to waste my time going to church on sundays or vainly praying for something instead of actually working to achieve it.
Let's see..
My grandparents on my mothers side: atheists from the day they were born
My parents: Were atheists all their lives, even on their death beds.
Myself: Atheist all of my 51 years on this planet
So, It's obvious that you failed, christian1, go back to school.
disenfranchise:
1. To deprive of a privilege, an immunity, or a right of citizenship, especially the right to vote; disenfranchise.
2. To deprive (a corporation, for example) of a privilege or franchise.
I wasn't aware God gave anyone the right to vote about things. I thought it was his way or the highway to hell.
Besides, the evil adults who "disenfranchised" me about God, were the evil people in the Bible--you know, Paul, Moses, Lot, Joshua, Jacob, Solomon, John, Elisha, to name just a few of those evil fuckers.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
