I felt annoyed when I heard someone who left church when they were told by someone not mix with people who not christian or catholic. What day in age are we living in 2018-2019?
I hate it when some religions particularly christians today in the UK say it is wrong to be gay, you will go to hell because you are gay, or don't believe in God, deny evolution and the age of the Earth when there is evidence. Wasn't part of the christian faith to actually Thy love your neighbour not go to hell because you are gay, or don't believe in God.
I am atheist and I treat everyone like everybody else respectfully whether they are religious, non-religious, gay and so on. It makes my blood boil when I hear this kind of intolerance still being spread about, its like going back to the days of the dark ages when witch hunts were going on.

There are basically TWO types of Christianity...

You just happened to come into contact with the wrong type.

Anyone who worships an all powerful all knowing creator is evil, because if that God was real not only could he stop all suffering but he intentionally made that suffering happen.

Some religous people offend me and some are OK. Just like some atheists offend me and some are OK.

I am gay and yet I have met some Chistians who were nice to me and OK with me being gay. They didn't treat me badly because of it. So I know from personal experience that not all Christians are bad people. I've also met some atheists who were very arrogant and liked looking down on certain people too.

This conclusion was the exact reason why I left the church.

Yeah it's always annoying when fairytales and imaginary friends (including but not limited to religion) are attempted given significance in real life. They should never affect anything real (except for holidays (read days off)! :mrgreen: ).

Stopping suffering could only come with stopping free will.

This says it best:

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Same for stopping evil. The only way to prevent evil is to turn all human beings into remote-controlled robots under the complete control of an intelligence that is incapable of committing evil itself.

Plenty of nonreligious people are also homophobic, judgmental, entitled, arrogant

I'm not religious, but I will say this: To a supreme being outside of time and space, our current pain and suffering is a drop in the bucket. We're already dead and buried in this being's eyes.

I am afraid of going to hell really much. I do not want to suffer after death.

I hate immodest avatars and photographs and films (for example with visible breast cleavage), but I do not hate people who use them because hating another human is a sin and I want not to be hated. I "fear" that it is a sin (maybe even mortal) to write post or posts in topics in which immodest images are present. It is problematic for me because I want to write a lot.

I want everybody to be holy and sinless and being not punished because of their sins. It is so easy to sin, I'm full of inclinations to evil.
