[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If someone who believes in one god has to disavow another god, they essentially also deny their own belief in the same process.

[b]I became an atheist when I realized that all of these “traditions” were made up. Like literally just made up. [/b]

So that the church could make money.

And that was just that. [/quote]

Yup. Just some dudes sitting around making it up.

[b]In fairness, some people really do think they've had a revelation.  and want to spread the good news to others, to help in their salvation.  [/b]

But still, it's all made up.[/quote]

NP.

The people who "really thought they had a revelation" were what we'd call 'seriously mentally ill' today.  They may have been well intentioned, but they had schizophrenia, hallucinating, or had some other brain breakdown.

I think some other people had motivations to "make things up" - things that benefited them, their subset of people, or the hierarchy.

When you realize how similar they are in how all religions were made up... there's no going back. The veil has been lifted.[/quote]
