“Marijuana is the Gateway Drug.”
Right now, military service, and being flogged off with excessive pain killers, is the gateway. Thank you for your service.
“And Darwin is the Gateway Science.”
No, pretty much anything that the church insists, and doesn’t stand up to scrutiny, is the gateway. Once you realize they lied to you about gays, or muslims, or liberals, or Fox, or Trump, you’ll lose trust in them.
“First it's evolution.”
I was comfortable with evolution when i was a believer.
“Then comes plate tectonics and the Big-Bang.”
Neither of which caused me any theological problems.
“ Then comes Athiesm.”
Mostly came from reading the bible and asking questions. The bullshit drove me out of the church, out of Christainity, out of any belief.
“Then comes self-loathing and misanthropy,”
Nope. I’m okay with myself and quite a bit of the rest of the species. Except some of you who know who you are.
“which leads to elitism and superiority complexes.”
I hate myself, therefore i’m the superior specimen? How’s that work?
"The resulting social ostracization”
Actually, i was ostracized more as a Mormon than anything else.
"leads to homoeroticism and other perversions.”
Um….no.
"The insatiable demand for money to
fund extravagances coupled with the sloth that accompanies the welfare check”
This is the unfounded belief sort of thing that made me lose all patience with the first five churches i joined.
"Finally, the abuser is no longer
able to feel for his country and multiculturalism takes over.”
Total BS. I was a Navy Lifer, most of it atheist, and a patriot.
“I've seen it happen again and again.”
No, you have not.
