Paul Washer

Wow! This guy is why I am an atheist. Not really but his message reminds me of the Salem Witch Trials. Using hell to get followers. Fear is what colts use to gain loyalty. This man should not be preaching to children. His words are poisonous.

I think his message is probably an accurate portrayal of Christianity which makes me angry. I am angry because people who say they are Christians don't even know the text of the Bible. People allow this insane religion to continue and do not even know what the base of the religion says. It is a negative, fear based religion. In order to do good you have to have an imaginary figure wave his finger and say, "You do good/worship me or else you will be tortured in a pit of fiery hell." You can't do good just for the simple fact that it is the right thing to do, we have to do good because of the fear of hell/god.

I know a lot of Christians. I love these people. But I am not going to shy away from saying that this religion is NUTS!!!! And Paul Washer is another example of this. Watch this video I found on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wX_BPopbKI&annotation_id=annotation_38217&feature=iv If any logical, free thinking individual finds this man's words are not that of a cult leader then I am afraid for that person and the society they live in.

This should be stopped! Fear should not be used to manipulate people. And Christianity is a fear based religion. Paul Washer is not the only baptist minister that has this type of ministry. Visit www.godhatesfags.com and you will find the same message.

I have faith that the world will one day realize that they don't need fear to be a good person. That the world will one day be free of an evil dictator named God. People are smart. They just need to use that intelligence.
