Reading: The Lowdown on God's Showdown

As a Christian I didn't think I was too phased by the 'end times' bullshit, but it it wasn't until I walked away from Christianity that I realised how much fear-mongering I had bought into. As it turned out, while I didn't give it much thought, I actually believed a lot of it. I will try to write something to show the folly of the whole thing later.

I read an article some time ago and I guess it is fair to say that it made some serious points that were pivotal in my de-conversion. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't the reason, but it resonated with a lot of thoughts and doubts I had as a Christian. These kinds of doubts were certainly ones I would just shove to the side and not allow myself to delve too deeply into.

I asked a few believing friends (and enemies) to get stuck into the content of this article with me and have yet to get a single decent response. Most didn't even reply. I now believe this is because there really is nothing they can say.

Be warned, it's long. But here it is...
