What I wrote at the New York Times about the magical resurrection of the Magic Jeebus Man.

New York Times - What It Means to Worship a Man Crucified as a Criminal. A God who allows suffering is a mystery, but so is a God who suffered.

I wanted to write this: "Why would the New York Times let a fucking moron write bullshit about the Jeebus zombie?" but it would never have been published.

This is what I did write at the New York Times:

When I was a gullible brainwashed child in the 1950's I had to listen to nuns repeatedly say "Christ died for your sins." These days I realize Christianity is the most ridiculous religion ever invented, especially the magical resurrection of Jesus. The only evidence they claim to have is 500 dead invented witnesses. Dead witnesses, even if they're real, are not evidence for anything. When I explain why a resurrection is impossible the Christians say God can do anything. Zero evidence provided.

I will never be able to understand why there are millions of people who waste their entire lives being completely wrong about everything.

I looked at some of the other comments. There was a lot of extreme stupidity. Fortunately, there were some good comments written by normal people, aka atheists. This is one of them:

How can someone ostensibly considered “intelligent” believe this garbage and write a column like this? He of course glosses over the unanswerable question of why there is suffering, evil and pain in this world if the world was created by this supposed all powerful benevolent creator. And if that supposed creator is indeed all powerful, why doesn’t he use that power abolish suffering, evil and pain? Perhaps that creator isn’t so powerful or benevolent? What a bunch of hogwash.

When will humans wake up to reality? Religion is a form of mythology, pure and simple. And a mythology that is responsible for a great deal of suffering and evil in the world throughout history up to today. Time to grow up humanity. Admit the truth. Stop believing lies. Stop making up stories.
