Christianity Is Not Too Big to Fail

Helping it along…off the cliff

I sometimes hear the complaint: “Why do you care if I’m a Christian? I don’t care if you’re an atheist, so why can’t you just leave us alone?”

But we don’t, in fact, exist in a live-and-let-live-world. The evidence is substantial that Christianity is harmful to our culture and our health. Richard Carrier has made the case for this in his recent essay, What’s the Harm?, but we’re hammered by headlines almost daily about scary Christian aggressions against the world, e.g. provoking the end times and the rape of children in the church’s care.

The answer? “Yes, I care that you’re a Christian. Chances are, you’re a co-conspirator, an enabler.”

The Debunking Christianity blog has been amassing the arguments against this malignant religion for a long time. There are so many great articles in its archives that deserve to be kept front-of-mind. I asked John Loftus to nominate some of this favorite articles from the last few years, and we will be re-presenting them, a few at a time.

• Want to learn more about one of The Worst Christian Brands?

• What about the Five Most Asinine Christian Arguments?

• Loftus defended Bill Maher’s movie Religulous at the Society of Biblical Literature.

• The Top Seven Ways Christianity Is Debunked by the Sciences

• The Jesus in the Gospels Never Existed (even if Jesus of Nazareth did)

Please feel free to share these articles on social media. Keep them going! David Fitzgerald has said that Christianity not too big to fail. Let’s help that process along.
