Twitter, Jesus, and Brainwashing: How Religious Fanatics Have It All Wrong

Twitterites told me 5 times today when I was criticizing religion that Jesus is the savior and that I must embrace him for ‘eternal life’. 

What a loaded statement!  What shenanigans!

These statements defy that which is logical and practical to thinkers who value evidence before forming a coherent thought. 

Has anyone ever proven that Jesus is the savior? 

Has anyone ever proven that there is ‘eternal life’? 

I’m spiritual and I have faith in a higher force but I’m also not a narrow-minded and ignorant fool that vigorously adheres to a strain of theories that were fabricated and sensationalized through the pen by broke authors trying to make a buck 2,000 years ago.

 Examining God, the higher power, heaven, the cosmos, the universe (or however you term ‘the afterlife’) through religious prisms that are simply speculative is doing yourself a disservice to the benefits of objectivity.

 ‘I know that I do not know’.  Socrates was a wise man that said it well. 

That is perhaps the only thing we can be sure of. 

Is Jesus the savior?  He might be.  Who knows?  Am I arrogant enough to tell someone he is?  Absolutely not.  I don’t do ignorance well. 

Human beings should question everything, especially convictions coming from religious fanatics that claim to know and speak THE TRUTH.
