Why I am not a Christian

A Free Man's Worship
Man is a produce of causes that could not foresee their end result. Man's growth, origin, hopes, fears, loves and beliefs are the outcome of accidental allocations of atoms.
All of man's achievements will die with the universe.
Men who believe in gods are sausages.
Man created God to be all-powerful and all-good.
Since the world is corrupt and bad we have two choices, either God is evil or God is non-existent.
To be free we must hate God and deny Him or we will remain lame and powerless under His tyranny.
Freedom only comes to those who no longer seek God's goodness.
The world was not made for us.
A free man worships his creations and triumphs over the odds against him. If he is to create something good and it is a success he should praise himself and his creation.
Through love we should help others to become free worshipers.
Man is brief and powerless.
