I cannot even think of  a subject line so sad is your display of hate...
 
Here is a thought.
What if you are right and there is no god...
then after our physical life on earth there is nothing.... What have you accomplished through your beliefs except to spread hate, grief, and a me myself and I attitude..
 
However, consider for a moment that I as a follower and believer in Jesus Christ as the  one and only God, the only way to Heaven and peace in the hereafter ,,,, what if I am right . Then for only believing not for my works on this earth I will spend eternity in a spiritual place called heaven where all peace and joy will be present for an eternity with my loved ones.  Where yourself will be separated from the Almighty and exist  in nothingness alone forever....
 
Darn what could be the right choice?
 
Because I am forgiven does not make me perfect, I make mistakes everyday just as you do.  However my faith and the writings of the Holy Bible have taught me  to forgive others for the hurts inflicted on me and to forgive myself for the  hurts I inflict on others.
Have horrors been committed in the name of Jesus Christ, yes for centuries, have horrors been committed in the name of Ala, Buddha and other religions yes and they continue today, Afghanistan is a prime example.
 
Does this make these horrors inflicted by God no, he gave you and I free will,he will not force his love on you and will not control your actions. We choose our actions in this life and will stand before him in the end to be judged on what we have done with what he has given us.  Will he know your name?
 
Consider the consequences before you make a decision, remember God is the same yesterday, today and forever.  If you ask he will draw near to you and you will know beyond all understanding that he is your provider, redeemer and friend..
 
I pray, for your forgiveness  for you know not what you do...
 
In The Love of Christ
