…I learned many things about the Bible to fuel my hatred of it…
You actively hate the Bible?
Yes, when it has things passages saying to kill homosexuals (and pretty much everyone else who isn’t a straight worshiper of Yahweh), a raped virgin must marry her rapist and a woman should not have authority over a man how could I not hate it?
Preach (how ironic to say when we are atheists).
Even believing the Bible is convoluted. It’s been altered and mistranslated for centuries (assuming the original Bible is somehow true, everybody who worships an altered Bible is going to hell which means everybody is going to hell) and the Bible itself gives four contradicting accounts of how the world was created.
How to become an atheist:
Step 1: Read the Bible.
Step 2: Understand the Bible.
Step 3: Think about the Bible.
Step 4: Profit.
