The immorality of the Christian religion

[[deleted user]]

We hear daily in the US that morality comes from the Christian god. When one examines Christian doctrine, the bastion of wonderful moral standards is nowhere to be found.

This paragraph sums it up:-

'The basic problem with Christian religious morality is that it is nothing more than a primitive system of reward and punishment. Be good, don’t ask questions, stay in line and you will be rewarded. Be skeptical, ask questions and use your mind in a reasonable and rational manner and you are consigned to eternal punishment in the most horrible place, forever. Although some of the more progressive churches have modified this and a few have even eliminated it, this system has remained fundamental to Christian religiosity throughout the history of the church.'

The morality of all religions is about control whereas the morality of reasonable people, like atheists (hopefully!) is self control.
