And by that, I don't mean personal like, unique me reasons. I mean personal like, between me and Him. You see, I'm convinced He hates me. So I refuse to believe in Him. (Note: I just went to get some Pez out of my Bunny Pez dispenser, and a piece of it broke in half and flew at my face. Proof, perhaps?) I'm an atheist child of atheist parents, raised as godless as they come. I distinctly remember hearing as a small child some story about how people wanted to find out what language Man naturally spoke, and so they got all these babies, and raised them without ever speaking to them, and the babies all died. The moral I got out of this story is that God doesn't play fair, since it was obvious to me that he had killed the babies. So one of my very first impressions of God was that He was a cruel bastard. Then there was Elementary School, where every single one of my friends was convinced I was going to Hell, and that it was their job to Save me. So there was this God guy again, completely unfairly sending me to Enternal Damnation, and there was apparently nothing I could do about it. I mean, I could go to church and stuff, but church scared me even more than the threats of damnation. Everyone else seemed to just Know that their God was the right one, and I had no clue how one would even go about picking which God to believe in. It was completely unfair that I should go to Hell if I guessed wrong. There was God again, refusing to play fair. My first girlfriend left me because her Catholic family couldn't deal with her dating girls. There was God, completely fucking with my social life. My second girlfriend also left me because her Catholic family couldn't deal with her dating girls. I was beginning to see a conspiracy of sorts in this. God was obviously out to get me. So now there's this whole Godless Atheist Bisexual thing I've got going, which nine out of ten Believers will tell you is sending me straight to hell. I'm sure that textfile I wrote about wanting to boink Jesus is enough by itself to get me a good seat. God obviously just doesn't like me. So fuck Him. I'm not going to believe in anyone who doesn't like me, omnipotent or not. I may be going to Hell, but at least I play fair. Well, most of the time.
