I Don't Believe In God

[c=#003BB2]ok so a popular topic of discussion on sw has been about transgender people and the media and so on.. You mostly hear from bible bashing morons who say its not natural and its going against gods plans and all that crap.
my question is do people actually read the bible? I assume those people don't, they just choose a religion to try to back up their beliefs..

anyway here is a actual verse from the bible
"but the lord said to Samuel, "do not consider his appearance or his height.... The lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the lord looks at the heart."
-1 SAMUEL 16:7

so how can people say being transgender and changing your body is against gods will, when apparently that isn't even important to the lord?[/c]

I don't see the point of this nonsense in the first place. I don't know if you're Christian or not, but the best reason I can think of not to believe in god, is the fact that there's no evidence backing his existence.

But I guess people have their own reasons for talking about the bible and how it goes against them personally.

the funny thing is, the nonbelievers go to hell, so everyone knows, that based on its very texts, religion discriminates against atheists and people of other faith, since none of those people make it into the kingdom of heaven. I don't see the point in the argument of targeted minorities, because the bible isn't adequate in today's inclusive society, and it simply can't keep up when its condemning nonbelievers to hell. Even the notion of hell in the first place would be enough to stir the moral conscience in anyone willing to think about it for more than five seconds.

But even without the moral construct, no evidence. Complaining about evil characters in fiction is a truly sad way to spend one's time. However, I think what it comes down to, is the fact that the people protesting against the moral code of christianity are just rightfully concerned at the fact that so many people flock to it.
