i feel the bible has led me away from ever believing in a god. everything i have read in the bible seems to be very untrue to me. also its the way the church is set up, but thats just me. dont think that i HATE religion cause i dont but i hate people who will judge me for doing what i please, i dont judge them so they shouldnt judge me.
i just believe more in science. its nothing personal against religious people, just do what makes you happy!

Give examples.Originally Posted by Hulud
Too many of you are clumping your dislike of "religion" based on a bad experience AT some church. Some of the most spiritual people don't preach from a pulpit in billion dollar churches. Some do. Where they preach is not as important as WHAT they preach. Too many people think that because they went to a fire and brimstone church or a pass the offering plate 3X church THAT is EVERYTHING "religion" stands for and that is simply not true.also its the way the church is set up, but thats just me. dont think that i HATE religion cause i dont but i hate people who will judge me for doing what i please, i dont judge them so they shouldnt judge me.
I could give 100 examples of how good churches help their communities and even internationally w/o resorting to extortion or scare tactics. Would that matter? Probably not, because some of you guys have your mind made up that ALL churches and ALL religion is what you see on TV. That is far from the truth.
Jaime, to tell the truth, I'm one of those people. Church people to be more exact.
I don't know that I don't beleive. I just have lots of questions that I will never get answers for as to the way He works. Later, QD.
FOR MORE INFO, CLICK THE PIC!!!
it was written by humans, the fact that they make ot humans to be supreme, noah and the ark, the bible basically 'scares' (not the best word) people into doing good (which doesnt work from what i can see out of most christians), makes people not live their lives to the fullest, the whole god always forgives thing, i could go on for hours, but ill stop there for now

By all means, go on.. this is after all, the Religion room and religious discussions....
I got free clear tails with my ride.....
Name 1 book that WASN'T.......
the fact that they make ot humans to be supreme,
In my bible, GOD is supreme. Maybe YOU should try and READ the bible before you start a critique about it, huh????
Because we all know that non-Christians are sooooo perfect and do nothing wrong, huh????noah and the ark, the bible basically 'scares' (not the best word) people into doing good (which doesnt work from what i can see out of most christians)
People want things handed to them w/o any work. Work is not easy by definition or it wouldn't be work at all. You call it being "scared", I call it telling it like it is.
Name one real example of where a Christian DIDN'T "live" their life to the "fullest" simply BECAUSE they were Christian.makes people not live their lives to the fullest
You keep just saying things that are so general and mundane to try and prove something, but you don't give a single example of how it applies.
He does. What's the point?the whole god always forgives thing
i know but people believe in this book like the ones who wrote it would never exaggerate the truth to look better just how i feelName 1 book that WASN'T.......
yes god is supreme but it makes humans out to be better than anyother living organism on this planet. and the fact that animals serve humans? there only existance is to feed us, now thats a little farfetched for me to believeIn my bible, GOD is supreme. Maybe YOU should try and READ the bible before you start a critique about it, huh????
when did i say that?Because we all know that non-Christians are sooooo perfect and do nothing wrong, huh????
who said anything about handouts?People want things handed to them w/o any work. Work is not easy by definition or it wouldn't be work at all. You call it being "scared", I call it telling it like it is.
that most christians i have encountered act like they can do what they please and then worry about it later and repent for it, just seems kinds like a HUGE loop hole to meHe does. What's the point?

Have you ever thought about the possibility that some people CHOOSE to believe the content rather than dig to China to find where something was misspelled or mistranslated???????
Just because I call something a HOUSE and you call it a HUT does NOT change the fact that BOTH are a roof over someone's head. You call it one thing and I another, yet we both SAY the same basic thing.
Well to be honest I sort of agree with you on one thing:yes god is supreme but it makes humans out to be better than anyother living organism on this planet. and the fact that animals serve humans? there only existance is to feed us, now thats a little farfetched for me to believe
I've known some animals that are smarter than some
You inferred that when you said, "bible scares....into doing "good"....(...which DOESN'T work....for CHRISTIANS.." So you are inferring that it does for NON-Christians. If you didn't mean that, then I take it back.when did i say that?
And if that's true, how is that any different from YOU?????that most christians i have encountered act like they can do what they please and then worry about it later and repent for it, just seems kinds like a HUGE loop hole to me
Atleast Christians TRY to repent, what do YOU do? Sin and forget about it????
nah thats not what i meant.
i just feel like the bible is used to scare people into doing what some believe is right, ibelieve that with all religion but i feel that people should be able to do what is right by choice rather than by fear of the afterlife
i dont think what ihave said on here is a sin so i have nothing to wish i had done differentlyAnd if that's true, how is that any different from YOU?????
