What makes me mad about my religion is that we act exactly like every one else.

I am glad you came here to see why people don’t like our religion. That is what we need to help our religion grow into what Christ intended.

One big thing that bothers me is that we refuse to change in the face of overwhelming evidence
Just a few:

1)If you think it you’ve done it.
2)Original Sin:
3)Our religion is the only right one.
4)You MUST accept Jesus to be saved.
5)Paul made all the rules.
6)Holding to tightly in the past leaves no room for growth.

These are just a few that bother me. I try and help us grow instead of leaving.

Also, do not forget, I believe evil is also. It is smarter than us and will at times sound very intelligent in convincing you that it is correct. At other times it will attack you and try and get your emotional side going. Just hang in and listen. Make them explain themselves.

So, do get wrapped up to tight in what some say to you. Also, do not get too wrapped up in yourself. You try and remember the truth lies between you and everyone else. Neither side can claim it, only God can… for now.

The " turn the other cheek " crap, I strongly support vengence.

Also, that " thou shalt not kill " should be bent many times over, I believe in numerous exceptions.

Also, what's this " meek " crap?? Screw that.

I think I'm done.

REMEMBER each religion has his/her own GOD, each has his own bible, each and you might not notice it, discriminates against the other, threatens all kinds of calamaties, and many are brainwashed. REMEMBER one thing the so called true believers always have their hand out for more.

Hey Paul

What bothers me?

The trinity.
God commanding murder but preaching love and not to murder.
The fact that God created evil. Why not create no evil, no evil desires or thoughts, without those then we would simply live as we do blissfully unaware of such tripe. We would simply only know good and neutrality and serve God thus.

Not to be nasty but while you do not claim to know everything you blindly defend what you do believe, like I used to.
Glad you came here though, I've learnt a great deal of truth, or rather I've learnt great deal of what I used to think was true is in fact lies, Christianity is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. And sheep don’t even wear clothes so it must be something more sinister.

I don't like that Christianity is so closed minded. And I don't like that it makes what is natural a sin. Oh wait. I don't like the concept of needing to be saved. I have this sneaking feeling someone said hey let's make this religion and tell people you have to be saved. Then they will be like oh noes, I need to be saved! How do I go about getting that happy meal? And then someone says well step this way son, let me show you the way to salvation.....and there you have it. A marketing of an idea is born. I don't like that at all.

The sick way that it uses fear to make you believe something that you wouldn't in your sound mind.
