I Am Not Religious

[c=#7700B2]so in the New Testament there is a part where it basically says they humans are gods clay, he moulded half of us to be blessed by him and forgiven and the other half to be damned no matter what..

How can people try claiming that God is all loving? The New Testament clearly says other wise..

Half the population are damned to hell just because he wanted it that way..

Your God isn't all loving, he is just a massive douche [/c]

I am fairly religious, but not devoutly religious. Mostly because I feel like that God is not very "pro-active". Also, to me, religion has too many regulations like, don't do this, don't say that, don't believe in that, you can only believe in this, and etc.

Also, why does he always want praise, to me that seems somewhat selfish and narcissistic.

To me, I also see religion as a cause of narrow-mindedness.

[c=#7700B2]god wants lots of praise because man made up God for people to be scared into following mans law.. That is why the bible changes with time, they have to update it and tweak it so people don't outgrow it and think it is stupid.. Like how women are not allowed to have short hair or they get stoned[/c]

@PlumBerries Yes, there are many things that I disagree with in reference to religion, mainly Christianity. I believe that religion should be about finding inner balance and harmony, like Taoism or Confucianism. To me, the monotheistic religions see perceive the World as Black and White. They have no concept of grey or middle ground.

[c=#7700B2]because they were written in ancient times. Humans have evolved since and see the world differently to those during that time[/c]
