I do not have a very high opinion of Christianity

I really don't think much of Christianity. It's just basically a group of people who are judgmental of anyone different from themselves. Who rely on the Bible to completely guide them in life. They seem to think that people are evil. People are inherently bad. And need to be saved by Jesus. The only way that we can possibly become good is ask Jesus to forgive us for being evil. I do not consider myself to be evil. And I certainly have the ability to make good moral decisions in life. I can choose to be good because that is what I think is the right thing to do. What is going on probably is that Christians think that they are bad people and need to be saved. Because they don't have any ability to stop themselves from being evil. Where as I myself don't really need to be saved because I have the ability to actually be good for its own sake. Because that's what I want to be. Because that is the right way to be. Show kindness understanding patience empathy and a willingness to help others. It really isn't that difficult to realize how to be good. And I certainly am capable of doing so. I don't need to be saved by Jesus because I am evil. Because I am not evil. I am a good person. But then these Christians say that if you do not ask God to be saved from your sins you will burn in hell for all eternity. Another problem I have with Christianity. That they want people to suffer for all eternity. If that be the case then Christians actually are evil. What is actually going on with Christians is that they feel they cannot control the evil within themselves and they need a God a Jesus to save them from being evil people. And that part of them that is evil wishes others to suffer if they do not believe in Jesus Christ. They are actually projecting their own insecurity in there inability to be good people. Sorry but that's not my problem so I don't need to believe in you Jesus Christ. I don't wish anyone to suffer no matter what they have done.

Thank you for that most intellectual and erudite exposition. I so enjoy a deep theological discussion.
