My problem with Christianity

My problem with Christianity is the concept of hell as a part of it's belief system. The fact that you can abandon all sense of logic and reasoning any sense of morality simply on the basis of what is believed to be a so-called God is absolute stupidity. What would otherwise be considered evil is somehow acceptable if done by a so-called perfect God.

This is all thanks to the theological seminary….i mean cemetery which has ruined the esoteric nature of the Bible and replaced it with fire and brimstone doctrine to keep the masses in check begging for their prayers to be fulfilled instead of learning how to manifest their desires

@G0ddess Your post reminded me of a short passage in a book by the Eastern Orthodox theologian David Bentley Hart:-

[i]Really, on the whole, Christians rarely pay particularly close attention to what the Bible actually says, for the simple reason that the texts defy synthesis in a canon of exact doctrines, and yet most Christians rely on doctrinal canons. Theologians are often the most cavalier in their treatment of the texts, chiefly because their first loyalty is usually to the grand systems of belief they have devised or adopted; but the Bible is not a system. A very great deal of theological tradition consists therefore in explaining away those aspects of scripture that contradict the finely wrought structure of this or that orthodoxy.[/i]

@SW-User that’s very insightful, how would they ever pay close attention to any Biblical texts when they outsource their thinking to their pastor

@G0ddess The quote comes from "That All Shall Be Saved".
