Who else was brought up a Christian, but now questions their spiritual journey?

I think you should believe in whatever you want, but don't use your religion to justify intolerance...

Why is it that the more religious someone purports to be, the more likely they are to interfere negatively in other people's lives?

This administration has really opened my eyes. They prefer condemnation to empathy.

Sure, this has been ongoing for centuries. The Holy Wars. Burning infidels and witches. The list is long and the deaths are many. Whose god wanted this? As with all criminal behavior, follow the money and you will find the god.

From the Inquisition to the GOP, religions are just excuses for people to band together, tell each other they are better than everyone else, and then persecute anyone they don't like. They are only interested in the dogma and control that comes from religion. They're definitely not interested in acting like Jesus, they just want an excuse to act like old testament God.

I never thought I would find the word "Christian" repulsive and dangerous.
But that is where I am now.

The far right hijacked, ate up and spit out Christianity. Christianity is dead, it鈥檚 just a hate group now.

At 21, I have checked out of religion. I just believe in being a good person and treating others as I would want to be treated (includes animals). Simple yet so hard for certain others.馃様

I just hope there is a after life. is scary thinking there is nothing when we die. 馃樅
@trackboy This is the hardest part for me, too. I hate to imagine never seeing departed loved ones again. 馃槥

@bijouxbroussard its pretty certain the old testament is just passed down stories and likely little in them really happened. it more comes down to the new testament and if the accounts of jesus life are true or mostly made up or exaggerated. 馃樅
@trackboy True, but Christianity is not the only faith that believes in an afterlife.

@bijouxbroussard jesus was written down less then a century after he was born. so any fraud was by jesus and his disciples themselves. or in the early writers of his life. supposedly his apostles wrote some of the accounts. dead sea scrolls are pretty close to the bible and were written then lost for almost 2 thousand years.
@trackboy Alrighty, I think we鈥檙e having two different conversations...
