Thoughts on Christianity [I Want To Write My Random Thoughts And Feelings]

I'd like to gather my thoughts at this time regarding Christianity, if that is ok.

1. I will always be interested in it, like many an atheist is, but the difference with me is i am and have been done for quite a long time with complaining about it. It is what it is. From there comes the following:

2. There are 2 essential sides to it all, one side is all nice and about love, that's the popular part. The other side is controversial, and this is what critics call attention to as if it's mere existence disqualifies it for the right to exist, which then leads to my 3rd point:

3. It is not of this world, so those who like and idealize what is natural and earthly will obviously take offense to it.

Final thought

4. There is good and bad in all, regardless of what one thinks about Christianity, how it functions en masse and on the individual, i see it as a blessing that brought to the world some great minds that either stood for it, or against it. Without it we would have been, i dunno, but i'm inclined to think we'd be poorer without it.

The situation with religions is that there is so much MAN-made stuff attached to that religion, differentiating it from other religions which have attached OTHER man-made stuff to THAT one.
Perhaps we should look for "Christianity without all that religiosity". God made mankind and it was perfect. Man blew it, was deceived by satan, destined to live facing death as punishment for sin. But God loved us so much that he gave His only Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sin, to make us holy and acceptable in His eyes.

You may have read- or might want to if you haven't- any of Lee Strobel's books, the most noted being "The Case for Christ".

@Massageman Thanks, i've heard of that book, in the same vein as an earlier book by someone i forget his name as of now called Evidence That Demands a Verdict. I agree, what passes as Christianity is usually impure to say the least if not down right phony.

i grew up being raised as a Christian and it was horrible, abusive and traumatising.

i think it should be talked about because i was nowhere near the worst case and there are still people out there going through the same if not worse than i.

@bugeye Sad how many believers are, yes talking is always good, in restrictive settings even having an opinion is against the rules.
