I Will Not Assocaite Myself With Religion, Or Lack of Religion

The Christian Right Wing has alienated me completely from Religion. The support , dedication. worship they give to the PIG in office sickens me. Those that label themselves as Christians seem to need that identity to feel superior or chosen over others. I truly feel that John Lennon was right .......

Imagine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us, only sky
Imagine all the people living for today
Ah
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people sharing all the world
You

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

When I hear someone identify as Christian or The Religious Right Wing I simply walk away from them and kindly say I have no time for you :)

Not all Christians are Right Wing. Christ himself would not have identified with men who are against helping the poor, or who carried weapons.

@SW-User Yes - organised religions with hierarchies and made-up dogma have dominated Christianity for centuries. Some churches are better than others. The old Celtic Church was not too bad; the Free Church of Scotland tried to help the poor; the Quakers had their good points too.

True, which causes me to ask why do so many Christians choose to tell everyone how to live, quote the Bible yet live outside of the teachings of Christ. How do they justify their Bigotry, Hatred, Prejudice, and Judgement. Where do they see Christ in their insanity? Why would their ministers justify the insanity and forgive only a chosen few like The Pig in Office.
Here is one minister I would support without hesitation ,

Members of a Mormon congregation in a Salt Lake City suburb encountered someone they thought was a homeless man at church on Sunday. What they did not know was the man was a bishop for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.At least five people asked David Musselman to leave the church property in Taylorsville, some gave him money and most were indifferent.

He said he disguised himself as a homeless man to teach his congregation a lesson about compassion. To make his appearance more convincing, he contacted a Salt Lake City makeup artist to transform his familiar face to that of a stranger not even his family recognized.

“The main thing I was trying to get across was we don’t need to be so quick to judge,” Musselman said.

He received varied reactions to his appearance at church, he said.

“Many actually went out of their way to purposefully ignore me, and they wouldn’t even make eye contact,” he said. “I’d approach them and say, ‘Happy Thanksgiving.’ Many of them I wouldn’t ask for any food or any kind of money, and their inability to even acknowledge me being there was very surprising.”

Bishop Musselman told only his second counselor that he would be disguised as a homeless man. The bishop purposefully walked to the front of the chapel and sat in the front row at the beginning of sacrament meeting. After his counselor’s talk, the bishop had his counselor lean forward over the stand and he asked through a whisper if he could say a few words.
