ArchivedA World without Religion?If it`s from the bible, I don`t accept it. Well if you infer that I was molested by priests, treated badly by my mother, or some other thing, you are wrong. The beginning of disbelief was just the simple questions, answered weakly by these great men who would preach to me. I realized these men actually had no Idea themselves about the answers to these questions, nor did they seem to care. I care, this was a slow process, and at first I felt like I was the only one who would struggle with these things, but couldn`t just give in to fear, or stupid reasoning. I do not, I refer to unbiased material, there should be no problem finding a book on the history of the christian church that is unbiased. There are many books which give an overview of all religion, with comparisons of each. This is not God bashing, this is true research. Guess what? Not every form of unchristian literature is an attempt to topple your belief! Science is not an attempt to topple it either. You gotta let this guard down a little to learn things. You sound a little paranoid, like asking a few questions might really open your eyes and take God away, well it might, it might not. He can come any time, I`m sick of seeking him out for nothing. Where is he and how has he ever shown himself to anyone? I`ve heard you can feel him in church, is that true? You guys who feel a presence are fooling yourselves somehow, confusing Deja vu or strange feelings with God`s breath, or any of the other fanciful things that have been dreamt up about him. Big difference. I usually don`t talk about my sig, but, It`s the ridiculousness of the premise of God and the flood here: -Create us -Allow us to screw up -Blame his creation (us) for screwing up -Drown millions of humans and animals because they screwed up. drowning is a pretty frightening experience wouldn`t you say? There`s no nice way to drown. It`s not known to be lies, another misconception propegated by creationists. As for the things they teach in scool, yes I have misgivings about that sort of thing. However, 8 years old is about when they would be learning about it from friends, It`s a question of how you want them to learn about it. I suggest adding to this by having some good talks with your child at home, I guess you could and will inform him of the sin involved, and use fear as a deterrent, or whatever you see fit. We had an issue here where they were going to make books available to grade three students that spoke of gay and lesbian parents. A tolerance thing. Well I don`t care about gays and lesbians, but teaching kids about that behavior at such a young age is not a good thing, IMO. They have enough to think about wouldn`t you agree? that`s where some honest parenting comes in, not parenting of a 2000 year old civilization. Would you want your child reading from the koran every morning? Me neither, I would find that offensive. I think I already answered it, I didn`t wake up one day and decide there was no God. HAHA, that`s painting with a broad brush! There`s really nothing good outside of Christianity huh? Sounds a little out of touch. Actually I get this vision of a grey haired old lady clutching a bible and croaking, 'that`s not right!"
This is where I`m posting, I guess if you don`t want to hear my opinions and beliefs, you would stay in the statements of faith section, or fill out prayer request forms, or the other things offered here. I hope I don`t get too sarcastic or sound a little mean sometimes, I mean well, just trying to make points. So many of my fellow men are holding us back. |
