You have a victim mentality. A persecution complex. What happened to you to bring you to this anti-Christian point? You see "the church" as this foreboding menace, in the same manner as "they" want us to fear ISIS or al-Qaeda. "The church" is your boogieman.Quote:

This video just about sums up my views of why I am not a christian any longer. I am a rationalist... and faith is a gullibility.Also the fact that many christians are anything but christian in thier quickness to judge and condem others who may believe differently then they do.

LOL Who made you the salt of the earth? Is this some self appointed title or do you believe its god given? Same old BS ... Some people thinking that they know best how other people should live. This sounds a whole lot like the progressive socialists we have in Washington today! Just as I dont need government to tell me how to live and what is right ... I dont need any religious group or institution to do it either. This also smacks of judgement as you are judging what is righteous or good and evil! My morals do not rely on any beliefs or faith. They have been taught to me by my parents and my life experiences.Quote:

I think a lot of people don't understand prayer. It is not to bring benefit to oneself. You pray for others. Just like a body fixes itself if allowed, a person can do the same for the their whole. I pray for the ones no longer here that they aren't lost somewhere, or the ones who I'm worried might soon join them. I pray to say thanks that I got another day regardless of how much use I made of it.Quote:

God doesn't act directly but through others, us. If it happens and it's evil its Satan using others. If there is not enough good being done then who's it down to? I think there are not enough people though which good is being done. I think the number of people doing good is growing quickly now. I'm hopeful.
Absolutely.
I have had and still going through an enormous amount of supernatural happenings that cannot be dimissed as random occurences or blind luck.
Very,very specific.
Since quitting drinking, I'm starting to get back to who I am, and I have this feeling that there was an angel on my shoulder that pushed me over the top to just do it.Quote:
