Thread: Christianity

I have my own views of Religion. I take things in a certain context. I dont believe we are meant to stone Gays and Atheists. Back in those times, everything was blown out of proportion. If you were different in anyway, you were considered wrong.

I dont believe there is any reason to shun gays. Christianity is about acceptance, and toleration.

I believe that all the reasons you hate Christianity, is because of those hypocritical, extreme ones, who take everything litterally. Who stand a top cars praising in the streets.

Why not just live a good life? Thats all Christianity is. Living a good life, helping others, and not harming others... or yourself. If people would just look past all the damn metaphors, all the damn context and all the wording, it'd be clear.

The Pope is an idiot, most priests are idiots. The only reason Christianity is constantly seen as this "extreme" is because it has been widely accepted as the norm, and believed this is what is wanted. There are the few of us that can actually see past this. The messege of Christianity, of almost any religion, is too lead a good life.

I dont think anything in the Bible is meant to be taken litterally. I think its just a book of guidelines to live by. Respect your neighbour, cause no harm ect.

I'm sharing and going.

I'd have to disagree. It's more than being "good."

I'm sorry if there are people who have hurt you (in the all-inclusive form). I, too, wish that we could be united and not have to disagree on the lengthy list of important and trivial topics that we do. I wish that people would stop carrying signs of unborn babies and say, "You're going to hell if you get an abortion."

Do I believe blindly? No. I've seen enough evidence in my life and in the world around me to convince me. I don't necessarily remember all of it off hand and I don't have the answers to everything, but I am satisfied with my decision. I see where everyone is coming from, but I wish that hostility towards Christians would stop. I may believe in Christ and His teachings, but am I going to condemn you for what you believe? No.

I hope people understand that it's the minority of "Christians" that is seen on the news.
