@ deacon... oh I forgot there is no freedom of speech in religion and I'm not allowed to think too because God is watching and his angels are keeping records, the same way I am not to questions a pastor, pope, deacon of whatever because God said touch not my anointed and do my prophet no harm which is why they can basically do anything from deceiving people, stealing their money to poking children behinds... they can get away with almost anything. yes of course religion makes people stupid but not Christianity
tell that to the Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists and other religions of course everyone believes that their religion is the true religion, if you were born a Muslim I'm sure you'd believe Mohammed is the prophet of God, it really depends, largely, on which religion you are born into.
It would do you good to research Christianity, even better religion, if you're going to devote you life to it. Why do you worship on a 'sun'day, what is Easter? , its origin?, why bunnys and eggs? , when did Christians start using the cross?, what does it signify? what are there many stories similar to Jesus before Jesus, like virgin mother gives birth to son(Sun) that saves the world?, why do many religions have similar stories?, what is baptism about?, when did it start?, why do you need to eat the flesh of Christ and drink his blood?, why do you need to give Jesus your heart, doesn't he has one?, where the the trinity originate from?, what do the major religions come form the middle east/Asia?, why are they similar?, why do you have a blue eye, blond hair Jesus?, what does the halo around him really signify?, do you really think the world is about 4000 yrs old?, the Vatican, the pope, symbolism, paedophilia, homosegxwality whats that all about? ... those are a few ques that get you thinking and and researching... if you're gonna be a Christian you should know these things and pls don't reply with something like " they bible says..." you cant defend the bible/Christianity with the bible, its 2010.
Why am I only on Christianity? I was born a Christian , that what I've practised almost all my life, last year I was ushering in church, going to Saturday meetings, having Wednesday meetings in my house and then things changed... long story. Short story, pastor started lying on the 'altar', church was not what is should be, looked in to the bible saw contradictions btw what i was seeing in churches, what pastor was teaching ( and thats with most churches) and what s in the bible, nothing was adding up, left church, started to actually think and ask questions, things still not adding up, left it alone until recently i started to research and think, if I was going back to church I had to know fully well what I was getting into as an adult not as a child that had no clue because we make our decision and live with them. If you don't know, fair enough but when you find out ignorance is no longer an excuse, its 2010 there is too much information out there to still be ignorant.
sorry for the rant
