You know I'm really starting to get sick and tired of people pretending to be a Christian. It's not something you can just "play pretend" on. As I look around, for example, on MySpace like 70% the users have the "Christian - Other" under religion, but when it comes down to it about half of them REALLY DON'T care about it. Here, I'll sum up the average Joe American teen's thoughts on religion:
"I know God's real… I believe in God and Jesus and stuff, I'm just not religious or anything… I'm mean I believe in him & I'm a pretty good person, so I'll get to Heaven."You don't know how many times I hear this, and most of you reading this are just like that. The sad thing is that you actually believe it! "Oh, I don't believe in Hell or the Devil, or even if it does exist I don't think God sends people there, he's supposed to be a loving god. He wouldn't do that"Your right, God doesn't send people to Hell, we choose our path in life thus we choose to take ourselves there.Another thing that quote makes me realize is this: You claim to believe in God, yet you denie what he says. His word clearly says that their IS in fact a HELL. This is the same thing with saying that you can believe that life evolved over millions and billions of years and still believe in God. You CAN'T! You're saying that what he said he did and what he actually did are two different things. God doesn't lie! Although according to your made up religion he does. You see, the so call religion you follow is FAKE, made up and just like the Atheists say, someone just made it up to explain unknown things in a way that makes you happy. You see they ARE RIGHT when they say that your God doesn't exist. Wanna know why, because you made him up! Really, you made up everything you know as to be "God", you've honestly never read the Bible which is the written word of the REAL God. Your God is all in your head, never really there. Alright… I guess what I was trying to do what to separate the REAL believers from the people that claim to believe just because everyone else's doing it. If you don't even know about the religion you claim to follow, don't claim to follow it anymore because you obviously don't already.
Ok, DarkSirrusGames, I read your article, you read mine.
Im atheist. Im cool with other peoples beliefs. I wish others that are religious felt the way I do and not try to push their religion on others.
And no I didnt actually read the blog because Im tired.OMG man, I know exactly what you mean> Like i go to church and stuff and I see people from school there and we all have a good time and stuff. Then, these SAME people are the people I hear at lunch talking about f***ing a girl, or getting drunk at the latest party or something.
I myself am not very religious, but I have morals and limits.@melee-masterIt is not christianity that commited all those things. It is its practitioners that did. Just because they did wrong things doesn't mean the religion itself is bad. The proof? JESUS HIMSELF bashed the jews and church leaders and stuff.They got corrupted and began using christianity as a pretext for their own selfish desires.There just HAS to be a GOD you know. I mean come on! I kinda believe the whole thing about evolution, but I believe that It coincides with religion. Genesis says God made the world, but not exactly HOW it was made. I believe GOD was behind the big-bang thing. I mean did that dense grape fruit sized ball of matter just come out of nowhere to start expanding? Someone MUST have started the process.
I am a Christian and im with you on the fact that most are hypocrites..but to a certain extent all who are truly Christians, who are supposed to strive to be like Jesus(sinless), are hypocritical as it says in Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God."..There is no excuse for being a hypocrite but there is a hypocrite in all of us.
@Rhys… uhm… the fricken BIBLE
dont shape and shift a religion so it can still be LEGIT. christianity is christianity.
@ ultim8p00: good observation
