After much religion bashing, I have found new insight, thanks to a good friend. I thought I would never be writing such, but here I am. I have found myself in situations where I am defending Agnosticism/Atheism and in return striking blows on Christians. Of course it should not be a surprise that I, as well as many others do, end up resorting to ( Read more... )

I've thought the same thing before about republicans/democrats. If I'm always saying how great it is to be a liberal and to be a democrat then am I in some way putting down republican or conservative beliefs?

I know I consider myself to be Christian, but of course there are millions of people who would say otherwise.

Just remember although there are zealots that really fuck up Christianity (and other aspects of society), there are some good people left too. I've met a few, very few, Christians who are open minded and good people.

a very long pondering...you asked for it in_naked_wonder May 30 2005, 04:25:18 UTC

there is a big christian movement arising (one that makes more sense to me than any church doctrine) that goes against christianity being based off of rights and wrongs and instead based on desires and love. it's based off of jesus' life and the fact he would do what was "wrong." For example, the pharisees called him hypocrite (although not that terminology, but the same idea). yeah his followers worked (healed) on the sabbath but it was the right thing to do even though it did not follow the rules of their doctrine. i think the movement is trying to find out where did we mess up? what does it mean for us now ( ... )

Wow. i'm glad you took my word on pondering it. hehe. what is this religion movement you speak of? it's not Unitarian is it? i know they follow the teachings of many religions (the 'love' parts of them all), however, reject the dogma of orthodox religion.

i must admit i fully accept the majority of Jesus's teachings. he helped bring an end to the monstraucities of the OT Laws. i am coming to my own conclusion with all this religious talk...that the only truth is one's own truth. thanks for your shared insight to what your truth is and what it means to you. its good to hear people are putting great amounts of thought into such philosophies.
