friends help: SICK OF GOD. - Help.com

I am sorry you have freaking retarded religious people who try and push their beliefs on you. I hope you feel a little better now that you have released all that. I am not being sarcastic, I really hope you feel better.

I know EXACTLY what you mean.

Respect to you.

One day you may see that not all people who believe in god are like that. Just because someone claims a belief in god, it doesn’t mean they condone the kind of behaviour you have had to endure

Now calm down what has he done to you? Talk to him tell him you sick of him and tell him you are joining the Devil at least he understands….

Religion is a belief, pure and simple. Its an emotional crutch that some need in their lives. Its also someone to blame when things go wrong i.e It wasn’t Gods wish, I committed adultery with my neighbour, but Ill go to Church on Sunday and all will be forgiven. Religion is behind many wars in the world, I don’t condemn those that believe each to his or her own. But one thing I do hate is the Hypocrisy that surrounds it.

I’m almost in the same boat as you…

I’ve got nothing against God…its his fan club I can’t stand…

Put it this way the next Jehovah Witness that puts his foot in my door, will truly get it stomped on. lol

Why do people who disavow God tend to feel the need to abuse those who believe?

And why do those that do believe, push it on people that dont ??

And why do those that do believe, force it on people that dont ??

Its a meme. It has evolved and is passed on as long as it isn’t too detrimental to its hosts.

That’s too harsh. There is soooo much good to be found in religion, community spirit, dancing singing and praising, support and counseling networks, comfort that the big questions have been answered, a purpose, hope and I’m sure much more…

Its just that a lot of modern dogma is just plain incorrect. The Vatican for example, has a tough time trying to answer modern dilemmas while at the same time, has to be seen com forming to thousands of years old conflicting rule book.

thats my two cents

I agree, theres so many questions Ive put to religious folks , and they back peddle and tell me to go read the bible, they have no answers and just backpeddle their way out of it. Each to his own , nite all.

for all of you who are doubting or never believed in the first place….please go out and rent,buy or borrow the movie …The Case for Christ… it explains it all please just before you speculate just watch it…..any blockbuster has it…..i beg you PLEASE

God is actively trying to make his followers not so screwed up.
It is true that the churches are still living in the dark ages on many
things.We need people like you who can point out to followers some
of the weaknesses.

this maybe of help?

the purpose of life is to gradually perfect ourselves from where we are now
to the level of a master like Jesus, Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna, Hercules, etc.
we do this by reincarnating over and over again in groups.
We go through five steps:
1/ mastery over the physical plane.
2/mastery over the astral plane( emotional plane)
3/mastery over the mental plane.
4/the crucifixion
5/resurrection

Jesus demonstrated those 5 step 2000 years ago

A thought experiment. Try this substitution.. God = your subconscious mind. If you want an organised religion similar to Christianity that isn’t so logically confronting, look up Baha’i. If you want a set of guidelines for living a happy life, try Buddhism.

listen hun i didn’t think that the movie would change your life i was hopeing that it might open your eyes a little……yes there is ALOT of stuff wrong with church and all that stuff, but faith is NOT religion you don’t even have to go to church…and yes there are alot of people out there but guess what there not all right

Baha’i

Equal respect for women, don’t try fasting when your sick or menstruating, don’t tithe when saving for your first house or educating yourself, if your sick - go see a good doctor. It’s a like patched version of Christianity. I’m not one myself btw, but it makes more sense than most.

all religions have there plus and minuses.
But I agree with you the Buddhist are the most scientific about it.

I don’t see origional Buddhism as a religion. No god involved, just a smart dude sitting on a hill for a long time thinking deep thoughts. Hey, just maybe that was the start of all religions… :-)

And newtons gravity… think I might go sit on a hill

well on that basis what happens if you suppress a Fart?It travels up your Spine to your Brain and that is were all those ****** Ideas and Religions come from..

oh yes even Jesus was much more systematic about it but it has been mostly
lost.

Jesus said

” you priests are messed up, stop messing with the people”
” you can pray to god direct without going through organised religion”
” more important than all those rules is the the vibe of be good to each other”

but there is always a Middle Man who puts his dirty Hand out….

yea hun and the thing is…..you cant just say” oh god doesn’t exist” and he just isnt there any more its like looking directly at a wall and saying ” i dont believe this wall is here” then you try to walk through it whats gonna happen? your gonna smack write into the wall, know granted the repructions aren’t gonna be as fast but there gonna happen…………. i was saying there not all right as in all the people posing as christians aren’t……..oh and whoever told you “This happened to you because you don’t believe”. is a complete idiot and knows nothing real about the bible
