If you want to explore another 'faith', then why are you here? Are you saying there are not forums for your 'other faith'? I don't believe you.

You are here like the many other non-believers who are allowed here, to cast some sort of doubt upon Christians and their faith. You call Christians as disrespectful and 'playing gawd'. You have your own disrespectful definition of Christians, which is 'Krystians'. But of course, we are told by you, we just must deal with this.

But at the same time, you come and say, 'I fear to tell'. More bull. In other words, you have tried to establish that any Christian who disagrees with your assessment of Christianty is just playing gawd. Yet you have abandoned Christianity and are searching for another faith.

Go explore what you want. But, spread your bull elsewhere. Or, at least, don't be surprised when I don't believe you.

Dear Friend Stranger. All you have to do is simply examine what I have experienced in the Church and view other comments made here by those who have also been hurt by the Church. Experiences speak loudest of all. I am not trying to discourage people from the Christian faith, but to make them think about their faith and how they treat others. I still consider myself a Christian, but a DC. See my blog for my definition of this. I'm just so hurt by the way I've been treated. And when I say "I'm afraid," it's not bull. My feelings are real, thankyouverymuch. I do not "fake" my feelings-- no one does. I am here by choice, although I'm not totally sure why. I'm merely hoping for love, compassion and understanding, whatever faith I choose. Obviously, I won't be getting any from you of these from you, Stranger. You are the type of hurtful people I am trying to avoid. How unfortunate. Or, merely read my comments with an open mind, my dear. But don't worry-- I'm a "Stranger," too! And yeah, I'm pretty "strange!" :) On a side note, I'm about to post an interesting article I just found from The Exchange called "When Those Who Wander Aren't Lost" on my blog here. Please all of you kindly read and be informed. Judge not and you won't be judged. Namaste and have a great day!

I examine what you say. You're the one claiming you want to seek out other faiths. Not me. You're claiming now you're feelings were hurt by Christians. Well, by all means, if that is all it takes for you to seek another faith, then go.

Your desire for love and compassion does not involve my surrendering Biblical truths. There are many here who will love you and throw away the Bible. Because of course, 'luv' is the only thing that matters to them, irregardless of the Bible.

I do not read anyone's comments with an 'open mind'. That is just more bs. The Christian has the mind of Christ, not an open mind. You no doubt have an open mind and satan has filled it with all his wonderful 'luv' and 'do goodism's' . And of course you just luv everybody.

Nastynam. You have a great day also.

Nancy, thank you for your insight, kindness and compassion. I'm so sorry that you too have suffered at the hands of the Church. Unfortunately, we all have the potential to act like Kyrstians from time to time. I am guilty of this as well. You are right, Nancy. As you said above, "this site will show you that as well...some can be a bit mean spirited." Stranger, you are a cruel and heartless person. It is totally unChristlike for you to suggest to me that my fear and my feelings are "bull." Jesus would never call my feelings this. At least, that's how I see it. And I in no way embrace the devil-- at all. I resent and am hurt by this suggestion greatly. You are a brutal person-- not like Jesus at all. I am officially "ignoring" you, so that now, thankfully, you will truly be a "stranger" to me. You are truly hurtful rather than helpful. Take care of yourself. I will be thinking of you when I do my lovingkindness meditation goodnight. Goodbye.

Little late, but have been seeing you around here. Welcome!!!! Sorry to hear about your struggles with mental illness. I struggle with anxiety. I posted some encouraging Christian memes and uplifting videos in the mental health section if you ever need help. I have a personal rule that I don't pm men about things like this, but definitely online or in the prayer/mental health sections. And there are many I am sure who would love to be your acxountability partner. So sorry to hear about your church. It is why I always preferred a smaller church where I could talk to the pastors myself.

Well you won't find them here. As Stranger has stated, go somewhere else.
Enoch111 my dear, you unfortunately seem to be of the same mindset as Stranger. Jesus would never, ever make me feel so unwelcome just because my views are different. You are also hurtful, rather than helpful. You are being ignored as well. Take care.

So sad, so sad. So many Kristians, so few Christians here, as everywhere. May god have mercy on us for the way we mistreat each other.

Enoch111 my dear, you unfortunately seem to be of the same mindset as Stranger.
When someone comes along and says he has no use for Christ, Christians, and Christianity, and is looking for other faith options, then he should not even be here. There are many other faith options -- Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Islam, Paganism, Animism, you name it.

Here's what you said: The Christian Church is, actually, I have found in MANY cases, no better than "this world." Christians are NOT SPECIAL.

But God says that Christians are indeed special -- they are children of God, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ.
