No, it just means I don't have a fear based approach to Christianity. The extent that fundamentalists will go to rationalize their fear, bigotry, and narcissism, blows my mind. I'm glad fundamentalism is on the decline and on its way out of society so we can find a healthier approach. ...

All I see is that you justify your fearfulness of God and hell. It's narcissistic to think that you know the absolute truth and everyone else whose not a Bible thumper is wrong. I understand it gives you a sense of comfort that you think you know something but really it's a bandaid for not...

Only narcissists think they know the absolute truth. They have no humility to admit that they just don't know anything at the end of the day. Knowledge is not knowing, it's accumulated dead information. The whole knowledge of the Bible and Jesus is accumulated information, none of us here are...

There is NO ABSOLUTE TRUTH to handle! I think YOU can't handle the truth that there's none. When you've been indoctrinated for so long repeating the same old habits, you start to develop a strong egoic identity to the point where you believe you have the absolute truth. You don't! You weren't...

The Muslims believe their Quran is the word of God. Christians are not the only ones who think their book is the word of God.

The scripture is useful but by no means do I consider it to be the word of God. I just don't understand why people have to take up these extremes and completely hate on scripture or be fanatical about it. Those who witnessed Jesus' resurrection is highly debatable as well. If I can't fully...

I'm going to be brutally honest here. I've only been able to get along with progressive Christians. Why? Because they don't walk around thinking they have the absolute truth. Progressive Christianity makes sense to me, fundamentalist doesn't. I know fundamentalists don't like hearing this and...

God is nowhere outside, but inside.

The fact is that when I'm at a restaurant, I get hungry after staring at the menu for too long.

And the verse you shared says to obey

What is so bad about loving the world? Is love of this world not what we need more of?

So in other words, slavery is promoted

Why hate your flesh, that's like hating yourself. Flesh is what makes you a human being, you are life and life is beautiful

Let's be honest here, some Christians will wonder what Bible you've been reading. They all have 'the KEY'. And I don't mean that in a personal way or anything

If I was a thief, I'd be motivated by what I'm stealing

I obey the law of the land because I choose to, not because I have to. When have laws ever stopped people from breaking them? And breaking the law isn't always bad either...especially when your government starts oppressing you. Yet Romans 13:1 says to obey the government for God has put it...

You mention the word 'doctrine' 3 times. Fair to say Christians are indoctrinated?

I believe in God because I believe in myself. Look at your last point, "You would risk suffering eternal damnation..." And you want to tell me Christianity is not fear based? It's clear that deep down it's rooted in fear. You cannot be a fundamentalist Christian without believing in Hell. I...

You don't consider me to be a Christian, correct? Well other Christians don't consider you to be a Christisn either because you're not a trinitarian. You see how that works? I don't even have to be someone who doesn't proclaim they are Christian like you do, yet other Christians will think you...

The Bible has many contradictions in it. Jesus is God and God knows everything right? "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father." Mark 13:32 So the Son doesn't know and yet the Son is God and God knows everything...
