Another Brick in the Wall

[Looking4Me]

I know exactly why I abandoned Christianity; well all religions the world over. There's nothing in any faith that could change/fix/restore/save me. This is evident by how beliefs paint every one with the same brush (Eight Billion Beliefs Are Only Cause for Chaos) We've all become belief addict's, to escape the fear of what we don't know. Destroying each other so we can remain in our personal safe zones.

If you believe there is no hope, why are you even here to talk about it?

What do you think the existance of so many beliefs proves? Have you noticed a theme to these beliefs? If their only purpose is to escape fear of the unknown, why is there diversity and new teachings that give different answers to old questions?

I don't know how you are forming your ideas about my original post.

I only asked a question. You don't want to answer, that is your choice!

Do you really believe that?

Sounds like science...a bunch of man-made mental constructs. Out of curiosity, which do you subscribe to? Or have you extricated yourself from them all and come up with your own?

Sorry but I remain unconvinced. You need to explain exactly why you left Christianity.
Other factors like the particular Church you attended. A falling out with a partner perhaps?

 

[Looking4Me]

No. Why would I believe something that is true?

 

[TLHKAJ]

No. Why would I believe something that is true?

I see ...so you don't believe anything?

You can abandon religion all you like, or you can embrace religion, any religion or all religions, it won't make a difference to the world's future. Jesus is still coming back soon to take His people home. I don't call that a belief built on fear, but on hope. Forget about religion. It can't help you. You need to get to know Jesus.

I would say that at the moment I abide by nature.

I left Christianity the belief system behind, not Christianity the entertainment show it's become today behind.

Nature according to...whom, may I inquire...?

Yes, as much as possible.

Why?

 

[TLHKAJ]

Yes, as much as possible.

I see .... your belief is not to believe.
So then for you, nothing is true.... then how can you make any statements at all if you believe nothing and nothing is true? That cancels out everything you've stated. Hmmm.... very circular thinking. Like a loop, a trap where nothing makes sense.

So you like the hyped up preachers and rock music that pervade many Christians Churches these days?
I find them superficial and manipulative.

 

[Brakelite]

Why?

Because Jesus, the Son of God, is the Father's only provision for redemption. He, Jesus, is the only way, only truth, and only source of life.
Without Him there is no salvation.
John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
