-United Methodist
-African Methodist Episcopal -Missionary Baptist -Non-Denominational -Church of Christ -Church of God & Christ -Lutheran -Church of Zion -Etc. Christianity is pretty busy religion. Based on interpretation, it can be a strict lifestyle or a strict business. Compared to other religions, Christianity doesn't seem to be taken as seriously. Is it the society we live in, or the fallacies found within Biblical text? Debate. |

I all the time see Christians following SOME of their beliefs, but not others? Whaaaa?! I think this is caused by churches being masked machines of conservatism, which is defeating the point of going to church anyway.
Most commonly I see Christians judging people. Which, correct me if I'm wrong, is against their beliefs. So, it's okay to judge people but not okay to be gay? Or even vote against gay rights with no clue about the actual issue except for "a marriage should be between a man and a woman"? Who declared that? Did God tell you this? Should God control a country that doesn't always believe in God? Blindly voting could be another form of judgment The only answers they have for questions like these are: my pastor told me so, or some illogical excuse of the sort. I don't think they depend on their faith to "get them through hard times". I think they believe in a false sense of comfort, created by socialism and people who wish to control other people by means of simple, but for those who are naive not recognizable, manipulation. |

Someone needs to disagree with you. I'm waiting for the religious zealots of CB to invade this thread. |
