why is it that people who claim to be "christian" usually seem to be closed-minded and judgemental (the very opposite of Christ)? i am not trying to insult anyone in particular, i am just saddened because i feel like i am losing my faith....i dont proclaim to know all about God, or have any answers, but why cant people accept the fact that we will NEVER have the answers? i have faith in a higher power/intelligent designer (God) and believe that Jesus, if he in fact existed, was surely one of the most spiritually advanced humans to ever walk the earth. i WANT to believe...but lately it is getting harder and harder--the so called "bible churches" and "non-denominational" churches seem to be the worst at proclaiming their truth as THE truth, and judging other people as unworthy.
i was raised Catholic and after trying a bunch of different denominations, i have come back to the catholic church, as it is the one i feel the most comfortable in, and i have had a great experience with my priest. i was pregnant when he married me and my husband, and he was so kind to us both. many of my baptist friends think the catholics are evil and pagan and blablabla. i am so tired of hearing it. why cant we all just get along? im starting to think if jesus came back to earth, he wouldnt attend any church at all, he woul probably be more at home sitting in silence with a buddhist monk in nature.
anyways....does anyone else have this problem??
I didnt mean I was a non-believer in the sense that im not religious, I meant that the Mormons that visited me called me a non-believer because I wasnt mormon. I have my own religious views, although they dont quite fit in any particular religion with the exception of maybe the Unitarian Universalists...
Much of christian beliefs comes from paganism. While some denominations are unitarian, strict monotheists similar to judaism or islam, many denominations are trinitarian, which comes from the pagan influence.
Hey Karma, i read the Dr. Laura thing. I have to say that aside from the "letter", I like some of Dr. Lauras comments on keeping a family together, whenever possible. I think she is definately a hypocrite. I find her offensive in some aspects and enlightening in others. I know it takes a lot to admit you agree with Dr. Laura about anything, but really she does have some good points, like giving a husband what he needs, and keeping family together. What do you think? Should we start another thread on Dr. Laura alone?
haha Dr. Laura was tossed off my local station long ago but I do remember the feeling she gave me: One minute I'd want to drive to wherever she is and wring her neck for being such a know-it-all-annoying-loudmouthed-swollen-headed-female-dog - and the next minute wishing she'd come over to my house and give me some advice on a thing or three
Yes, my husband would invite her over more than me though, he likes the fact that she thinks I should "give it up" every night. But I am getting off course once again. I think she talks like a pig when she degrades people for who they are even if she is giving it to them the way it really is. I think she can show more compassion than that while doing it. She is definitely not perfect. Nor am I.....
I've never said everyone is a hypocrite. Only those i kno and thus the basis of my information. I try and do set examples for ppl. I'm always giving as good as advice as i can. No one was pointing out flaws in others, merely saying what they think about what they see in others. No one's telling ppl straight up they are wrong or whatever. So im not sure what your getting at with your post. Doesn't make sense to me. Sorry :-) But if ur trying to imply that i should care about my life and myself moreso then pointing out others weaknesses....your wrong because thats not what i am doing at all.
