Please reread what he wrote, you missed something.

NK

Yes, I misunderstood that.

Let me restate that, perhaps the OP is tired trying to be "good" for the sake of others or "isms" and feels more natural when they are following their own sense of right and wrong.

Grace and Peace

It all just seems like something made up a long time ago by people who were terrified of death, so they made up Heaven and Hell.

Are these signs of questioning the Lord, or becoming agnostic? Or atheist?

Yes you are questioning your faith, perhaps it's because your have not found the relationship with God that Christianity is actually about. Christianity is not a religion, that is a system of rites and acts to please God, Christianity is a relationship, one to one with Jesus Christ

We are all being worn down everyday, I would just encourage you to read or re-read the book of James, specifically James 1:2-18. "The road is narrow and difficult that leads to salvation but the road that is wide and easy leads to destruction (paraphrase)"

Keep on keeping on... just the fact that you are reading this and posting these things means you after giving up the good fight. God bless.

I to have questions about my faith. I gitting more and more sick of organized religion. On one hand someone says "Love your neibor ,and then they put down a muslim for not beliving in jesus. And they say Muslim women should not wear burqas. That sounds like pride to me. do get me wrong, I have my own problems. all chirstians say jesus was god made man. Muslims say he was only a pophet. Wars have been fought over this. When will it end? Satan is laughing at all of us. He wants us to argue, call names ,and act like kids.
I have learned that Muslim women actually a burqa as to not attract the opposite sex. Some people say that burqas are a sign of oppression, and in former taliban ruled Afganistan it was. That's what people focus on. So they say "No one should wear burqas!" So what should they wear then? Tight fitting shirts instead? And people wonder why young girl and women get raped. They need to wear non-sexuality stemulating cloths and travel in groups.

I got kicked a star wars website called thejediacademy because I had written sci-fi story about Chirstians fighitng radical muslims. Ironic that those same people did not believe in god. I was mad because those people in my eyes had forgotton about 9/11. I was also mad that they probaily never a dissicion that take place between two young marines (two of the main characters.) A Chirstian and Muslim. The muslim asks the chirstian if he feels threatened by muslim friend. The Chirstian says no, and not to bring up issue again for fear of paranoia setting in. I had gotten made at them for bad mouthing my story, then I spent over a year apoligizing, I was kicked out for having Conscience ,and thirst hear or see the words I FORGIVE YOU. I tried to be nice but they hated me because of my consent posting asking to be forgiven.
Pure creation Pure evolution both are too judgmental. That's why like divine design.

Faith is a struggle, it's no cake walk. People that say they have all the answers make me sick. Granted I have done that same thing. Questioning organisized religion is good. Sometimes it takes quiet maddition to trutly grasp something. Find a nice quiet place and read your bible.
