Better reasons to quit Christianity

[catfish]

You forgot to mention my reason... To bring about the "New Covenent"

"Christianity" has been used and abused by those in power to control the masses for centuries.

Hell is used to scare the populace into conformity.
Tithing is used to bilk the populace out of their money.
"Brotherhood" has been used to exclude people of different faiths and customs.

I would love to see the wealthiest organization in the world use their money to end world hunger, wouldn't you?

I would say that your answer falls under one (or perhaps all three) of these categories. Wouldn't you?

Hey all:

I think I've responded to everyone. Please let me know if I missed one of your posts. When you have the time, I'd like to know what you think of my responses.

I should amend my previous statement. The answers given so far fall under four main categories:

1. There's no reason to restrict my behavior
2. There is no God
3. There is no soul that survives the body after death, and so, no judgement for one's behavior
4. The Bible is not a reliable, historical document

Hi again spockrates.

What I think of your responses is that you have your mind made and nothing anyone says will change it. I posted a couple of threads about direct contradictions which most here seem to be afraid to deal with.

Atheists don't want to deal with them because they show God is not as bad as they claim the Bible shows. Christians don't want to deal with them because it goes against the "infallible" theory.

Anyways, my reason falls under none of your above reasons.

Basically, here's my reason.

Bringing about the "New Coveneant" as described in the Bible would mean there will be no more disagreements. Everyone will know God, everyone will stop being dickheads and trying to force their beliefs on others. When a person has "God's Law" written on their hearts, there will be no need to restrict your behavior as it would be righteous.

I think the Bible is very reliable.
When it says the scribes lied, I believe it.
When it says the prophets lied, I believe it.
When it says people have oppressed their neighbors, I believe it.
