What's your problem with christianity?

[gitonga]

A big problem I had initially was which version is the right one? Is it the Catholics? Episcopalians? Baptists? Methodists? Or one of the hundreds of other branches, or even subdivisions of a particular branch?

well the way i see it is there is no right or wrong way as long as they believe in jesus being God other than that i think the rest are just formalities about how they go about things. Infact the church i go to was founded by methodist anglican and presbiterian..only example i can relate this to off the top of my is a push up, there soo many versions..close arm wide arm shoulder width spider push ups, diamond push ups..but as long as it works the shoulders triceps and chest and involves a pushing motion etc then its a push up, there is no right or wrong one just different

Then when I learned how the Bible was compiled... So much room for error. Then there's the issue of what the Bible contains: talking snakes, a vengeful, genocidal god, so many contradictions, so many rules and regulations, and each sect has its own views on which rules are "true" rules that need to be adhered to... I gave up trying to figure it all out and chucked it.

please expound on the room for error...Talking snakes? if you've never seen a parrot before would you believe me if i told you it could talk?? As for the genocide not to be impolite but to me that counts as genetic fallacy: looking at how things were as opposed to how they are now...the genocides are over at least to the best of my knowledge. As to the adhering of rules there's a funny story to that told by joseph prince he said that the isralites said "there's nothing God Can command us that we can't do" and God listed all the rules in the bible to show them that they can't make it to heaven on their own that was the whole point of getting saved
