3 reasons for Christians to start questionng their faith

[smax]

I'm happy, filled with a sense of liberty, and not constantly struggling with social and personal dilemmas. Paul writes about the liberty we have in Christ ya know.

I see. Well, one of two things explains your position here. Either:

1. You, like many of the friends I mentioned, do not actually care or understand much about what the bible has, in fact, called you to think, be, and do.

or

2. You do understand, and are just evil and deluded enough to still feel good about it.

That doesn't answer my question. You made claims about yourself, then speak of friends in answer.

Did you really miss the rather obvious point I was making about my friends?

If so, I just illustrated it in the first part of my response. The Christian life is not that perplexing if you don't take it all that seriously, which describes the vast majority of today's Christians.

Like I said, that wasn't me. I saw no point in professing to be a Christian if it wasn't real enough to practice with zeal and conviction.

Give some specific things you do now that you thought you couldn't as a Christian.

It's not just what I couldn't do, it's also what the religion calls it's followers to think, feel, and practice.

The bible encourages men to view and treat women as inferior, promoting the idea that their primary purpose in the church is to simply bear children.

The bible discourages many types of associations that are fairly common in today's progressive society. As a believer, your association with non-believers is to be very limited.

The bible encourages hate and bigotry against various different life-styles, namely that of homosexuals.

Further more, a Christian is called to carefully consider what they watch, read, and participate in.

Single Christians are not to masterbate or have sex outside of marriage.

Oh, I almost forgot the most important part of being a Christian: donating your money!

Now, I have provided a number of examples, and yet they are only a few of many.

The biggest problem for me, however, was the blatant lack of regard for human life and well being that is promoted.

This shouldn't be so hard, unless you're just making stuff up.

I'm not sure which phase of the delusion your at, but this kind of paranoid/conspiracy theory reaction is not a good sign.

I'm close to suggesting that you go seek help. But not quite. We'll see where the rest of the conversation goes.
