I feel free!!

[MissR]

I no longer have any tolerance for Christians, should I? I can't stand to hear "I'll pray for you" any more. Praying seems like begging to someone who isn't even there.

Welcome to the club.

Was forced to be a Christian as a child and hated going to church. I didn't mind the stories about Christ, they were amusing. But the bible is almost impossible for me to read or believe. It seems to me that whenever whoever wrote the bible many people were seeing and hearing things. Today we have a name for that. What if someone today wrote all the things he/she said and heard in their psychosis? Would anyone pay them any mind? The stories from the bible or from my catechism classes, now that I look back, are all fairy tales that in one's right mind wouldn't believe. Why did I take it all so seriously at one time.

I was afraid to do anything because "God" was watching according to the mean priest who gave us a lecture on purity and not touching one another or oneself. Oh the awful fears I had instilled in me.

But now I am free from the church!! I don't believe a lick of that b.s. I'm not even an agnostic because it's absurd to think there even might be a God imho.

With freedom comes great responsibility.

What great responsibility are you speaking of. I am not responsible.
