Hey,
I was curious to know how many people on this forum have ever had to clash and/or deal with family members as a result of deciding to not fallow in the comman faith of them.
Like in my case,
I was raised as a Baptist Christian and my family is really big on god. Now and days, however, I've begone questioning whether he was the loving god people made him out to be, and whether he even exists (thanks to having discussions and debates with a good friend of myn).
It seemed the more I learned it became harder and harder to logicly and morally defend what I believed. Even if he did exist, in my views, I would never worship him again because I do not believe he is worthy of my praise nore has the right to judge my actions after everything he did in the Bible. Damning people to hell souly on the basis of beliefs is not the work of a loving being...but an oppresor.
But anywho, I digressed...
Its hard having to keep what I truely believe secret for fear of constant BS and lectures. Was just wondering if anyone has ever had experiences similar to this?
