Christianity and Suicide

[Inkfeather132]

I give you credit for at least admitting that Christians are not being persecuted in this country. Most Christians I know refuse to admit that. And for the record, I get my information about Christians from: My time as a Christian, my Christian friends, and local Christian pastors on the radio. I have never watched those TV pastors you mention because anyone with half a brain knows they are full of shit.
And the reason it's ok for us to judge you, and not for you to judge us, is because we don't believe in a book that tells us not to judge. When you judge, you're being hypocritical. When we do it, it's just judging because we don't see anything wrong with it (or I don't at least).

 Who says we can't judge, it all depends on what we are judging about a person and sometimes it depends on the individual Christian and what is going on with them. I know plenty of Christians who do not believe we in the US are not being persecuted and I know some who do, those who do forget what the Christians in the Middle East go through.
I have a question for you, why do you refer to yourself as a former Christian when you do not know  God and as far as you are concerned never did?

I was a Christian because I was part of the religion. I know a lot of you like to say "Christianity isn't a religion, it's a relationship with god!" Well, you are wrong. A relationship with god is a relationship with god, and Christianity is a religion. You don't have to "know god" at all to be a part of the religion.
And when I was a part of it, I would have told anyone who asked that I did indeed know god. With the same conviction that you say the same now, that's how I was back then. Only recently did I realize that who I knew was myself and that god didn't exist. So you could say I did know god, but my knowledge was incorrect.
