Religious Right continue to push Old testament ideas (hatred for homosexuals and creationism) but what happened to forgiveness and kindness to the less fortunate?

There's nobody persecuting you. A majority of former members are angry because your religion is very authoritarian. Don't believe your church is authoritarian? Tell your Elders you're on this site talking to "opposers" and see if you're not excommunicated for talking to a former member. Folks, that's why they call your religion a cult.

Most of the "persecution" you're facing good old fashioned backlash and critical thought. Don't like backlash and critical thought?

Don't excommunicate members for going against the rule of the society and don't preach bullshit like Jesus coming invisibly in 1914. Until then, expect criticism and backlash.

Also, have any of you taken critical thought in college or high school? Do you realise making attacks on people's reputation or motives for asking a question isn't a way to discredit them, but rather makes you look evasive towards their inquiry?

But I'm sure that'll fall on deaf ears. Let the ad hominem fest continue! :)

Granting there's nothing there after you die, at least you believed. You lose nothing, you gain nothing.

But if you don't believe now and there IS God, then what?

The Bible says that Satan knows the Scriptures more than you and I. He can become an angel of light. He can take any form he likes, because he is the current ruler of this world. He has plenty of his underlings who are ready to do his bidding. One thing they cannot do. That is, they cannot say that "Jesus is Lord". The Bible says, by their fruits you can know them. That's how we can make out the fake from the real ones

Moses said thus saith the Lord "the life of the flesh is in the blood and ive given it to make atonement for your souls." Leviticus 17 vs 11---
well alot of my Jewish people say im wrong to believe Moses-and im not a Jew now-hello-who is the traitor here?
please pray for me and my Jewish and all people too to have eyes to see the truth-"Jesus saith, i am the way the truth and the life, no one cometh to the father but by me."
Isaiah predicted and Jesus fulfilled the first part to suffer as our Messiah and is here to bring us peace Shalom in our heart-and will return t o finish the rest=Zechariah 12 vs 10-"And we shall look upon him whom we have pierced, and mourn as a mom who lost her only child."
well as Isaiah predicted (700bce) "He shall be exaulted, but first marred more than any man, and be the anointed one the Messiah, who dies for our sins as a lamb and makes atonement for our souls." Isaiah 52 vs 13-53 vs 12- so i prayed his prayer-Revelation 3 vs 19&20 and wow

Anytime i pick a check out at the supermarket i get stranded! either check out assistant doesn't know a price for customer ahead of me, or else needs to change her roll, has entered the wrong price has to wait for supervisor to fix it, whatever! Anything that can go wrong with previous customer always happens! In fact i had it all! Including a fire alarm just as i put my first item on the conveyor!!! Most people seem to have an easy ride whereas i never do. I've tried Tesco, Superquinn, Dunnes', Marks and Sparks and Asda when we go up north! Invariably happens to me. Argh!!! Help someone!!!

If Satan can take the form of person shouldn't we be more careful about who we trust?

Why hasn't anyone realized that god is the ultimate terrorist? All your life, he holds you hostage. If you don't meet his demands, he will throw you into a fiery pit for all eternity. You only get one shot, one chance to give him what he wants, and if you fight back or call his bluff, he'll kill your dog. Remember, he had a bear kill a group of children just because they made fun of the prophet Elijah being bald.

I've done so many bad things and I feel guilty about them later but I keep on doing bad things.
I tried to pray away the guilt but it doesn't work.
Is this normal or am I like a demon or something???
