why dont you open your heart to Zeus? WHy cant you accept people are different than you. God made us look and act different for a reason. we are supposed to be different not conform. Anyways this is how i feel about christianity not that you care because christians only care about themselves.
Christianity makes a mockery of God. At the same time that Christians claim to worship God as an omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent being, they make him out to be incompetent bumbler. Or worse. Simple forgiveness is beyond his capacities. God must "sacrifice himself to himself to change a rule he made himself!"
This is not only an absurdity, it is an essential absurdity. It is present in almost almost all forms of Christianity, and one can scarcely remove it and remain a Christian in anything but name. By definition, all Christians worship Christ - in some form - and most worship him as a saviour.
But what, exactly, is he saving us from? Though it varies from church to church, no matter what they call it, it's God himself. A hell created by God, a world fallen as a result of God's negligence, a separation from God imposed... by God.
"It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being."
- Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith
Christianity certainly isn't the first religion to promote appeasement of its gods, and if it were merely another supernatural protection racket, it would be bad enough. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Christians elevate appeasement to the realm of "personal relationship", transforming their religion into a true monstrosity.
This is the type of "relationship" that abused wives have with their husbands, that brainwashed hostages have with their captors. It is known in clinical circles as Stockholm Syndrome. Should it come as any surprise that the cries of the church, "The Bride of Christ" sound much like the cries of an abused wife attempting to protect her husband?
"He must beat me."
"I deserve it."
"He has no choice."
"It's for my own good."
These excuses don't work for human abusers, and they work even less well for God. For if God is omnipotent, he must have a choice. And if we are flawed, we are only flawed because that is the way he made us. (No excuses that we ruined his perfect creation. A truly perfect creation does not self-destruct.)
If the Christian God does exist - and I see no reason to believe that he does - he's not worthy of the name.
And that is the ultimate absurdity of Christianity.

Sin is Sin no matter how small or large, no matter few or many, no matter saved or not
He just said believe in me, not all the other bull crap that Christianity is about, Christianity is a club but he said
You just Have to believe and accept him as your Lord and savior
nothing else, you can get more involved if you wish, but its not required. People do not realize this not even Christians

i tried that. When the myth node in the collective unconscious picked up the phone, i did some research and found out the truth.
Yeshua ben yeoseph was the actual person, "jesus" is a myth based on Yeshua but mixed with dionYSIUS which gradually fell apart and degraded into JSIUS and then Jesus. So, thanks, but i will refrain from worshipping false idols.

For sin in general. For the whole world. That is all that needed to be done. My belief in that will not change that fact. My actions can no longer by valued as sin, since sin is a mute point.
You cannot escape God, He is a part of us. It is only in our mind that we think we are seperated.

I know Jesus. And Buddha. And Mohammad. I was once born again, and then I started some serious reading on the subjects of christianity and science and evolution. And now I am born anew into the natural world. And god is in everything and everyone and every religion or lack of one. We don't throw out god by rejecting christianity; we throw out god by our actions and our inactions
Chief Tecumseh said it so well: "Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours."

"Christ the son of Mary was no more than an Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!"
QURAN (5:75)

Why do you assume I haven't opened my heart to Jesus if I know him?Or anyone else for that matter.If they don't believe then nothing you say will matter.So, just be a good Christian and follow the word of God and leave other people to their own God given free will to choose their own path.

Not my sins buddy, I wasn't even alive then. Do you understand that if others want to share you faith THEY will seek YOU out. Get over yourself.
