just because i question certain religious beliefs why is it assumed that i am not a spiritual person.
what makes anyone think that i question just to be facetious?
has anyone ever thought that those of us that question or belive in something else has given christianity a try and found it wanting?
these are some things that should be considered before you judge us like your bible says not to do.

thank you. that is how i feel. i don't know how many times people look at me like i an immoral just because i don't believe. I don't have orgies, i don't sacrifice my children or chickens, i don't do drugs, i don't rape or murder. I have morals and i am a good person but it always seems the people who are supposed to "judge not lest ye be judged" are the first ones to here that i don't believe what they believe and think i am some kind of monster!!!!

Maybe what we are seeing is a knee jerk reaction to the old question of "what is the difference between spirituality and religion?"
Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell and spirituality is for people who have been there. You are right, we are not supposed to judge, yet, when we do, we are not bad, we are just someone who judged. And you should not judge the person (who you directed your question to) who questioned your spiritual belief system.
I suggest we are all on our own spiritual journey, and as one Eastern belief said "one journey, many paths, one light, many lanterns".
Peace

I am a Christian and I agree with you.I don't mind the questioning, what I mind is the people who write in Jesus slept with..... or GOD is a ...........You can have respect for people even if you don't believe what they believe. Oh and your right, we are not supposed to judge.

Muffy isn't being judgemental, she's being discerning. Christians are told we must discern whether someone's statements conflict with the Bible; if they do, we are to reject that person's statements. It's as simple as that.
It's a fallacy the Bible tells Christians we can NEVER judge. There are clearly some areas where we are urged to discern as a means of protecting our beliefs.

why would you want to be facetious and possible turn people away?
That is a dangerous area and sorry if I have offended you, but I just want you to know how awesome it is when you accept Him
God bless
