Do you think you could follow God/Christ and the bible too much where you start forgetting about reality, like slacking with your laundry, job...etc. Running to bible study to the next bible study..etc

Dear Believer:
I do not accept the Bible as God’s word because it contains thousand of errancies and contradictions that can not be solved, only rationalized. I refuse to accept Jesus as my personal savior, for his behavior and teachings often expose one who should be escaped and not worshipped. I ask that you read this pamphlet in light of the bible’s teachings; Christians should be “open to reason” (James 3:17 RSV), that we should “reason together” (Isaiah 1:18) and “he who hates correction will die” (Proverbs 15:10) to understand my perspective that the bible has MANY shortcomings.
1. According to your Bible I am to believe that human kind is sinful for Adam and Eve ate the fruit of knowledge. Why are we being punished for the original sin? After all, they ate the forbidden fruit, we didn’t. Reason would lead one to say it’s their problem, not ours. Even the bible contradicts itself by claiming in Deuteronomy 24:16, “children shall not be punished for the sins of their fathers.”
2. We are told that the Bible has no scientific errors and is utterly perfect/protected, yet it says the bat is a bird (Leviticus 11:13 & 19), hares chew the cud (Leviticus 11:5-6), and some fowl (Leviticus 11:20-21) and insects (Leviticus 11:22-23) have four legs.
3. Heaven is supposed to be a perfect place. It is of course, the place you strive for and name “salvation”. Yet, it experienced a war (Revelation 12:7). How can there be a war in a perfect place and if it happened before why couldn’t it happen again? Why would I want to go to a place in which war can occur? That’s exactly what I’m trying to escape, aren’t you?

You can be a Christian and live your life in reality.
Praying and communicating to God is better done by the heart. Let your heart speaks.
So, while your heart speaks to God, your body, hands, feet are doing mortal activities.
That is for the general Christians.
We all have different priorities in life.
You can find people who really loves to talk all the time about God, tell their wonderful experiences, their wake-up calls done by God, and also wants to lead other people to pathway towards God. They`re doing fine. It is voluntary.
If you can`t do these kind of job, sacrifices and interest...well, just do your own thing...and they will do their own too with God`s reward of unending happiness.
How about following their footsteps

You can never follow Christ and the bible too much..This life is very short compared the eternity that you will spend in either Heaven or Hell when you die. Your body will give out one day but your soul lasts forever.

We must pray not to forget reality.
Why?
Because this reality needs our prayers.
We all must try to do exactly what we say or think; it is very important to care for those around!
We are here, on the blue planet, to learn a Lesson, not to live thirty, forty,seventy or ninety years thinking what pleasure did I miss?!
If every soul will take care of another soul things will be better:
- in our families;
- in our town/city;
- on our planet.
All human beings are forge ting that God is Love, Jesus died on the cross for all of us. If we really care for that, we'll start thinking correctly! But for that we need prayer, most of us think that prayer it is ... optional, but it is not.
Through prayer we receive the strength we need in the everyday fight...even if we don't think so.
We must live as our Lord lived!
May God bless you all!

Definitely, some can become obsessed and forget about real life, like an obsessed Harry Potter fan

First Christianity is reality. Second, no God would not want us to forget our responiblities(at least not untill we are in heaven).

Yes! I've known people who did that. It can become a "drug" just like World of Warcraft or any other thing. Balance people!
