To the asshole who told me I was going to hell bcs I'm not a christian.
Dear judgemental ass,
Just bcs your church told you that God is an old man with a long white beard, sitting on a throne with another guy wearing a crown of thorns on his head seated at his right, doesn't make it so.
And just bcs they told you that some book, written by men and changed over and over by other men to make it fit their beliefs and to help them gain power and wealth, is the word of God, doesn't make it so.
And just bcs they told you that if you didn't close your mind to all other possibilities and stop thinking, learning and growing, that your non-physical form would, somehow after death, will be trapped in a firey pit, where it will be tortured with physical pain for all of eternity, while a little red man with horns and a pitchfork pokes you in the butt, doesn't make it so.
So...good luck with that.
I come from an agnostic past, then became a Christian, then left my church after 15 years due to irreconsilable differences - too intolerant. I am still a Christian but not a member of any church. I hope one day to overcome the criticalness I feel towards organized religion and find a group more in line with where I believe God's heart to be.
ReplyDeleteYour experience is a sad testimony to religion today and not reflective of the bible (which I know very well). It's too bad.
