My problem with many religious people, especially American protestants, is their focus (or lack thereof) on the PRINCIPLES. They speak about Jesus and how they praise this man but wouldn't dare to live on the principles that this man represented. These principles obviously include stuff like, "Love thy neighbor", "Treat people the way YOU would probably like to be treated", simple stuff, really.
The reality is, people are trying to survive. They fear what's on the other side of life and need a quick way to enlightenment and spiritual development, as if they know what that really is. There is this guy on breast tube talking about how religion is basically fast food philosophy, hastily prepared laden with GMO vegetable oil and high fructose syrup with a seasoning of fluoride crystals.
I don't know, just my couple of pennies.
Religion as you know it is false, most all people who say they are a "Christian" have no clue what they're talking about. Being a "Christian" means you "follow" Christ. Nobody follows Christ, because nobody knows what Christ said, because nobody reads the Bible, and no Church ever reads the Bible, therefore nobody has any idea whatsoever on what Christ said, therefore nobody is following him.
Everything the Church teaches is false, and in fact is the exact opposite of what the Bible says.
If we go by what Christ said alone, then basically all of us are screwed, we are all going to Hell....
If we go by what Paul said, then there is a slight chance we may be saved if we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior....
However, in Revelations it does clearly show that people are allowed to repent to God, and be saved and not go to Hell, so clearly there is a chance for all of us I guess....
I'm a good person, but my problem is sex, simple as that.....
I can't freaking fornicate and I don't want to get stuck as lap dog in marriage so I'm screwed in that sense....
If it were not for that I think I would be ok in that I live life now in a good way....
You see we're suppose to live in a moral society where we get married and be with one person for life, this creates a very steady society that works, and creates healthy families....
When you do anything other than that one construct it will turn into chaos and collapse, it does this for a very complex set of reasons that is well within my level of understanding but at the same time is not known to me in it's entirety because it's very complex by it's very nature......
This is what's causing my problem and dilemma on a moral front.
Paul did say though "it's better to marry than to burn".....
So, maybe it's better to be a lap dog than to gnaw and gnash teeth....
I'm going to go get a Filipina and marry one of them, and just be careful with the wallet and bank account, that's the best way to go I guess because I'm really don't do the gnawing and gnashing of teeth thing well....
For those who don't believe in God and Christ and Heaven and Hell, good for you, I hope that Christ is lenient with you and doesn't throw you into Hell, only he knows what he's going to do, not I.....
"Better to marry than to burn".....
And that comes from Paul, who is the only hope there is by what he said that Christ is going to save us by accepting him as their Lord and Savior.
If we go by what Christ said then we are all screwed, unless you're able to make yourself without sin, and that's pretty darn hard to do....
But maybe Christ will be lenient on us all since we live in this end time and things are so bad for us all, and maybe if we don't worship the antichrist, who is coming really soon now, then we will make it....
Then I'm in no problem, for while I may not be able to resist my sexual thoughts all the time and certainly can tell this little gray alien f**k to shut his punk little mouth and that he is not the living God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, nor is he the Son of God or God's special Christ.
