15 pages I didn't read anything apart from a few pages adding to the pile.
I agree, some people experience things in life, can't handle it and seek religion such as Christianity as their way of coping and not being afraid of certain things such as death. Or just use it as a tool like loads of other things to benefit themselves.
In my opinion, just like many others, in 1000s of years Christianity, while it possibly is now, will have morphed into another religion or just die out. It probably already has to a point but I don't know enough about it. Christianity didn't do it for me, it was too inconsistent from what I was being told. Also I felt it was manipulative, as they tried to reel you in from a young age...but I think it's the same for many other religions? You don't know enough about anything to be having things like that forced upon you e.g. a communion trying to make people do certain things etc. It's all been corrupt from early days, from money to whatever, I think of many religions. At least in the past thousand years.
I like to speculate but I don't know what the answer to religions etc are, but at the same time you don't know and there you go you'll find out someday so create your own morals. Something made something and it can be whatever from a gas to a creature. Science changes all the time too. Most things are corrupt in some form, so it's your own choice.
Haha reading these pages back some funny posts.
This is exactly the reason me and my kid's mum didn't get my kid Christened. It's not on, in my opinion. When people ask what my issue is with it, they're normally met with 'You're forcing your child to believe in a God they know fuck-all about, and you have no right. Let them choose what to do, when they're older, or you end up with someone like me'. Haha. I put my nearing anti-theist ways down to having it forced on me. 'I don't want to go to church, I don't like it.' 'Tough, you're going.' Not the way to make a child into a Christian - more like the opposite. Whether it was a way of beating the ADHD out of me, or whether it was just because my mum was brought up Catholic... Who knows? I know I hate it more and more, each day that passes.
What do you people with kids tell them? If you're a Christian, do you try and force them to follow it? If you're an atheist, do you try and teach that? I have done, personally. My kid goes to a school where 99% of the kids are Muslim (really not my choice), as he had to move around a bit. I have no issue with skin colour, but I do have an issue with children telling my son that he's going to hell, for believing in Santa. It makes me fucking sick that people teach their kids to say that to other people, and pick on them. I've basically told him it's all shit, and he's intelligent enough to understand why (proof, dinosaurs, etc.). I don't want to raise him as an anti-theist - if he wants to believe in a religion, then that's fine, as long as he's old enough. I'd certainly try and talk him out of it, though, if he tried Christ out. He's very similar to how I was, as a kid, and even the way I am now (unlucky fucker, eh?).
Acid: Their practices; cold turkey and sign wearing (?!) sound fucking abhorrent. You have my sympathies with all that, and I can understand how 'they' got you with all that shit. Do you believe you'd be a Christian, if it wasn't for drugs?
your fairy stories PP.
