u mean u ditched your faith in christ because there is a lot of hypocrits in the churches? piss weak faith u had to begin with then. As for the dealers? well it's fucked up that he failed to mention the liqour merchants.
Perhaps just strong faith tested one too many times.
Seriously, what Christianity is supposed to be about is just about the last thing many Christians practice. Notice, I say many, there are some that I have no problem with.
But in all seriousness, to disbelieve scientific fact is pretty fucking absurd no matter who you are.
And to pervert religion to justify ones actions or to twist it to advance your own aims in my opinion makes you a piece of horse shit.
I respect all religions so long as they aren't perverted, and Christianity and Islam here in America and the middle east respectively are being perverted, here in America much more so than in the middle east, before somebody calls me racist or some shit.
But seriously, Buddhist philosophy does make more sense to me than any religion that involves a deity.... I suppose Buddhism is more a suggestion of an ideal to strive for though, it doesn't say "Those who don't believe will die and burn in hell... forever." Mmhmm. If God is all loving, then how can he justify sending anyone to Hell, hmm? Shit, if God is so all loving, he wouldn't even send us HERE to this world. No, I don't believe in gods because I can't see them or sense them in any way, and I don't believe that sentience can exist in any form that lacks a physical form. But if there were a god, in this world, he would have to be one of those old gods, the vengeful and cruel type.
Mmhmm.
