My faith was questioned today. Apparently, in order to believe you have to go to church to worship. You simply can not worship in your own home or in your own heart by studying the Bible and praying to GOD alone. It seems the very ones that judge are the ones that go to Church. Do you agree?

Lol maybe you can't remain faithful to your own religion on your own because you need it dictated to you. Congregational religion is a crock of shit.

I don't agree. Religious organizations are contradictory. For each one that tells you you can't do something, there are tonnes who will tell you that you can. Disregard these ones and find the ones who will agree with you. It's as simple as that.

Bible study without knowledge of historical context is a waste of time, IMO.
Anyway, if you don't like what one congregation tells you, find another.

Wtf? What does common sense tell to you? Are you a brainwashed moron? Originally Posted by Love Portion #9

If I am dumb enough to not know which religion I belong to, that means I don't believe, thats it.
Thats why I don't like religion.Last edited by boobaa; 08-10-08 at 06:26 AM.

this is probably why i gave up god a long time ago... religion is (imo) a waste of time.
side note... if this thread gets out of hand, someone will have to delete it. i'll leave it at that.
raverboy...this is just my perspective on the situation...

But on a serious note, it's not as if this would be the first (or thousandth, and nowhere near as harmless) example of religion being used to control people.

I'm not going to be told what's the RIGHT way to believe in something.
