Christianity is a waste of perfectly good White people.

By now, White people should realize that their race should be their religion. We no longer have the "luxury" of treating others as we would like them to treat us because they certainly don't.

Re: Christianity has utterly paralyzed me with indecision, fear, social anxiety, depression, and an expectancy of paradise that will never come..
OP, I totally empathize with you. I was raised Protestant. About 15 years ago (mid 20s) I think I had a total breakdown about the whole thing. I tried sincerely praying to Jesus to be "born again" but felt nothing (and have tried multiple times since). I've always been a good person, but I knew according to the Bible, that isn't good enough. I was convinced no matter what I did I was going to hell (or at minimum, be separated from God forever).

Today, I'm still wrestling with it...I feel Jesus is/was the truth, but I absolutely cannot reconcile him with the God of the OT who is jealous and vengeful. Too many unanswered questions. I feel the Bible is not THE whole story. There's too much else out there.

In my heart and gut, I have not found any "truth" that truly resonates with me on a spiritual level yet. And I feel empty about it, and so I'm still seeking, searching, hoping...

You people are talking about religion. Look up the word religion sometime: it's about bondage. Jesus Christ is the only answer. He is about freedom.

What is it that you are searching for, and who is searching?

These may sound like silly questions, but they are really at the core of the matter. Superficial religion with all the myths and stories and such cannot scratch that itch you speak of and so they do not resonate with a lot of people. Then they start leaving the churches and the folks in the churches blame the devil and demons, but it is really the stuff they are preaching that sends them out the doors.

Why is it so hard for some people to leave their childhood religion even after it no longer makes sense to them? I never had that problem. When I became dissatisfied, I began reading, and literally within a few days I was free and ready to find the truth. Maybe some people just don't want to read? I don't get it but I'm glad I have an inquiring mind.

Reasonable answers that probably can't be proven but make sense to me and resonate with me. The questions I have about life, the world, the universe, etc., the Christian answers do not make sense or satisfy me. I'm searching for connection to something bigger. I feel disconnected from other people in general (I am pretty introverted). I feel like I don't belong here.

Who is asking? I guess my soul...

Re: Christianity has utterly paralyzed me with indecision, fear, social anxiety, depression, and an expectancy of paradise that will never come..
OP, I totally empathize with you. I was raised Protestant. About 15 years ago (mid 20s) I think I had a total breakdown about the whole thing. I tried sincerely praying to Jesus to be "born again" but felt nothing (and have tried multiple times since). I've always been a good person, but I knew according to the Bible, that isn't good enough. I was convinced no matter what I did I was going to hell (or at minimum, be separated from God forever).

Today, I'm still wrestling with it...I feel Jesus is/was the truth, but I absolutely cannot reconcile him with the God of the OT who is jealous and vengeful. Too many unanswered questions. I feel the Bible is not THE whole story. There's too much else out there.

I my heart and gut, I have not found any "truth" that truly resonates with me on a spiritual level yet. And I feel empty about it, and so I'm still seeking, searching, hoping...

What is it that you are searching for, and who is searching?

These may sound like silly questions, but they are really at the core of the matter. Superficial religion with all the myths and stories and such cannot scratch that itch you speak of and so they do not resonate with a lot of people. Then they start leaving the churches and the folks in the churches blame the devil and demons, but it is really the stuff they are preaching that sends them out the doors.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29338205


Reasonable answers that probably can't be proven but make sense to me and resonate with me. The questions I have about life, the world, the universe, etc., the Christian answers do not make sense or satisfy me. I'm searching for connection to something bigger. I feel disconnected from other people in general (I am pretty introverted). I feel like I don't belong here.

Who is asking? I guess my soul...
 Quoting: EscapeTheMatrix


Those are excellent answers. There are deeper levels of christianity and the other religions that don't rely on just taking what's in the book without question. There you will find different expressions of the same eternal truth, one that will let you feel that connection you seek because it is your true nature coming to the surface. If you want to explore this further, you might find this thread a more useful place to do so than this one here, since it is more on point with what you are speaking of.

Thread: At the heart of the various religions, God is teaching that consciousness is not something you have. Consciousness is what you are

Performance based religion and Christianity are not the same.

Religion brings condemnation

Jesus brings freedom

You're obsessive. If it wasn't christianity, it would be whatever else you focus on. Get some help. God Bless.

Be strong OP, and others that are struggling, don't let others discourage you. Don't allow Satan to win.

Luke 8:12
The seeds along the path are those who hear, but the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.

Luke 8:13
Those on the rocky ground are the ones who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root. They believe for a while, but in the time of testing they fall away.

Luke 8:14
The seeds that fell among the thorns are those who hear, but as they go on their way, they are choked by the worries, riches, and pleasures of this life, and their fruit does not mature.

Luke 8:15
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, retain it, and by persevering produce a crop.

Please don't lecture me religitards. I've been a catholic, baptist, methodist, and wesleyan. I've also been a member of the church of christ and a handfull of other churches with the same ole' bullshit being preached in each one, so you're not doing any good here.
Get your head out of your ass and wake up!

There's your problem

These are the apostasy

Their pagan BS doesn't make sense

Read the Bible

It's the end of the age

Happening RIGHT NOW

Jesus will return in your lifetime

Any minute now in fact....
