Was a Christian for over 30 years now I identify as an agnostic atheist. I've thought about this question also. I absolutley think you are correct. The internet definently is what broke my belief. Seeing opposing views and arguments and realizing they made more sense is what killed my faith. My whole family is still Christian and they simply will not even listen to any opposing arguments. Maybe someday their faith shell will crack and break under the pressure of reason and logic like mine did. Religion I think is a deeply held emotional belief that is what makes it hard for people to let go of. I think it's better for people to care more about what's true and at the very least be open to hearing opposing views. If it's true it will withstand scrutiny. Yeah, it was kinda painful during parts of deconversion, but so worth it, I'm glad it happened just wish it could have happened sooner in life. I have no problem listening to Christians opposing veiws and arguments but many of them get upset and tell me to stop talking if I return the favor by criticizing christianity.

I totally get what you're saying. It's really hard to get ppl to see who are so caught up in religion and especially with family but IMO once you begin to seek the truth and research one will start to question. So until then I don't think it's much you can do and yes they get very upset. I too was a christian about 6 years ago and left it all. What a liberating feeling it is!

Back at the end of 1,000 YEARS of oppression, when transport and nautical technologies began to really advance, people were now exposed to Asia, which had NOT been effectively shut down by Christianity. That created a demand back in Europe to expand, to throw off the church's hysterical constraints on knowledge and advancement. That's one reason the church HATED the printing press. They could no longer be in total control of literacy and communication. The current 7M, 7 Mountain movement is trying to re-establish control over the world.

I am a Christian but Christianity is not a religion. Most people see it as a religion but it's not. There are many kinds of religion, all saying that you have to do something in order to gain whatever it is that you're looking for. Christianity is so much different. It's simply believing in the One who died for you so that you don't have to die. It's much more and beyond biological death. It's only by the Holy Spirit that you can come into the presence of Almighty God and that alone through Jesus Christ.

Well, not all religions discourage critical thinking since my religion teaches critical thinking and is against indoctrination, as well as restricted to 18+ to prevent minors from indoctrinating themselves because they are very unlikely to understand how to believe in my religion correctly. I think it's positive that religions which discourage critical thinking are on the decline, but I don't think religion is just going to go away, instead, I think it's going to start evolving into something different.

Assalamualaikum Brother, "He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book; in it there are verses that are decisive in meaning--they are the basis of the Book--and there are others that are ambiguous. Those whose hearts are swerving with disbelief follow the ambiguous part, seeking to create dissension and seeking wrong interpretation of it. None knows its interpretation except Allah, and those firmly grounded in knowledge say: 'We believe in it; it is all from our Lord.' And none heed except those gifted with understanding." (Qur'an 3:7) Brother, have you ever read this quote or ever try to understand it's meaning. Just now saw ur video, "why u not accept Islam" where u quote some muslim beliefs (which u not feeling to be correct) ALSO U QUOTE EINSTEIN WORDS AND QUANTUM THEORY, Those quotation must have to been seen in same eyes (how u questions Islam) cos both are belief i.e., science is also BELIEF cos you did not check each and every statement to be correct.... You just accepted what scientist feed you I think ur not comfortable in believing Islam but with science... END OF THE DAY BOTH ARE BELIEFS. WHY U CAN BELIEVE WHICH IS MORE ORGANISED AND WHICH HAVE MORE MORAL VALUES ?????

We create morals. Not science nor supposed God. We create them. We decide what is moral. This is found in all parts of the world. You will see it's humans that decide and agree upon what is moral. What religions often do though is claim that there God outlined what is moral. But that always comes through a human, for some reason. Never from their God directly to them

Dude, look how many times you said “I think” in this video. If you read the Bible for 20 years you’d see plastered all over the place how God despises vanity, human “wisdom”, arrogance, etc. Yet you’re basing everything on what you think. “God isn’t giving me enough feedback, even though I admit I feel it sometimes” “God didn’t make this easy enough to understand” “this feels incomplete to me as a finite human judging an infinite God”, you have to see the logic error in that. First, the disciples themselves had struggles with faith and Jesus made them the heads of his church. Paul was literally approving the death of Christians, and Jesus chose him. So if Jesus chose them, why wouldn’t he choose you? Second, if you look at the first millennia of Christianity you’d find a lot more of that consistency in doctrine (obviously with a few outliers because again, we’re finite beings interpreting an infinite God) But when Protestants (key word protest) came around with this Solo/Sola Scriptura, then that’s going to cause things to go all over the place when it comes to doctrine; which it did. Even so, a bunch of disagreements doesn’t logically come to the conclusion of a false religion. Why blame the God, and not the people themselves that are disagreeing? Paul even said in the Bible that people hold some days over others (Sabbaths), some foods over others (dietary laws from the OT), etc., so minor disagreement was allowed as long as the intent was right and the focus was on the Trinity. At the end of the day, you gave up on God and He never gave up on you. & The thing is, He still hasn’t given up on you. It’s never too late, but remember those parables (by the way of which you took too literal. The parables are meant to be representations of things, he didn’t literally mean you’re going to move mountains and whatever other parable you misrepresented).
@FtdThinks
@FtdThinks Месяц назад
Sounds like your God is doing a bad job in clarifying what is the correct form of Christianity. That's on your god to sort out. But he keeps failing at it. What you're describing is anyone can just make up interpretations that fit their ideas and agenda and say it's from god, like Paul. Like Jesus. Like Moses. Like Abraham. All according to the Bible claiming certain things and changing doctrines and reinterpreting doctrines. This has been happening way before the protestant movement lol. The fact that there is a new testament means that doctrine was changed by people. And if we're finite beings interpreting an infinate god, then by your logic, not even you can claim to know what your god wants or how your god operates. So it's again up to your god to reveal himself/herself/itself to people in ways that they can all understand. Until then, I will stay away from the confusion and insanity of Christianity.

I wouldn't "try" something that I don't believe in. That would also have problems, I know the penalty for apostasy in Islam. But yes, I have gone to Muslim places of worship, I have read through many parts of the Quran, and see that I would never want to be Muslim. I am ear that lifestyle does not suit me. That's like asking you "Have you tried Sikhism?" You may have researched it a bit, but are clear that it doesn't suit you, right? Also, that would defeat the whole purpose of "converting/reverting" sincerely. So Again, it doesn't suit me, just as any other religion doesn't suit you. You don't need to "try" them to come to that conclusion, right?

I see a problem with what you said. A sense of belonging and social comfort in our faith does not define our interactions with the creator and sustainer of life. God. What i mean is fellowship with believers is good but we must model our spiritual lives in the same way the spiritual world does. Unbelievers act and react like demons, and true believers act like the angels of God. The fellowship we have with people is also spiritual led in negative and positive ways. Demons fellowship to promote sin and ownership. Angels fellowship as servants of God and pledge loyalty to each other in that understanding.
