hypocritical how?



You know, I grew up in a VERY strict Baptist home and I attended a private baptist school from preschool until I graduated from high school. I dont know where all this animosity that some of you have is coming from. I mean, I dont follow that religion anymore because of a lot of reasons and I argue with my mom over the "future of my soul", but some of you act like you were forced to blow a catholic priest when you were 5. Even then that isnt an excuse. My father had to testify against a priest for sexual assault that he endured when he was 10. Guess what? He doesnt have a hatred towards Christianity. I think the reason that most of you act like this is because its the HIPSTER thing to be an atheist or scoff at Christianity. Lighten up and learn to be more accepting of other people's beliefs.

you said you wouldn't tell anyone!!

This board is the self-hate, I-loath-all hatemonger message.

I think there may be a misunderstanding. If you actually knew me in person, you would know that I am one of the most accepting and tolerant human beings out there. Sometimes stuff you put on the internet can come off the wrong way. It is hypocritical where I am from because people will go to church, claim they are christians, and claim they despise sin; yet they will go drinking, partying, sinning basically. Everyone sins that is a given. However, there is no need to denounce activities like drinking if members of your own church knowingly engage in them. Let's face it, jesus turned water into wine. I don't hate chritianity or christians. Some of my best friends are christians, and I would have them no other way because that is what makes them who they are. I am not out to change them as long as they are not out to change me. I do enjoy having religious discussions with them, but I never actively push my beliefs on others. Athiesm should not be used to force its ideas on to other human beings just because we do not believe that there is a god out there. I did not mean to come off as intolerant if you took it that way...

Modern Christianity isnt very accepting of drinking because people do not acknowledge their limits, much less stay within them. Any church will tell you that they do not forbid a glass or two of wine....they forbid drunkeness which Christ forbid also. I think there are several misunderstandings about christianity, and this has always been one that bothers me.

That being said, yes there are a lot of your "Sunday Christians"...another words ones that only act holy when they are in church. They have given in to worldly pleasures. I dont see anything wrong with them going out and partying....partying is not a sin. Drinking is not a sin. Acting ridiculously drunk and slutty in front of a bunch of people is a sin. I think that churches preasure young teens too much with rules that really are more strict than they are supposed to be. Churches feel that the best way to not get drunk and stupid is to avoid alcohol all together. Sure. thats cool, but that doesnt mean that a few drinks every now and then makes the Christian any less holy. They are simply having a little fun.

I agree, nothing wrong with christian people having responsible fun.

Church of Christ. Stricter Baptists.

I grew up in a church that openly condemns drinking. I know full well about strict baptist churches. Problem is, they have no basis for their ridiculously strict rules. When this is brought to them, they will eventually admit that drinking in moderation is ok.

Welcome to my world.

I concure. I think its been some groups answer to just cut off anything that can be mis-used instead of learning how to be responsible. They use the whole "if your hand causes you to sin...cut off your hand" technique, instead of realizing that it has never been the hand that caused the sin but a lack of self control.

Personally I think the whole "spreading the good news" idea is more about the way you act and treat others rather than preaching that someones gonna go to hell. The reason a lot of people have no respect for Christians is that they always see the "Christians" who bitch the most and really are just doing it for show (a hell of a lot of them are that way sadly).
