Not a Man of Faith

 

I was raised United Methodist and my parents made me attend Sunday School and Church every Sunday (even on vacation-minus Sunday School) until I graduated from High School.  Consequently, I have heard every major story and/or parable the Bible has to offer several times.  I have also read the Bible from cover to cover and took notes, copying passages I thought were important.

While I do believe that the universe has a creator, I am not convinced that God is that creator, given the immensity of the universe and the belief that life (Human Beings) was created and put on earth ONLY.  Plus, the Bible is full of scientific errors, the least of which is that the universe is only 6,000 years old, when science says otherwise.

But the clincher for me was when churches in the USA portrayed Jesus as Caucasian.

There are 12 major, recognized, religions in the world today, so why do ministers, pastors, and priests believe that ONLY CHRISTIANITY is the correct one...  and, of the Christian Churches, why do Baptists believe that their denomination is the only correct one?

This, to me, is narrow minded thinking...

However, and this comment is directed only at Americans and those illegals who are living in America, why is there NO TOLERANCE for people who publicly demonstrate their religious beliefs.

I don't believe in what you believe, but it is your right to think and believe any way that you desire, in fact, it is actually none of my business.

But, here in America, we are killing people who do not believe like we do...

And, it is my opinion, that the Democrats are the ones who are pushing that belief...

I will never trust, nor will I vote for anyone who thinks I am wrong because I don't agree with them.  And, I see no reason to debate you to try to change your POV nor will you change my POV.  I accept you and that is as far as it needs to go.
