I was a christian my whole life, so I know a thing or two about it. I know all the stories. why do you think I have CHOSEN to not follow christianity now? well, despite what jolly may say, no it wasn't just because my girlfriend broke up with me. but it did really open my eyes. and I started seeing things in a new light. I couldn't just blindly trust anything anymore after that, I had to know what it was all about. so I looked back on everything I had been taught in sunday school or church, and it really doesn't make much sense. believing in some god out there. I mean, when I was at one sunday school, the youth pastor was going around asking people why they believed in God.. for most, they said "well, he's just always been there for me" or "because he's answered my prayers"... how do you know those answered prayers are coincedences? I mean, why else would some prayers be answered, and not others? don't start on me with the "well, God knows what's best for us, so sometimes he has to say no in our best interests" because it doesn't always get better because he said no to the prayer. and the whole "he's always been there for me" thing.. now, having a hope to hang on to may have pulled you through, but that doesn't mean he's there. he didn't do anything for you. you pulled yourself through with that hope of a God.

if you ask alot of christians about other religions, they wouldn't be able to tell you much about other religions.. so if you don't even know what other religions believe in, how can you be so deadsure that you're religion is right? it's because it's what you've been taught your whole life.. but that doesn't make it right. some people have been taught evolution since they were little, and now they are deadsure it's right too... but you obviously can't both be right. if you would really open your eyes, stop being so hard-hearted, and really look into it, you may come up with the same conclusion I did. of course, I still couldn't prove there is no God, and I couldn't prove evolution is real either (I still don't believe in evolution btw) right now I don't really believe in anything. I know that I'm here, where I am right now, doing what I'm doing right now, and I just live out one day at a time.

You know, Ill be honest with you. I became a Christian because I was brought up that way. The faith was already put into me because that is what I was taught. But I have since had my views challenged and really had to think about them. To me, the Bible is the only religion that isnt corrupt. The rules are set in stone and pretty easily understood. The Muslims wage war on everyone who doesnt believe, the Catholics think you can buy your way into heaven, yadda yadda yadda. The Bible says "love thy neighbor." I see prophecy already taking place today. Look at our situation in the middle east with the Jews and Palestinians. The Bible tells us all the Jews will return to Israel and they will rebuild the temple. Well, the world isnt exactly pro-Israel and theyve already had talks of rebuilding the temple. Countries such as France are already running Jews out of there. Scientfically, the Bible could make sense if the events found in the Bible occured. As we've had this discussion before, the events basically would have had to occur in an unscientific manner, but afterwards you could apply scientific methods. There is so much proof of the existance for a God, and I choose to have faith and believe in Him. I wouldnt give up on my faith because some chick dumped me cuz shes a loser and wanted to date my best friend. Though it might seem God is against you, maybe its not you whos the problem its her.
