Why Did You Leave Christianity Behind?

When will this ancient scam come to an abrupt end? How will it come to an abrupt end? How will every form of perversity be purged from the mind of man?

Oh yeah, there is one thing. When those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth awaken, they will purify their minds and become refined making their robes shining white, but the wicked will continue in wickedness and none of them will understand.

When exactly will that happen?

It already happened and is happening man! The blind can see, the deaf can hear, the dumb speak, the lame walk, the crooked are made straight and the dead are coming out of their graves.

Hurry up an get with the program sparkie, before the door to the kingdom is closed.

Because you don't believe any of this, that's why I'm not going to get with your program.

Lets be real. You don't know what I'm talking about, you don't know what you are talking about, you don't know what to do so you have decided to do nothing.

Brilliant!

I do now what you are talking about. What I am proving is that you don't believe what you are talking about. The perversity you are talking about is belief in God. The universal restoration you are talking about is the ending of belief in God. You are speaking in code.

I know what you want me to believe you are talking about. I just don't believe that is what you are talking about. If you were talking about the end of times and the second coming of Christ, you would have explained that already. I don't believe you believe in God. I believe that you are an atheist.

Is everyone who rejects your professed belief that Jesus is God to you a subversive atheist socialist?

Are you that inept?


Nevermind...

Is that you way of saying that you believe in God? Most people would actually say something like, I believe in God but I don't believe that Jesus was God. A subversive on the other hand would say some bullshit like you just said to imply that you believed in God without ever really having to admit that you believed in God. Now do you understand?

What perversity were you talking about? Man's absence of good? Man's rejection of God? Or his misguided belief in the nature of God? Which one is really more perverse?

Oh yeah, I understand all that.

What I don't understand is why you think I am afraid to say that I believe in God when I have specifically and clearly said to you that I believe in God more than once and yet you still act as if you haven't heard a thing and then you have the audacity to accuse me of being vague about it.

Do you really need more proof other than your own bewilderment and inability to retain information that your own brain is not functioning very well?

Could it be something you ate? Did anyone ever offer you a magic cracker ?

It was the conversation you just had with ChrisL and an explanation you gave for Genesis that led me to believe that you were speaking in code.

No. That was logic's decision. I think that someone who claims to believe in God would be happy to discuss his beliefs. There is only one God. It does not matter what we call Him as long as we make the effort to know Him. He will find us. How we come to Him is of little importance.

Why don't y'all take this debate to another thread? This isn't the place for it. This thread is for people who've left Christianity behind to share their stories, as to why.
The endless trolling by certain "Christians" of this thread is a rather ironic display of rather unchristianlike behavior. It's almost as if they fear too many former Christians coming together to share thier stories as to why they left; fear that other Christians might follow suit...? I can't be sure of the motivation.
What I can be sure of is that it isn't motivated by respect for OP's intent, nor respect for fellow forum members to conduct a discussion about the OP.
I'm pretty sure Jesus instructed his disciples to move on when a town didn't want to hear their message, even said to remove the dust of said town from their feet. One things for sure...
No matter how much chapter, and verse certain posters drop, and no matter how doggedly they attempt harrass and hound legitimate thread participants; it's clear they are following neither the word of, nor the example set by Christ. They follow pride. And therein lies the "tell". By such acts the hypocrisy spoken of by many posters is revealed.

You have effectively created a call out thread. You don't say why did I leave religion or why did I leave my faith. You are calling out Christianity and inviting any asshole to take pot shots. For the record I left my faith at 18. You know why? Because I was a dumb ass. I thought I knew everything like you.

If you felt that I was referring to you when I said "certain christians"... I was.

 

[ChrisL]

They don't see that their attitudes and behavior are like the total OPPOSITE of what Christ preached.

Not to mention, they are super annoying (especially "Ding"). I could make some funny jokes about that name, but that wouldnt be the "Christian" thing to do.

If he persists... I'll be left with no choice to, but to request he be thread-banned. He has, and has had the opportunity to practice what Christianity teaches; and to respect forum/board rules. He's chosen not to up to this point. My patience with his trolling is nearing its end.

That's a bizarre response. If someone said why did you leave New Jersey that's an invite for New Jerseyites to come and rescue their beloved state? If you are happy with your faith that's fine but if you feel compelled to tell people how they erred then you are really just trying to convince yourself.

One strange irony in this all; is that a number of folks who admit to leaving the faith, have shown more Christian like be behavior than he has.

Probably because once you have no one else's thinking to defend you can make up your own mind.

Universal restoration? Rewrite? You and that other lying troll are the scary creatures.
absolutely amazes me how flipped around it all is. Evil thrives...good is silenced.

it is your 4th century book that discourages the Triumph the Almighty proclaimed as the goal for humanities survival, and just a good idea without the big guy anyway ... without your book you do not even exist.

yes, they wrote it in the 4th century, the time to advance from subliminal stupidity began before the ink dried on that one.
