That's it. I'm done.

posted 28th Dec
I decided that I'm done trying to be Christian. I'm sick of pretending I believe stuff that I don't. Everytime I go to church the whole time I'm just disagreeing with what is being preached.
I don't like being told that I must believe a certain thing or be damned to Hell. I have always questioned everything and I can't just shut that off for religion.
I believe there is a higher power, but I think all religions and beliefs take us to the same place.
I don't plan on going to church again. I would love to pick up Paganism again, but I don't want to deal with the smurf I had to deal with while I was Pagan (including being threatened to have my kids taken away).
I'm so upset over all this.

I just say I am agnostic and leave it at that. I believe in a higher power but don't believe in god or the bible.

I'm not religious but I firmly believe you don't need church to worship.

I'm not trying to change your mind, its your choice, but have you ever tried a different Church because sometimes that makes a huge difference. And I believe being a Christian is a relationship with God not a religion. BUT like I siad your choice someday we will all find out what happends when we die.

I'm not sure what I am. I identify myself as Christian because it's what I was taught, but I too sat there and doubted what I was being told. I just stopped going to church and decided that I would figure out for myself what I thought was right. I think the other reason I stopped going to church was because of the people constantly looking down on everyone else and judging everyone. NOT what I believe a Christian should do.

Your religion is your business. You shouldn't be afraid to believe what you want to believe. No one will take your kids because of your religion, no matter what some crazy ass bible thumpers try to say about it.

If I told people what I believe, they'd probably try to send me to a nut house. That's why I try to keep that smurf to myself.

I've been to so many different churches and it's always the same thing.

this. No one can legally take your kids away because of your beliefs.

ETA: That's supposed to be one of the great things about being american.

I am the same way, except that I've never really tried to go to church and such. I am spiritual more than I am religious, and I'm okay with that. I don't practice any certain belief or religion, and it works just fine for me.

Sorry you're upset about it, but good for you for not forcing it any longer.

Now I'm curious as to what you believe. Lol, but if you don't want to say, that's ok too.
