The Politics/Religion/Conspiracies Deathmatch Thread

[pv4]

I'm not a believer or a non-believer. I've actually been in a personal research experiment for the last year to truly figure out my beliefs on religion. And I've still not even gotten close to an answer for myself. There are many stories of the bible i believe - i believe there was a man who called himself Jesus Christ, and he had followers. I believe there was a man named Moses who managed to free his people from slavery. But I'm not convinced on the divinity on it all, yet. But I do like the morals I'm able to draw from a large amount of the stories I believe from the bible (and some I definitely do not believe) - and that to me is all that matters.

What i will say is a lot of the stabs at Christianity in this thread are directly on Old Testament things. The Old Testament was taken from the Hebrew Bible. So you're basically attacking Judaism (like the shellfish, pig skin, etc type stuff), rather than modern Christianity and the beliefs that a large amount of Christians hold.

FWIW in this last year I've spent a large amount of time in churches, in bible study groups, and what I find is there's not two people I meet that have absolutely the same beliefs on everything. It's incredibly varying as to what exactly each person subscribes to. And what I like about it all is that, particularly the church I go to, they encourage the freedom to choose what you believe exactly.
