Which One?

My mom tried to force me in to be a Christian and made me go to a Christian high school school. It helped me understand the Bible and made me realized that I could never be a Christian. Nothing makes sense in the Bible and no matter who I ask, priest, teachers, anyone. They always tell me that it’s not suppose to make sense and that they don’t have an answer to any of my questions.

This was me growing up Catholic. Nuns don’t like it when you ask questions regarding the Bible and science. I got a couple of beatings but the one that still pisses me off to this day was when I brought my bible to CCD. We were told to bring in our bibles. I didn’t have a Bible. But o had a kids Bible with pictures and such. The teacher (nun) calls me out in front of the whole class and said, “You can’t bring that, that isn’t a real Bible.” I said, “That’s ok, you’re not a real teacher.” She broke a yard stick over my butt for that one. So worth it.

I too am stuck in the atheism debate of the early 2000s

This is so r/boomershumor

The gentleman should read James 4:12 –

*”There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?”*

Then he wouldn’t have called the poor kid a heathen for asking the questions.

I get the same vibes from politics too

Many people confuse religion with uneducated religious people. If someone gets angry when you ask questions, it’s just that they’re insecure about not knowing. Personally, I’m religious, but am not a scholar, so can have very high level discussions only, and don’t think that saying “I don’t know” means that my belief if wrong. To really get to the nitty gritty, one must have studied a life time.

Never be afraid to ask questions

Oddly enough, the God of Christianity, The God of Judaism, and the God of Islam are all one and the same, and this is supported by scripture in all three of those major belief systems.

I had a discussion like this with a girl I knew once.

“I’m so glad I was born into the *right* religion!”

But wouldn’t you think that no matter which one you were born into?

“No, because mine is the only *right* one!”

Don’t you think that people from other religions think that theirs is the correct belief?

“Yeah, but they’re all wrong though!”

At that point I gave up. I think this song sums it up best: https://youtu.be/iYq_-zju_P8

> Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

> He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

> He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

> “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over.
