'I am' an Ex-Christian! (Roman Catholic)
As a young teenager I asked the questions I'm sure many asked before. Why this, that. Why not this and that... As a young, dumb teenager wanting and seeking 'The truth,' regardless of what the truth was. It was when I read and 'especially' what was being said, did I begin to question Christianity. It started with, 'Believe or else.' Why would a loving God tell his children, or else? That sounded like my parents, my friend's parents and all parents.
Then Sin came into play. We're sinners? Of course, the church explained why we are sinners. My young adult alarms started to go off. Then Revelations and the fear. My God, what a hateful, abusive, mean...Father! (I know of those kinds of fathers. I nearly ended my own stepfather's life for abusing myself, sister and mother.) You want to talk about living in FEAR. I lived it and fear is not a molecule less of pure evil!
Then I came to a passage in Mathew 30, 31. All throughout the Bible, Jesus created miracles out of love and need for those around him and then Peter who came to Jesus near the sea and walked on the sea, briefly. 'You of little faith why do you doubt' Peter walked on water. That's what the bible/passage said. So, Christians can create miracles out of love and need...why are not Christians creating miracles out of love and need? EVERY Christian should be creating miracles, right? It's in the Bible. (I was literally to 'shut up.') No one could give me a clear answer, but lots of meaningless bible quotes.
But why is this world full of hunger, homelessness, hate... Then the sexual perversions of the priests and leaders of the church. This can't be so! These are leaders of the Divine. The ones we look up too for guidance and direction...then I learned of the inquisitions. All 3 of them that we know of. 50+ million Pagens executed over the years. Now I understood why, The Church uses fear. They can't exterminate them any longer, and now uses fear. 'Believe or else!' How can this religion be Divine? HOW?
That's when I decided, this religion is utterly a deception by men, if not worse. I am an Ex-Christian and I want EVERYONE to know why! The church uses the Devil, Demons, Satan as an excuse, blaming them for everything and not taking the responsibilities on themselves. This was in the early 80's.
Then NDE's came into the picture. (2000's) The Church claims they are a deception of Satan. 2022, now NDE's are excepted, but only if Jesus is in them. (How stupid/ignorant does 'The Church' think I/we are?
From day one, my alarms we're going off with this religion. Now I know, 'The Truth,' in so many ways. This religion was/is a deception from day one and still is.
10's of millions of NDE's in America alone. Billions is not out of the question. In fact, the numbers point to ALL of humanity will have a beautiful, loving, forgiving, compassionate... afterlife. The numbers don't lie! Now I have to wait for, is all the Bible quotes that mean absolutely NOTHING!
I do expect for this comment to be hidden/removed. It's what the church does. Hide the truth! Thank you, my friends in love. Everybody in love, even my ex-Christians.
