The inconsistencies of Christianity.
During my high school days, the people I’m surrounded with are diverse. I mean, really diverse. There’s a Born Again Christian Community here, a fierce Catholic Community there, a Jehovah’s witness somewhere, there’s Mormons, Atheists, Agnostics, Muslims, Buddhists and a heck lot more.
Truly, I don’t understand.
Born Again Christians claim that dead people immediately go up for judgment before God. Then, in contrast to that, the JW claims that the dead are merely sleeping.
And then, there’s hell and purgatory. Born Again Christians claim that purgatory don’t exist, while Catholics fiercely defend it.
Then there’s this claim that Jesus is merely a man, not a son of God. Jesus has a wife? People are rewarded in heaven as per their good deeds in the name of God? Saints don’t freaking exist?
Argh! I could go on and on, but then, I’d just be repeating myself.

Well...that's right. Being a Christian means...whatever. And if Jesus were alive today he would probably denounce all of them.

There are as many Christianities now as there were 2,000 years ago. Its why Constantine called the Council of Niceae to try and sort the mess out. As you can see, it didn't work despite threats of excommunication and anathema.

Follow the evidence. Lots of people are trying to convince you of all kinds of things without presenting a shred of proof, you should feel totally free to ignore them all.

Most of the Christian denominations are variations on a theme, and try to lure you in with promises of eternal life. But I think you’ll find they don’t make a lot of sense.

Saints don't freaking exist, except in New Orleans!

The Bible contains so many contradictions that it takes contorted logic and improbable conjecture to try and reconcile them.

That's OK because the evidence a believer uses is like "I know, I know, I know, I know in my heart that this is real." Just when you thought they were going to sing you a song about knowing they pull this on you instead. Truth is, we all know very little even if we have studied the bible well and read it cover to cover.

Wow, that sucks at least you got exposed to a bunch of different religions sadly I would consider this a good thing because you know what they say "ignorance is bliss" because when you learn of any religion really you always have to give something and get a reward sort of like when I was a little kid and I would go visit grandma and she would give me a cookie or a piece of candy. Why do you have to receive anything for being nice or good or "pure"? How much I would like for people to put each other above whatever god they believe in and life would be so much easier for everyone. Least in my opinion. Hehe ?

They can not all be right, but they can all be wrong.
