Believe and you shall receive

There's also a lot of logical fallacies as well, and in the end, religion itself just isn't necessary for living.

What is reformed Christianity, anyone out there ?

all religions are the product of man kind nothing else. The idea of a "God" came in the very early civilized societies searching for answers to the occurrence of natural phenomenas, relating that to a power that controls everything because they simply had no answer to those phenomenas at the time. Having said that, what people practice and what religion are two different things. Frankly, most people practice for desire of reward, or fear of punishment, as their religious leaders typically relate that to them. So there is an inherent fault in this thinking process, fo
r that if we were to believe in God, we are not supposed to believe in him hoping for better things in life as a return for our obedience, nor we are supposed to believe in him fearing punishment if we did not. this is quid pro quo type of religion which I personally find disgusting. All in all, religions are the product of man kind. The idea of a "God" sitting somewhere watching us is ridiculous. We are supposed, as human beings with brains in our heads, to do the right thing without the fear of being watched. what you see from the practices of religions is complete corruption. Religious leaders are nothing short of liars and con artists making millions and millions from gullible people using these two main things that have been around forever; hope for rewards from God and fear of his punishment

Jesus was a very tolerant man. He would tolerate almost anything. There was one thing he would not tolerate and he practically built his whole practice on one subject which he talked about more than anything else.
That is hypocrisy. Jesus could never tolerate a hypocrite.
Your true religion is your life, it's how you live. That's what you believe.
If you live a life of hate, then your religion is hate.
If you live a life of love, then your religion is love.
Take your pick but don't be a hypocrite about it.

actually I am glad they don't practice what they preach. could you imagine how our world would have been if they started practicing like stoning people for lasting etc,

Yes, that is how I feel. The recent Alabama senatorial election debacle is a good example. The so-called fundamentalist christians there actively supported a pedophile. The levels of hypocricy are amazing.

religion is a cancer in this planet and needs to be wiped out, it created unnecessary division in the human race, everyone thinks they have the right religion so forth and so on, it needs to be wiped from the face of the earth!!

The say one thing and do another.

Hi there I'm Derrick from Scotland. How are you? I think you look lovely. I was wondering which state you are from. I have only recently returned from Arizona last week and plan to visit again next year perhaps in march

They don’t practice what they preach, and it contradicts itself. I can’t take no religion serious. I mean that book actually says if you ask for something, you will get it, yet I’ve yet to see any amputee regenerate an arm or leg. And Jesus has yet to appear to me, despite him saying he would then turned around and said something like ,” For the ones who believe in faith will be the happiest.” He hasn’t even come back in the rapture like he promised so many of his believers.

Seldom is there a desire to practice intellectual integrity by adhering to constant principles. It’s actually much more convenient to espouse something intangible and abstract while changing it to suit your purpose at any given time. It’s so easy and convenient that you can do it without even thinking about it.

You hit the head right on the nail. If you are gonna make a big deal about your religion, you better follow it's tenets, right? Xstianity is hard because it is books have so many contradictions due to totally different types of people writing things at different times, but if you are gonna pick your dogma, you should probably live by it or move on.
