I am fascinated by your tag line: Pride-filled, judgmental christians do not qualify to be Christians

Yet, you appear to have zero problem with Mormonism which is by its very nature and foundation anti-Christian.

As an aside, you do realize that making accusatory replies to a person in the religion forum about their mind set is in fact pride-filled and judgmental - right?

From what I’ve read, my tagline is correct. But, I’ll change it into a question, because some people get offended. I want them thinking!

If you can go back through the opinions that I have posted, you’ll find that I do not like one telling another that their religious opinions are wrong. Disagreement is OK. I continually cite that these concern metaphysical beliefs - therefore unprovable. Now, what can we make of the claim that one religion is anti-christian when it is without empirical foundation and attacks the philosophy of others?

See? Small planet, isn’t it?

I go to no church. I’ve done that. I believe that they have become financially driven forgiveness factories for some whose behavior is far, far from the examples set by Christ. Some are hurting conservatism’s cause. I live in California; I see it. Organized religion is driving good people away from the republican party. You do not have to be a “christian” to be virtuous.

And yes, my accusations may land on some people the wrong way. I am the subject of complaints. But I believe in God. I don’t believe in this idea of continual forgiveness and sinning. I believe that I will have to pay for all my sins. It creates a better person, even in God’s eyes. What’s wrong with that?
