I respect all religions wether they be polytheistic or monotheistic.
After all I have no right to tell people what to believe in .As long as violence is not being used to harm innocent souls.
That being said,I grew up in a Christian household for most my life.
Religion at least Christianity hasn’t been my best experience with in the church growing up.
I also wanna setup early in the Bible it states no human being should kill another but then within its pages it overwrites that.
I went to church every Sunday learned the well known stories of the Bible,but I started to notice things early on.
I used to go to Thursday and wensday school to learn of the stories,but I was more of a tomboy and liked playing basketball with the guys after study or talking about videogames.
The girls were looking at nails and stuff and I wasn’t really into that ,but I tried to converse nice like anyway asking if they wanted to try shooting some hoops with the guys.
I didn’t notice the vices between us until the girls from the group all gave me that same look,the look of absolute disgust and annoyance.
That’s when I noticed the isolation that’s when it started,my girl peers then all treated me as if something was wrong with me
(most likely because they thought I was gay since I had a pretty tomboyish appearance)
and I didn’t wanna go back after growing up out of the kids church I remember crying into the children’s pastor.
I wanna be clear I believe in one god,but I don’t believe in the following of any 1 book.The sad thing is at least to me is that everyone wants to be right ,but because of that no one is.
I’ve also grown up with so many religious people hurting me,destroying,stealing things I’ve built all in the name of god.
So many people have said they’ll do/treat me better and they ask god for the power ,but they never do.
They enter the same cycle,do the same thing.I’m no way saying they shouldn’t believe in what they believe in.
But at what point do I just take it as a excuse and accept they won’t change?Theres also people who force others into religion ,for instance I told my mom I believe in 1 god and Jesus as a prophet.
She told me ,my own mom told me I was going to hell,if I didn’t follow the religion she believed in.
It’s so toxic ,it makes me despise it.Yes,I understand not all Christian’s are like that I understand your argument and I acknowledge it.
There’s too many times religion has used to justify the unthinkable and it’s on all sides. The Holocaust,talaban,slavery.
These beliefs can do good,I’ve seen them do good for people.I’m not disrespecting any religion here I respect and love them all.
A update is needed
(I’m not talking about the Bible’s New Testament)
,imagine if people still followed racist tactics against immigrants and segregation laws,in this day and age.
Religion really needs a update so it can stop hurting people. Before you comment or pray for me,Thank you,but I’m already saved.
I’m not doing this out of spite,but to let people know from a outsider who’s been in perspective of why I stopped.
Too many wrongs have been permitted in the teachings and it’s really destroying families
toxic masculinity,shaming,conversion therapy ,women (forced) to be modest or be slut shamed.Preachers pastors and or teachers getting away with so much sin even with in their own families.
No one can justify the horrors saying they were scripted and predicted,god or gods would never put inoccent children through such torture.
I’m not saying there is no truth written down ,but the execution of how it’s being taught and what happens inside outside and around the buildings that are of god/gods wills,surely they are angry to witness.
so much sin justified by people using their hand.
Those who are stone cold believers I bless you,and I hope this did not cause you outrage,as I’ve said before I meant no disrespect.
To those who have a different perspective and see how much the good and the bad weigh,I’ll tell you it’s okay to build your own realtionship in whatever you believe in.
As long as you’re not using it for evil or to cause harm to someone else.Your family and peers might shun you,for not following the same path and books.
if your family is extreme you might have to keep it a secret for a while until you can be open about it.
It is said that you must be allowed to form your own realtionship with god/gods and no one can judge you on that,but them.
I will only leave you with facts from from what I choose to follow from this point on
The first religion
(Hinduism)
Yin and yang
(Start is within the end /the end is within the start)
Karma
(What you do good or bad comes back to you)
Monotheistic
(Belief in one god )
Thank you for reading this for those who don’t agree with me please remember this is simply my perspective and experience.
For those who have had similar experiences or were like me unsure in what to follow I hope this gave you some guidance.
These thoughts I have shared have given me great peace and nothing can take this away.
Once again thank you for reading and I hope you found you find your peace if you haven’t already.

lol, those people you describe are the pharisees and scribes of the bible. yes they are evil. they are not god’s favorite people. maybe someday you will meet graced people. but your religion is your choice true.
ReplyI agree with you 100%.
I’m in a weird stage right now of trying to figure out what I believe…for most of my growing up, my family was Mormon. But the older I get, the more it seems like just a cult. I think I still believe in God, at least in some form. But I don’t think I’m ever going to subscribe to any organized religious sect ever again. Does that make sense?
