The way I write? I've never came across such kind of judgment on how to write in order to sound accordingly to the emotion at hand. If anything, it's the use of terms (profanity), punctuation (exclamation mark) and the all-caps, bolds, and italics that signifies emotions. (And, emoticons).Well, the way you write can be perceived as though you are mad or something and if I took it the wrong way I'm sorry but just because you are around or been with those Christians who are hypocritical doesn't mean it applies to all other Christians. Isn't that lens of yours too skeptical? I do understand that we humans are not perfect except Jesus Christ Himself. And if you have met some Christians who live their life to make you not want to seek God in good/bad times then that's just a bad experience you went through and I'm sorry if you did. Even myself use to think like you do but until I've come to realization that we are born as sinner and only through Jesus Christ that we can be cleanse and save. About making predictions of when Jesus Christ coming back is something we Christians should never do because He even teach about that we are not to listen nor believe in those who prophesied when He's coming back and no one knows when He's really coming back. On the other hand, there's no such thing as a prophecy in this time and age because that happens like 2000 yrs ago only. But let me tell you this, Christians who claim to be children of God and they choose to live their life not according to God's standard will have a bigger account of judgement than those that don't even know God.
I didn't say all Christians are hypocrites; I said many are. My lens see christianity as a load of fabricated, deluded rhetorics. I am not at all skeptical about "miracles" which are merely science in nature or attention seekers. The problem with Christians. If/when I hang out with them and they start preaching about god and start saying if I don't reach to god I will go to hell; forcing the subject onto to me; I'm going to take it as peer pressure, an attack onto my own beliefs, and I'm not going to like it/them and neither will anyone else in that situation. Religion should be of someone's choice, so stop forcing the subject of (christian) god onto others all the time. Don't try to persuade me by saying you used to think the way I do. I doubt you have the slightest idea. "We" (myself not included) are all born as sinners? Isn't that a lot of baggage to carry? But, it doesn't necessarily mean "we" are sinners. We are in control of ourselves whether we choose to do good or bad. God has no control over us nor does Jesus. If it is only through christ that any christians can be saved, then that is selfishness on Jesus's part, is it not? Prophecies and the like, it's all contradictions and or un-deliberate deceptions. There are so many cover-ups and versions which is a fiasco of confusion in christianity.
I can talk to you however I want to. It's that saying of yours and attitude that tells me you are still a narrow-minded child. And, I see you are also quick to judge under your assumptions. Speak for yourself.Don't talk to me like I've never seen some Christians who are hypocritical, in fact, I even know some. And of course we Christian who does thing for God should aim for making His name known and for His glories only and not unto our own glories. We Christians are the ones who suppose to go out into the ends of the world to reach the lost and lead them to Christ. In fact, 70-80 percent of Americans claiming they are Christians but yet only 3-6 percent are the ones who truly are working to build the Kingdom of God. Just because the people you met claimed themselves are Christian and not even living a different lives apart from the world then those are the one who will have to speak to God why they'd even do that. Like I say, who am I to judge when only there's one judge and that's God. We as Christians should and suppose to strive for a difference in the world as Jesus Christ did and not be of the world. If you saw that Christians are hypocritical, I'm not gonna stop you from thinking like that and I'm not gonna say some Christians are not like that because in reality many people use the name Christian to better themselves. And prayer, is suppose to be the key to a Christians' faith. Christians suppose to pray to God in times of good/bad not for our own sake, but His alone. Those who choose to pray to God when they need something and setting God aside when you need something is just plain cynical. All in all, arguments is not what i intended to happen or even go near it.
In fact, Jesus was just a man who acquired valuable knowledge just like Buddha. His principles are really just of the common good. It were the crazed christians that started to craft his teachings into religious fundamentals in the christian books/bibles. The early practice of faith based healing is ridiculously shameful. Prejudice and discrimination were obviously shown toward non-christians. Jesus did not die on the cross, although he was crucified as punishment of a crime. Jesus was never resurrected from the dead. The gospels wanted followers. The church is practically an institution and in order to establish it and maintain it, followers were needed. Their were political involvements between church and state government, which the church had protection and support of some sort from the government. Church leaders were given their promotion or position based on the their, supposedly, encounter(s) with god or jesus. All in all, this is nothing but people wanting fame, glory, power, and riches.
So, now I take it I am a cynic. Well, at least I'm not deluded.
