❛ it's only love, nobody dies ❜
Before I start, I want to make this clear that I am NOT trying to pick a fight. I'm not trying to shit on anyone who believes in God, or in any other higher power. I myself was raised Christian, but I now am Wiccan. I would also like to keep this thread respectful, if possible. [Since I know talking about religion is one of the unspeakables.] But here, I would like to hear other peoples issues with religion. Any religion. I'll say my issues with Christianity, because that's what I know. But feel free to address issues with any religion, because I'm genuinely curious as to why people don't believe in them [or why you do, that's okay to put here too.]
That's what I have... feel free to discuss with me, or drop your own feelings or whatever. But again, please be respectful to me and to others. We're all friends here.
My issue with Christianity:
1. The bible states that jealousy is a sin, yet also states that god is a jealous god? I don't understand why it's a sin for us, as humans with free will, to be jealous yet it's okay for him just because he's omnipotent.
2. Homosexuality being a sin. Coming from a god who *supposedly* created the world and again, is omnipotent and all knowing, why would he claim to love all of his children yet condemn a portion of the population to eternal suffering just because they're gay?
