Hi there,
I was born into a Christian family, and have been a follower since birth. I just graduated from a four year Biochemistry degree, and lets just say things seem impossibly complex, and regional (our planet in a virtually unlimited void), to have come about in any other way except through the course of a LONG duration of time. What I'm saying is I have learned enough through studying all the different magnitudes of reality (fundamental chemistry -> biochemistry -> psychology -> earth science -> astronomy) to come to a conclusion AGAINST intelligent design.
This does not come out of a place of hate by any means. Rather, mentally wrestling with the varying aspects and magnitudes of reality have lead me to believe in a different sort of God than that mentioned in the bible.
As I said, I am NOT not spiritual. But my search for truth, fuelled with a brainful of knowledge, has really guided me away from the aspects of organized religion.
How can we be satisfied with the current segregation of Gods peoples? Why would he allow so many religions when only one is right?
Do people NEED to go to hell to satisfy the requirement for others to avoid it? In a culture-defined religion is seems so.
Plus, people can't REALLY know who goes to hell and who doesnt (although the existence of heaven and hell need to be pondered over fairly as well). How could we KNOW? Does the fact that it is written in ONE book, which has been re-translated over thousands of years, give you solace in your morality? It shouldnt..
Why would god be satisfied with our divisions and hatred? Why would God reach out to such a small few in such a primitive time to give the template of ALL LIFE, knowing how drastically changed things are now.
Whether you like it or not, most Christians are atheistic towards all other religions. Ie it is a monotheism.
So through all the religions of all the civilizations, what is so compelling about Christianity?
I look forward to hearing some intelligent banter - not random hate. Telling me why I'm wrong is not a source of offence
