Hey all,
I live in the bible belt of TN, and when I first moved here, it seems like everyone was pressuring me into believing and accepting God and Jesus into my soul. I would be put down for not believing in him, and it made me want to believe in their existence even less. Why would followers of Christianity be so judgmental of a person and put them down all the time for not believing? Anytime I would carry out a mistake in a situation, some one would say, "Satan made you do that," or "it's because you don't believe in God." How can you base life situations off of statements like those. And when I would not want to go to church they wouldn't leave me alone about going. It was very frustrating, but most people seem to care...Sometimes you just gotta give a person their space and let them find things out on their own. Which leads me to another subject...if Christianity is a religion based off of Faith, why does no one ever say, "Hey, we might just be wrong about all of this."? Faith is not fact, and I wish that people would understand that and be more open minded about other philosophies on life in this world. No offense, but give people their space and let them know that they should search for what they believe is right. That is why God gave them "Free will," right?
