Forums - General Discussion - Why did you quit Christianity?

pokeclaudel on 07 August 2010

Why are you guys still doing this? Being a christian means you want to be like christ thus following all that he did on earth and attempting to imatate what he would do to a tee. If you really wanted to be like christ you would abandon your job, house, and other responsibilities and go from place to place preaching to people accepting handouts from people who feel sorry for you like the hobos do on my street.

Please elaborate. Seems like a potentially funny story.

well, i don't want to offend any Christians here.

It was a prank.  Funny on at that.

I brought some pictures from Penthouse Mag and before Bible study, i placed the pics in couple of the kids' bibles.

so when they opened the bible, couple of the pictues fell out. 

Nobody laughed, not even me.  Though it was funny as hell. 

 somehow the teacher knew it was me.  So naturally he asked me to leave and not come back.  I deserved it.

You know what would've beenreal cool. If you placed the photos in the priest's bible (or whomever was teaching the class). Even better if his supperiors found them. Now that would've been funny.

Too bad nobody laught at your prank. If it makes you feel any better I would've probably been on the floor laughing (I really can't control myself when I see something really funny).

BTW, weren't you a Christian?

Yes, I accepted Jesus at like 3 years old, and haven't missed church more than 5 times since.

I love everything about christianity - except many Christians have no sense of humor.

I actually started a bible study 15 years ago called Smokers' Bible Study.  You can't come unless you smoke.

Now we have bible study called, Theology on Tap where we meet at a bar and talk about God and other subjects - and porn comes up pretty often.

well i stopped believing in god(im an athiest)

other then that before i stopped believing in god i had my doubts about Christianity because:

-a- the first porn stars were popes

-b- during the middle ages the being in the church was a buisnes, and the church sold papers saying " *insert name here* are going to heaven*

-c- the church is corrupt

-d- going to church was boring, and i felt that being a christian was more a duty then something you should be happy about and proud of.

well of course those 4 reasons are small things, but they made me open my mind about religion. then i became an atheist, now i have no religion.


i agree with this guy, but i didnt quit christianity. there are towmany rules to this relgion stuff and i don't have time for it. i live my life the best i can, and while other then the bigbang theory something mad the possible so hey?

WTF??? My mon can never get communion 'cause she smokes, and smoking is considered a sin. What kind of a bible study is that?

Well, I used to be pretty religious when I was little. Went to church fairly often, prayed in the morning and before I went to  bed and all that. I think most people (especially my mother)  thought that I'd become a priest when I grew up (though the ideea never really appealed to me even then).

As I grew older I started questioning my beliefs and came to the conclusion that I had no logical reason to believe any of it. I also disagreed with many Christian teachings. Even of God  were real he would have  no right to my life, nor anyone else's. I don't like dictators, and the Christian God seemed to me like nothing more or less than that. Forcing people worship him just because he created everybody and everything, sending those that refused to be his mindless sheep to hell. Of course this would be under the pressumption that he existed.

you have a pretty wrong picture of a God than.God does not forces you nor needs you to worship him. if he wanted or needed that, he would just make us all do that because he can. he gave you a power of free will, so that YOU can deside if you want to worship someone or not.

Fun kind.  haha.  People actually open up and are more honest about God at bars than at church.

I'm not a fundamentalist.

Well, my God of Scripture doesn't agree with this.
