Yet hosting a vaccine clinic in the early days of mass vaccination roll outs as a service to the community and I'm sure to show Christ's love.

I am also a Christian and this is my exact sentiment. The majority of my religion has failed the world and continue to fail with all of their hate and criticism. Religion shouldn't be political it should be a moral and personal choice but somehow it is wrapped up in politics now. (edit, this next bit was primarily aimed at Biblical people who "dont beleive in science" not scientific people who dont beleive in the Bible, that is one thing that I have struggled with in the past and can totally understand where you are coming from) Also science and the Bible are *not* opposites. Just because we might not understand how they fit togther, doesn't mean that they dont fit! I sincerely apologize for all of the hate that anybody has spread on the count of Christianity and I hope that anybody hurt by it would forgive us for these downfalls caused by our misunderstanding and cruel human nature.

I appreciate what your saying here, but science and the Bible are not compatible. This can be easily seen right from the first chapter (for example: there being light before stars). Science is evidence based, religion is faith based. They are very different things.

I'm with you [Christian]. I was raised in a church. When you get older you realize church folk are just like any folks really. Good. Bad. Otherwise. It's sad to see an entire religion degraded and hated because non/different-believers lump the a-holes in using Christianity in ways it was never intended. Those behaviors are in-fact non-Christian. With such large numbers of people who identify as Christians around the world, you have to know there are bound to be some bad eggs. But the bad eggs are not the majority of Christianity. Just as all Muslims don't want to kill all Americans. Religion teaches love and kindness. Sadly there are those who commit shameful acts and call it Christianity, Islam, Judaism etc.

I suggest a search for another church. Sometimes you have to try multiple ones to find the right one for you. Or speak up and share your opposing opinion on these subjects in the loving way they should all be doing. Just because it is a church, it doesn't mean you can't stand up and say what's wrong. If they are hostile to this, then you know it's not the right one you are looking for.

Well to be honest look wat Christianity has done throughout history in the name of God. How many peoples were mascaraed and driven from their homes or forced to convert..? Yet still you go to church to associate with "like minded folks".. You can read the bible your self right so why do you need someone to teach you... and you blindly believing that just being their will save you. Going to church on Sundays wont help if you don't make life changes and live by those values.

I'm with you. I was raised going to Church. It's sad to say but Church people are like any people. Some Selfish. Some Selfless. Some Braggarts. Some very humble. Some are racist. Some love everyone. I know in my heart of hearts there are many many Christians doing good work and being genuinely good people. Seems those folks go unnoticed while others are quick to say "See how that random Christian acts?! He's such a hypocrite! They're ALL hypocrites!" when in fact it isn't fair to lump them all together simply because of what you've seen or experienced.

I stopped going yo church, used to drive an hour to go with my sister and her family, until the pastor of the time, told me to stop coming and worship in my own community. I have anxiety and depression...and find it very hard to go somewhere I don't know anyone...so I stopped going to church. Still a Christian but like the op, there are many Sunday only Christians out there in my town, I find it hard to go to church where the bible is twisted and taught in a way that excludes other people, inside of accepting them where they are at.

30 Skeletons In People’s Closets That Could Drastically Change Others’ Feelings Towards Them, As Shared In This Online Group My sense of smell is off the charts. I can usually tell if someone showers in the morning or at night by the way their hair smells. If someone ate a yogurt in an auditorium hours prior but threw out the container in the trash and I walk in on the other side of the room I can smell the yogurt. My memory is also sense-driven. I remember people by their voices or scent, not their faces, or if there is something different about them (odd gait, odd body proportions, etc). My touch memory is also weird. Did I lock the front door? I focus on my hand and go through what my hand has felt in the past 20 minutes and if the feeling of locking the door is there I’m good. I’m literally a freak and if people knew how much of their behavior/body-oddities/scent I actually have no choice but to remember, everyone would look at me like I’m a monster.

I don't give a damn about anything or anyone at this point. Life feels like a game, and I'm just a spectator until this body fails. Any connections I form, I have no intention of nurturing. The human experience is so shallow compared to the universe at large that I can't shake the perspective that none of the tears, suffering, or smiles matter at all. They're a flourishing of energy that'll at some point be done flourishing.

I don't understand how people get so *invested* in life like any of this show is of any importance at all.

I enjoy a pretty sunset, or a laugh with ithers, but I'm not convinced any of it makes the game worth the candle.

Getting your GED is the equivalent of graduating. You’ve completed high school education. Who cares if you didn’t “literally” graduate? I didn’t either. I was homeschooled and got my GED as well.
