Yes. You're right. But I also believe God gave me a strong sense of right and wrong. When Moses saw that the Israelites were worshipping the Golden Calf, he broke the tablets ('cause the law had been broken). Was he right to be angry? Was he right to tell the Levites to take every person who...

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know it was a sin to point out sin! Apparently, sin doesn't even exist!

Let me get this out here. I've been a Christian for 13 years, since I was 17 years old. I was raised in the faith. I know my Bible. I had a good loving family. Nothing traumatic. Pretty decent life. However, one consistent thing I have a problem with in my faith that I've never been able to get...

Yet another person who thinks they know me. What a surprise. I don't know why I bother to come on this forum. People don't become Christians because they're lectured. I've tried my darnedest to be patient, but the next time someone wants to do that here, I'm blocking them.

Spoken like a true holier-than-thou saint who's never had a faith crisis or any spiritual struggle at all. Try living with Asperger's, knowing from an early age just how different you are from everybody, and how isolating that is. Try truly contemplating that your life and everything and...

Feels like I'm reading my own words. I can't say I have the answers you're looking for. But I will say, for all its issues, at the end of the day, however angry or frustrated or lonely I feel, faith does provide some measure of comfort. Then again, maybe I just feel compelled to say something...

All I'm saying is, if someone asked me why they should be a Christian, I'd be hard-pressed to tell them why. Why? Because most of the benefits are purely spiritual and only apply after we die. We humans are physical as well though. And most of our lives revolve around the physical whether we...

Problem is 99% of Christians since then have not seen him.

Problem is, God may have finite patience, but humans don't. We don't relate to dogs the same we do other humans. We don't expect dogs to try and comprehend our ways. We get down to their level.

All I'm saying if the benefits of being a Christian only happen when you die, what's the point of trying to act like one in this life?

I have. Nothing happened. Except those of broken and contrite hearts could be considered proud simply because they didn't gladly accept the undue punishment dealt them.

And indeed, if the rain falls on the just and the unjust, why try to be just at all? What's the point if bad stuff is gonna happen to us all anyway, regardless?

Fact of the matter though is not everyone is satisfied with God, however hard we try or whatever we do. I tried it all. I did it all. And I ended up with nothing. There are plenty of people who are satisfied without God. To say they aren't is to delude yourself. I'm sorry but I find the Bible...

I did originally begin with God and his motivation. And it didn't satisfy me. To return to my analogy, no matter how much good I did in the world, if I knew a worldwide bomb was gonna go off, and I had a button in front of me to press to turn it off, but didn't, I would be labeled a war...

Woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed. It would have been better for that man if he had not been born. Indeed, I daresay it would've been better if none of us had been born.

My point is that being a Christian does not make you a better person, nor does it make your life in this world at all better (if anything, it just makes it worse). All it is is that it's an afterlife contract, nothing more. People don't genuinely change. They only find excuses to behave. The...

Problem is, in his desire to be known, he's created a world filled with unending violence and evil. Even if he does make it all better in the end, no amount of cleaning things up will change the fact that that bad stuff happened.

All I've seen is that Christianity has not made the world a better place. It's only given us an excuse to behave. No matter how much we work to cure people, or try to stop human trafficking, death and desire still remain supreme, and they always will.

And yet, sin we all have. God can't have it both ways. He can't create humans who aren't robots and the expect them to act like robots. All parents are forced to face the fact that children grow up and have opinions of their own.

Problem is that everyone seeks glory. We all seek glory at the expense of others. We're all viruses, a mass living plague. For that matter, why should God be allowed to do something we can't? I thought morality was objective, but apparently, not so when it comes to God.
