@ Stefan...FRENCHFRY!!!!!!!
I have a challenge for you.
Read the "Holy Bible" from cover to cover, DO NOT SKIP Anything.
If you don't believe, okay, I will drop it.
I would rather know that someone doesn't believe after understanding it all, than rant incorrect information...
Dude, I Went through what you are experiencing, I misunderstood it as well at first.
Read it, and you may just understand What my faith is. The Bible isn't a series of happy stories, that much I know, but like any other book, it can be read.

Derp. I did. The reason you think I didn't is either:
A) You didn't read it cover to cover
B) You didn't PAY ATTENTION cover to cover
or C) You didn't read my posts correctly.
Also, there isn't one bible anymore. There are many, many different versions with different stories, and even different morals. All of them are called the Bible, and all of them are Christian.
My father's side of the family despises us because my dad left Jehovah-land as soon as he had the money to move out. Because of religion, I missed out on half my family, so I took it upon myself to learn a bit more about it. But if you want a few of the stories that made me realize how WRONG the bible is, here:
Sodom and Gomorrah: Lot's wife looked back on her burning home while they left, so she was turned into a mound of sand/salt/dirt. The words that god's angel used to warn her not to look back or she'll turn into salt? "Look not behind you." God is such a forgiving man.
Elisha: There was a bald guy chosen by god, and teenagers of the village would always make fun of him by saying "Go up, you baldhead!" So, Elisha asked god to make them stop. God had them all mauled and eaten by female bears. Wat?
Adam and Eve: Yeah, we went there. The story of Adam and Eve is that they were created perfect, but at the slightest temptation of a devil-possessed serpent, Eve busted the only rule given to them by god. Very little temptation, mind you. These are the first perfect beings. Then Jesus came along a few thousand years later. He was also perfect, so he should have identical morals to Adam and Eve. Yet, he was subjected to infinite more temptation and torture, and still held true. Clearly, Jesus was better than Adam and Eve. But, then... HOW could Adam and Eve have been perfect? Should not a perfect being have no better?
As per the GOOD of the bible... Don't steal, don't rape, and so on... How profound. I learned those morals by NOT being a psycho. I don't need a freaking BOOK to tell me that I have to do these things or else some dude in the sky is gonna get angry at me.
But really, Leo, what were you expecting? Did you think that, by having me re-read the bible, I would go through some magnificent transformation and turn into Mr. Christian man? The Bible was written by a bunch of dudes that wanted to be large and in charge thousands of years ago.

This sentence just about sums up life. Forget enjoyment, technological advancements, and LIFE. Just praise God. You know, the guy that was so nice that he gave us cancer, AIDS, rape, natural disasters, and - perhaps worst of all - a level of sentience that allows these things to bother us.
By Christianity's beliefs, God isn't very nice. Sure, he gave us all the good stuff, too, but it kinda got balanced out by what I mentioned above. I don't owe any favors to that guy, and I'm definitely not going to preach to others about how great he is, when, really, it seems like he was bored one day and wanted to watch something weaker than him squirm.

You took it the way i thought u would and entirely missed my point, and i can see that my attempts to get you to understand are in vain. I hope that someday when you grow up you will understand what im really saying by the teachings of another.
Frenchfry:
And, of course, you respond with the standard 'emo' argument for why they're emo. "You don't understand."
Viper, HOW MANY WAYS COULD THAT SENTENCE BE TAKEN? Seriously. By "glorify god", did you mean, "help the poor"? If so, you've got a strange way of talking.
