i like how you cited webisites for the cons but not the pros.
also half of that wall of text isnt even religion, its just dealing with your family.
but anyways
CONS**
1 the Wikipedia definition for 'religious war'
2 the huffington post on 13 silly commandments
3 20 problems with Christianity
4 Everyone judges you in church, it's just another excuse for the school bully to pick on you
5 Drinking the blood of Christ (wine/juice) is pretty damn similar to old rituals of drinking animal blood to cleanse the body. Just as heavenly I suppose.
6 the bible is inconsistent
7 The bible was written by men
8 The bible describes one being, accepted as male, who controls the universe.
9 atheistic view of the bible's inconsistencies
10 Church has the same ground rules as a library: be quiet, no running around, dress nicely, generally no fun.
11 Nobody really understands the bible/Christianity EXCEPT for maybe a pope or pastor
12 they always spew religious crap everywhere. Your on the beach in California? I garuntee someone will ask if you would be able to spare some time for Jesus.
*The bible is actually extremely violent, in one such case I recall the bible to command you to cut off the hands of your wife if she attempts to assist you in a fight, see cons for bible verse)
1 people fight over everything, not just religion.
2 quote from that site "But others have argued that the passage is merely one of many archaic religious laws that are no longer relevant to today's modern times and do not need to be upheld."
3 this site brings up some valid points, im not going to lie.
4 not really, ive shown up to church in shorts in the winter and noone said anything.
5 similar =/= related. i could say kicking a soccer ball for fun is just like kicking someone face in for fun, doesnt make them related at all.
6 the bible is filled with metaphors and at times not ment to be taken literally. its also a few thousand years old and writen by many different people.
7 i dont see a problem with this.
8 “God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them” (Genesis 1:27) that means he created both male and female in his image, so he is not either gender, he transcends gender
9 like i said above, the bible is very old and is not meant to be taken literally at times.
10 a church is a place for respect and worship, not a kiddie fun land.
11 if noone understood christianity, why is it one of the worlds major religions? also what you think isnt what eveyone else thinks.
12 in all my life i have not seen one person come up to me and ask me to be religious. not once. even if someone comes up to you, just say no thanks or something and they just back away.
thats just my 2 cents.
