Just wondering.
I'm only 15, and I know my parents would kill me if they read this, but honestly, I'm on the fence about religion, specifically Christianity (my parents are Roman Catholic).
It just don't get the point. I don't know why I have to label myself "Catholic". I agree with a lot of the morals and ethics taught in the Bible, but what people have to understand is that there is so much bullshit in there as well. (Not all, but there is some.)
I don't even know why, if there is a god, that he has to be an old white man. Man.
I feel like if there was a god, then it would be a male and a female, since you need both ingredients in order to create life. (Unless you're a single-celled organism.)
But why just one? Maybe "god" is just an energy, a force that binds us, not really a humanoid lord.
The whole thing just seems so hypocritic and biased, slightly misogynistic, and downright weird. Some of the stuff associated with religion, ANY religion is just scary.
I really don't know.

So no also I'm hardcore Left-Wing Communist.
My current pastor stated that the bible has some stories that were taken from others and you must remember that the bible when written the avearage man was illleterate and would not understand things stated with complexity.
The bible also is based on faith because you can not logically explain everything and women were not considered anything but property so men were not going to make God anything but male.
We can not truly explain oxygen but we know what is does and that is where we are with God.

Also you do not need the bible to know harming people is bad. Just sayin ;-)

My Suggestion to you is do Research
We are all on the Same Journey but we have Differant Paths we all choose the path we are on the Goal is the same to to understand Truth nobody can Tell you what Truth is you have to Educate yourself and let your mind and heart and soul Decide what Truth matters to you
we are all children of the same universe
Just make up your mind for YOURSELF.
Don't let others stand in the way of what YOU believe in.
