I'm not an atheist. I believe in God. Just not the the version of God in the Bible.

I despise religious hypocrisy. I hate people who go to church on Sunday then preach their hatred if people they don't like like homosexuals. If Jesus could take in a prostitute you can serve a gay man cake. The bible says love the sinner not the sin yet Christians hate anyone who don't think like them mostly because their faith is shaky

10,000% this. Every single word.

I can clearly tell we're here on purpose and by design, but not from anything that looks like how the Christian God is described. Complete total power play. Some very smart people choose to use the dumbest part of their brain when contemplating religion. But just have faith. When things don't make sense, just slap more faith on it. Should I pay attention to Christianity not making sense? Nah, just need some more faith putty to slap on that crack.

Like my mother says, "I try my best to live without sin, and it's a full-time job. I don't have time in my day to tell someone else how they need to be living theirs."

I find that gets to the crux of my problem with a lot of people with the crusader mentality. They want to save you from yourself, while their own house burns around them.

Their eyes are riddled with sawdust as they try to tell you the proper way to see.
