    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    One thing im certain of is that i could never see myself fitting in with the catholic church. There is too much reliance on the man-made version of faith. I will continue to study the bible and pray for clarity and trust that the Holy Spirit will lead me to the right place.

    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    Just another question...in simple terms, is the bible a rule book or merely meant as guidance?

    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    I certainly don't want to leave God! I couldn't imagine not being able to pray to Him when i need to. I just don't agree with the bible (or at least alot of things in it). To me it just leaves no room for us to make judgement calls. I feel like when i read the bible and i don't agree with what...

    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    Thanks for the very thorough reply ukrania. I would like explain my reasoning for rejecting the biblical viewpoints on the various social issues, but it would take all night. If so many different christians believe so many different things, then some of us must have it wrong? Will we be...

    Thanks for all the advice and support! I live in a very small town so church choices are limited. (and upon reaching 18 our church kind of makes us promise to not join another church so thats been holding me back a bit) but I'm at varsity in the city so i'll check out some places there.

    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    Thank you for your response Mark. I am just so confused. Is it wrong to question the Bible? Our church teaches that we should believe like children and not question the word of God. But I honestly can't do that. I can't force myself to think like a child. And our pastors at church are experts at...

    Religion doesn't make sense to me anymore

    I am a 22 year old girl, brought up in a christian community and have always followed the 'church rules'. But the more I learn about all the atrocities that have been commited by 'men of God' throughout history the more I am beginning to question everything christianity stands for. I still...
