Some Christians seem to think that we non-Christians are inferior to them for having rejected Jesus. Really it doesn't make us weaker or dumber or lazier, just different - so let's clear up some misconceptions.

Because I haven't yet figured out where The Church is.

If Christ has watched his Body be split, then the Gates of Hades have prevailed, and all is for naught. Christ would be a malicious liar and not God.

The jury is still out.

I used to be a Christian. I stopped being one because it no longer made any sense.

I am not a Christian now because I can see no compelling reason why I should be.
That pretty much covers it for me too. Christianity stopped making sense to me, so I moved on.

Honestly, I don't or never really have considered myself a "Christian", mainly because so much of what many Christian organizations teach today is so out of line with what Jesus actually taught, in my opinion.

I am a follower of Christ, and I believe that many other people here are as well, even if they don't use the label "Christian".

How interesting...I never thought of that before.

I feel drawn to a totally different path.

And that too. lol

Logical arguments against + not having a heart in Christianity = deconversion of little owl

Why aren't YOU a Christian?



Christians................................:sorry:



There was a time I was about to enbrace the religon but after awhile I discover I really did not like the Christains because of the really high leval of argancy toawrds people of other faith and how qucik they were to judge people and things. (Not all of you Christians) I try to defend the religon from all critics, I really did, but I gave up because I found the Christians were not worth defending. After awhile I started to see the religon the way they did, ware God is sending people to hell forever based on there religon(meaning many people I love) and sending all the people I did not like to heaven! The whole hell thing evtully started feel like God having a Gun against my head saying love me or els I will shoot.


Maby those christian are wrong and maby there not but the image is traped in my head now ever time I read the bible. I now relized I would rather live my life to the fullist why I still had it rather then worying about ware I and every one loved was going when we die. I am still looking for the real kind and loving God.

There more to why I rejected the religon, but I am not in the mood get in to it.

While I am not a Christian I do accept Jesus Christ... All Baha'is acknowledge Jesus and excerpts from the Gospels are referred to in the Baha'i Writings.

When a Jew or a Zoroastrian or a Hindu become Baha'i they also must accept Jesus.

I'm not a Christian for a few reasons. God never 'spoke' to me as a Christian, the faith didn't move me, it left me feeling spiritually unfilled. There were also many concepts that just did not make sense to me. Many things I could not imagine a loving God saying/doing.

I felt pulled to another religion, and I am happy here, and have a good relationship with the Divine. So, I see no reason to attempt to be a Christian again, when I have all I was looking for as a pagan.

Also, many of the conversion attempts have pushed me even further from ever wanting to be a Christian again..

I'll be very brief as to why I am not a Christian, will never, ever become one as long as I have a rational thinking brain with normal functioning brain waves.

It is a religion based on fear, guilt and the blood sacrifice of an innocent human being who was used as a scapegoat in order to satisfy a cosmic, imaginary blood thirsty tyrant in the sky.

Multiple reasons....Christian theology makes no sense.
Jesus did not fulfill the prophecies concerning the
messiah.
Christian scriptures go against Torah and what
Judaism holds.
Probably more reasons if I gave it deeper thought...

I could not be a christian, and I will not too, because there is no "reason" in Christianity doctrine.
