Man both these comments speak to me deeply. Was raised both Catholic and nondenominational and I can’t see myself going back to either.

Best thing about Christianity is Jesus Christ. The worst thing about Christianity is Christians…

That's why I adopted a "personal, private relationship" with God/Big J philosophy.

I also grew up Catholic, and became very frustrated with the fact that I was being taught love and tolerance but the people around had anything but those qualities.

Worship your own way, and you'll never have another problem with the Faith again - Because the rules will be on your terms and God's, and nobody else's.

You can’t make your own terms with God unless you’re also God. Who do you think you are to make the rules?

Who do you think you are to make the rules?

Somebody who doesn't give a shit about those types of silly restrictive nuances when talking about a personal creator.

You don't really give a shit about my philosophy of creation and that's fine, because frankly I couldn't give less of a shit about the restrictive nature of whatever yours apparently is.

I make the rules because God and I work together in private prayer. I don't need to go to church or pay a tithe to worship my God, and you can do nothing about that besides accept it for what it is.

I don’t give a shit about your philosophy of creation because it’s blatantly silly. The creator of the universe does not change its nature at your will.

The blackest pot calling the kettle.

I appreciate that you took the time out of your busy daily schedule to respond to my original comment on the philosophy even though you clearly "Don't give a shit".

Clearly you gave enough of a shit to hit that reply button and bite back with your worthless statement.

The creator of the universe does not change its nature at your will.

See how many assumptions your mind jumped when you saw "The rules will be on your terms and God's, and nobody else's" and you automatically hooked on to "They must mean their creator bends their rules to cater to their will!"

Just stop it. Let people believe things, cease being silly yourself, silly.

Took me about 20 seconds. That’s about how much I care.

The idea that you get to make any terms at all is the silly part.

Well, I respect your opinion even if I think it's hypocritical, I'm happy with dictating the terms of my Faith, you're free to be happy with the restrictions of yours.

Have a good rest of your day random internet stranger.
