and I'm not brainwashed by organized religion. That's an extremely ignorant and closed-minded thing to say.
In fact, in a lot of ways the "organized church" doesn't agree with me...
because I follow Christ and not just the strange, amorphous, oft-hypocritical thing called the Church.
Because, well, I've realized that Christianity is more simple than all of this. I'm not deluded. I think about things. And I know God in the way that I know that people love me. I couldn't actually prove it empirically, but I know in the very core of who I am. I am not trapped. If I am a slave, I am a slave to kindness and love. I am not being duped, and wounded. I try not to be a hypocrite, but I don't claim to be perfect.
That's what being a Christian is: it's following --no-- it's chasing love. It's a commitment to a man who loves me, too. I don't have all the answers, but I refuse to be stuck, immobile, not choosing a course of action. If I assume from ignorance, atheists do, too. And, agnosticism is "choosing immobility as a means of transportation." I have chosen a path, just as others have. Sometimes, it looks humanist: "to him who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, it is counted as evil." and yet, there's a bigger component, that I trust God and "it is counted as goodness, and [I am] called the friend of God."
True Christianity is a friendship and a simple way, not a corporation of deep-pocketed politicians and tricksters.
@lalihyde No, thats just what you think christianity should be, and i wish every christian had that opinion too. You are not the messenger of chistianity. Christianity is not just your personall good will and intentions. Be honest and dont use the word christianity, because you know everything that is behind that word. Find another one that describes better your opinion and/or interpretation about christianity.
