From everything you've said, Jesus, Christianity, and even Christians aren't what I originally thought. So what does a Christian actually believe?
Sometimes I think I know what the point of it all is - other times, I know I don't. Most of the time, I'm so busy doing life that I don't have time to think about it anyway. Maybe there is no point. Maybe there is, and I'm missing out. And I know this is the only life I'll get - so if there is a point, what is it?
The world has changed. Everyone's realised sex is great, and that we shouldn't impose rules about it. It's my body, after all. Christians are restrictive killjoys - why don't they seem to like sex? It seems like they'd rather say "no" to everything.
I've been to church before. It's boring, useless, judgemental, and irrelevant. I'd like to think more about who Jesus is - but if following him means going to church, I'm out! Does being a Christian mean going to church?
The Crusades...the Middle Easter...the Inquisition...terrorism. Religions, including Christianity, have always caused arguments, fighting, and even death - and they still do today. Wouldn't the world be a better place if we just got rid of religion?
There are loads of religions in the world. And millions of people sincerely believe in them. So if any religion, like Christianity, says their way is right, and the others are wrong...isn't that pretty arrogant? In the 21st century, shouldn't we be more tolerant? Aren't they all just different paths to heaven?
