Re: My rejection of blind faith - Testimonies of Ex-Christians Posted: 21 Jun 2009 11:20 AM PDT I believed the Scripture was inerrant for most of my life. In fact, I recently finished reading Jesus, Interrupted. Further opened my eyes.

Re: My rejection of blind faith - Testimonies of Ex-Christians Posted: 21 Jun 2009 11:18 AM PDT Thanks for the good word. I worked for the Southern Baptist Executive Committee for almost 4 years and with the Tennessee Baptist Convention for almost 4 years before that. I was deeply involved. It took removing myself from that environment to discover the truth. I would love to be included in your sequel. I have plenty of stories and a lot of info about the inner workings of evangelical denominations.

Re: My rejection of blind faith - Testimonies of Ex-Christians Posted: 21 Jun 2009 11:15 AM PDT Thanks. I suppose I should have included a disclaimer about the debate over his existence. This was originally written for believers. So nonbelievers (thinkers) would most certainly question various aspects, but you get the point.

Re: God needs something from us? - ExChristian.Net - Articles Posted: 21 Jun 2009 10:05 AM PDT bp, that is absolutely one of the best analogies that I've ever heard!!

Re: I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be a Christian - ExChristian.Net - Articles Posted: 21 Jun 2009 08:39 AM PDT Wow - the comments surely diverged from the salient points of the preceding article. I spent some time reading what I felt was a well-reasoned dissertation on whether or not the bible (and god's existence) can be proven. I was heartened to learn that a bible scholar (as Kyle Williams shows himself to be) actually rises above the nonsense contained therein to rightly dispute its veracity. Then, the comments quickly devolve into an argument over (mostly) ONE point: legs on a grasshopper. MedicineMan & Monkeys got so involved with that inconsequential issue that virtually no other point was discussed. After the plethora of arguments set forth in Mr. Williams' article, I would've thought christians who may have stumbled onto this page would have more compelling arguments about some of the other points in the article, rather than to fixate on the meaning of "four".

Re: Christianity taught me I was worthless as a person - Testimonies of Ex-Christians Posted: 21 Jun 2009 06:20 AM PDT I am so glad you got out of that lifestyle. Expecially the eating disorder. I recall getting so severely depressed to the point that I had stopped eating. Ironically my Christian mother commented on how pretty and thin I look. Then when I got out of the depression, I was determined to put the weight back on and she kept trying to intervene and tell me that I was going to get fat. *facepalm*. Anyways that was more of an expectation of gender rolls than religion, but I don't view Christianity very kindly when it comes to gender rolls. If you haven't read this book, I recommend "When God was a Women" by Merlin Stone.
