Oh, good. I just think I figured something out about you then. It's not that you despise Christians or look down on them for their personal beliefs...but rather the approach that some take when talking with you on here. Am I right? Your not into the in-your-face Christian approach. Tell me if I'm wrong or right.

Glad you shared that. Helps alot to know that you love your Christian friends and family. Good to hear. 🙂

How did you decide on Buddism?

Good question.

He probably chose Buddhism because it doesn't have a God...a God which makes laws that he takes personal.

I have no respect for the history of Christianity of which is has a very violent and controversial. I also do not like the Bible because it justifies violence, closed mindedness, and hate...if you read it extensively and carefully.

But Christians are people. I would not dislike someone jsut because they are Christian. If Christianity works for them, then so be it.

It's christian Conservatism i do not like.

Why, Urizen, it sounds like you love the sinners but hate the sin.

Ok.

I'm not sure about the close-mindeness or the justifying violence part...but I can view it as your opinion with no problem.

Oh, and I'm the wrong girl to be talking to about reading the bible carefully. I'm sure you know more of it's contents than I do.

Are you married? Kids?

The primary reason I turned away from Christianity was because I actually started READING the Bible more extensively, and did not like what I read.

In my ignorance of the Bible, I was a proud Christian. Afterward, I turned away.

I am not married (I doubt I ever will be, not cuz just bcuz im homo, but because i cant imagined myself being married to anyone) No kids, just brothers and a sister, and a dog lol

The promotion of human equality, understanding, and absolute compassion for all life is what turned me on 😉

I'm Gay (well techincally bisexual, but i prefer men over women. I would probably never marry a woman)

So it was reading of the bible ONLY that turned you away from Christianity? Or did other things play a part?

Now I know why you are laughing...ok. Well, I guess I can see where marraige may be hard to come by for you. LOL. It's ok. And sorry, I forgot about all that. 😮
