Religions? « Thread Started on Feb 4, 2008, 10:57am »
Just out of curiousity, does it make sense to damn someone to hell because they don't follow your spiritual beliefs?
I've just had the bashing of my life because my parents, sisters, and the majority of my family members are Ultra-Christian buffers. I'm drowned with ''God'' and "Satan'' and "Living in eternity" to the point I think that I'll start vomiting up scriptures if I hear another reference to Christianity in general. To be honest, Catholic, Church of Christ, Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist, and almost every other form of Christianity is in the family, but the majority of my family is Church of Christ. I honestly couldn't say that I hate religion....just the people that're representing it most of the time.
Today before school, one of the Amoeba stalkers (the people in the group that we're too nice to shoo away and tolerate their presence to at least deal with them) started up the ''Salvation and God only" speech this morning. It would've been tolerable if she didn't start out with saying that "I'm going to heaven because I'm a Christian and because you're all infidels, you must save your soul or perish in the firey flames of Hell." She commented on the fact that my family was a prime example of Christians and that we were all in God's loving arms of grace. I told the person that my siters and everyone else were, but I wasn't in that category. I said that I was more Deist than anything, if not a Wiccan. I was told that I was a blasphamer and that I need to accept God as my saviour or I'd burn in Hell for the rest of eternity. I turned around and told her that if that was the case, then give me my one way ticket and a bottle of sunscreen to protect myself as I plummet down into the very bowels of Hell, since I was such a sinner.
Not that I'm bashing people for believing in what they do, but is it anyway near appropriate to terrorize someone into your religion so that you feel like you've done your ''Christian deed'' for the day?
