The Lies Christian Fundamentalism Taught Me by Nobody: 9:00am On Jul 16, 2015 |
I was raised a fundamentalist Christian. Here is some of what we were taught, both explicitly and in a million different little ways, every single day of our lives: - You are worthless. - God hates you, unless you love him. - Obedience is love. - Punishment is love. - The Bible is infallible and not to be questioned. - The pastor is infallible and not to be questioned. - Our interpretation of all Scripture is without error and not to be questioned. - Outside the church bubble waits evil. - Everyone who is different should be feared. - Bad things happen to you because God is trying to teach you a lesson. - Bad things happen to you because God let Satan tempt you. - Bad things happen to you as a punishment for disobedience. - Depression is a sign of sin in your life. - To resist what you are taught is to rebel against God. - Women have to cover themselves so as not to tempt men. - If a man lusts after a woman it’s her fault. - Women need to submit to male authority over them. - There are many things girls can’t do. - Men are more important than women. - A woman who is raped must forgive her rapist and not report it to the authorities, in order that the rapist, his family, and the church remain protected from outsiders. - Children are to be seen and not heard. - Children need to have their will broken through painful “child-training” and punishment. - A child who is not hit until he or she screams will not learn. - Our church is the only true church; all others churches are filled with Christians who are untrue and destined for hell. - Catholics aren’t Christians. They are idol worshippers. - You are so full of sin God can’t even look at you. - When the Communists take over America and force us to burn all of our Bibles, you’ll need to have memorized it so they can’t take away what is written on your heart. Those are lies. And they are deeply damaging. And if you are unfortunate enough to be raised a Christian fundamentalist, you have no choice but to believe those lies until, because you are very lucky and/or very strong, you break free from the controlling, brainwashing environment in which you and your family exist. Yours is a world in which not only all outsiders, but all television, music, movies and books are shunned. So what you are taught is literally the only truth you know. And that is why, as toxic and harmful as they can certainly be, whenever I deal with Christian fundamentalists I bear in mind Jesus’ “Forgive them, Lord, for they know not what they do.” Because I know how true that is. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/unfundamentalistchristians/2014/05/the-lies-christian-fundamentalism-taught-me/ 8 Likes 4 Shares |

1. Were in the bible it say "you are worthless? 2.did the bible say God hate sinners ? 3.God love required justice, are you a father? Punishing your son for evil deed mean you hate him ? 4.where in the bible we are discourage not to ask question? “The Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God. However, it was not written by good men, because good men would not tell lies by saying ‘Thus saith the Lord;’ it was not written by bad men because they would not write about doing good duty, while condemning sin, and themselves to hell; thus, it must be written by divine inspiration” 5.James 1:14 but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. The op is a fan of Bart Ehrman . 4 Likes |

Its ok for other people to burn in hell while you chill in heaven Sinners don't deserve the good things of life God is perfect but he created an imperfect world God and Satan are still buddies(Devil still visits heaven) God is actually the god is Israel. If you're not Israeli .... God loves you so much that everything that is most pleasurable on earth is a sin God loves you and will burn you in hell if you don't love him back Jesus died for your sins but god will still punish you when you sin God likes virgin pvssy(in the case of mary) God made Solomon rich but you're "worldly" if you attempt to be rich 11 Likes 3 Shares |

I knew Frosbel would run out of steam but not that fast. He was a darling of this section, throwing thought provoking posts and questions. Then everyone got bored. And the attention diminished. Frosbel rants grew more and more familiar and repetitive. He suffered attention deficiency disorder. Slithered quietly into hibernation, now he is trying to reinvent himself. What a pitiful sight ![]() |

moffymichael: you say that because you were born into a Christian family, what if you had been born a Muslim or Hindu ? Besides I still believe in God and the Christ, I have only discarded the disgusted veil of Christianity and its scam. |
