"I'm Tired Of Being A Christian", A Think-piece For Christians by InesQor(m): 5:23pm On Oct 20, 2015 |
Kelsey Munger wrote this article here http://kelseymunger.com/2015/09/14/im-tired-of-being-a-christian/ Excerpts below. I feel she speaks for me on many levels, and these are some reasons I don't always announce that I am a Christian even though I adhere to Christ and his teachings. What about you? Do you feel the same way? And what will you do about it?

SirWere:If you read carefully, you'll see that I have not said that I don't believe in God or the afterlife. This is a think-piece to make all Christians look inwards and see what they can do differently in a world where faith without works is dead. 2 Likes |

InesQor: Dealing with it. There's something called religion and then there's relationship with God. And no one should mix the two.... 2 Likes |

Thoniameek:Hmm left to me I think religion is PART of our relationship with God. It's like saying "there is something called breathing and then there's being alive, and nobody should mix the two". They are intertwined, and one is a strong sign of the other. Our religion is the apparent evidence that we have a relationship with God. Anybody can claim to have a relationship with God. 4 Likes |

AND YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE......... I have always believed in inner peace and freedom of the mind. And Anything that leads me to that state of mind is my own truth. Not the unnecessary but damning inner conflict inflicted by inordinate struggle for self righteousness, which to a great extent seems to be a chase of mirage that the Christians/many religions pursue and battle all their life. As a matter of fact, if you are still under this weight, bearing this familiar but unshakable yoke of guilt and restiveness, then you have not met or known the truth, meaning that you are not free. Please don't get me wrong, if you belong to any religion that affords you this religion experience of peace and wholeness this religion is probably meant for you. Pls continue and never look back. But if reverse is the case then its not a sin to re-evaluate yourself with respect to the religion or their set of doctrines towards having a better feel and inner control of your life...... 1 Like |
