[quote=Charlie] Basically my religion is based upon the practices Jesus Christ, and a forgiving God. God was vengeful, but now, he doesn't appear to be doing anything lately. I think its because he just done with us, he looks at us the same as a parent looks at a child, he used to help us, but now we're grown up and able to stand on our own. God forgives us for all that we did and will do. Jesus was an amazing person who wouldn't want to be like him, in all of what we do. Now we can't be exactly like him that's impossible, humans aren't wired like that, but we can try. Thanks for reading. AMA [/quote] Wait, isnt this already mainstream christianity? What did you even change? [quote=So Boerd] But, aren't the Vengeful Lord and Jesus the same?Exodus 3:14"And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you."John 8:56-59"56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."Not, "I was". It is clear the Jews recognized his claim to divinity because,"59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by."

Which is why i don't believe in a two thousand year old book written by a bunch of superstitious desert people who had no idea how the world worked
