How to Leave a Religion

Filed under: Bible, Christian Mental Health, Christianity, Religion — Admin Staff @ 10:52 pm


For many people it is a horribly intimidating task to leave a religion, either for another or for the absence of one. Whatever the case may be this guide seeks to assist you in releasing yourself from your religion.

Steps

  1. Sever any ties you have with the religious organization. If necessary, leave them correspondence that communicates your separation, but do not discuss reasons or beliefs.
  2. Make friends outside of your former religion. Ask your new friends about alternative views.
  3. Carefully prepare a list of the advantages for leaving your religion and your reasons for doing so.
  4. Approach your family and friends tactfully about this topic as a devout family may not understand your choice.
  5. Read about your alternatives.
  6. Research the religion of your choice, and prepare the reasons that this change would be personally advantageous.
  7. Join a local group if you wish, and learn about their views and practices for conversion.

Tips

  • If you think your family will be uncomfortable with your change, wait until you are older to make your views public.
  • Know your stuff before you get into debates or discussions.
  • Read and study the writings that are accepted by your chosen religion. Make sure the teachings are in line with the Bible

Warnings

  • Beware of cults
  • Beware of intolerant people.
  • Beware of religious zealots.

LOL. Priest Charged with Drunken Driving after Crashing into Restaurant

SMITHVILLE, Texas (AP) - A Roman Catholic priest is charged with drunken driving after crashing a pickup truck into a restaurant and injuring ten people in Smithville, Texas.

Texas Department of Public Safety Trooper David Adkins says five of the victims were taken to hospitals Monday night, none with life-threatening injuries, after the Reverend Karel Fink’s pickup smashed about ten feet into the restaurant.

Adkins says the priest’s blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit after the crash, and that Fink told authorities he accidentally pressed the gas instead of the brake.

The Diocese of Austin says Fink was released from alcohol treatment within the past couple of weeks.

Bishop Gregory Aymond says, “Obviously he needs more treatment to continue his recovery.”

The heavy burden of Christian untruths.

Admin editorial by GW

“A time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem….True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.” (John 4:21,23)

So.. you lived your life with the fear of eternal damnation if you do not follow Jesus. A miserable eternity in Hells fires awaits you for not choosing the right person.

You lived your life thinking tithing is Gods requirement on us..and only if you tithe a blessing will come your way.

You lived your life believing God is 3 persons in one. That Jesus is Jehovah and the Holy Ghost is a person.

You lived your life thinking all mankind will go to Heaven to rule with Christ.

You lived your life believing in talking in tongues and prophesies and in healing gifts in this day and age.

You lived your life thinking once saved always saved no matter what you do.

You lived your life believing the Rapture is a reality.

There are pages of material on this site. Please take the time to read and examine for yourself. After all, God seeks those who worship in spirit and truth.
