Does your religion blocks you from doing good?

I have to say, I quit my old religion because I found that religion before judgemental and very stereotyping. I used to believe in all the things my religion said, until I discover the world outside and found out that it wasn't true. What's worse, my religion doesn't accomodate to do good to a certain kind of people, and be kind to someone whom that it condemns, like homosexuals, jewish, etc.

Am I wrong for quitting religion because I wanted to do good to all mankind and not being judgemental and negative stereotyping?

 

Do what feels right for you as long as you dont harm anyone I cant see what any one else can complain about. If you find a religion you like good for you, if you dont then also good for you

 

You're right in quitting your previous religion. Christianity teaches that to treat individuals as anything less than those created in the image of God is an offense against God. (Angels unaware, and all that.)

That being said, sin breaks the perfection of that image. We have to call sin a sin. That doesn't mean being judgmenal or stereotyping. Such behavior is itself a sin.

Nice advertising post with the handbag ads in the signature...

 

It is not our job to judge, thats Gods job. Pray for those who are in the wrong that they may find the right.

 

No you are not wrong. You need to do what you believe is best for you. I do not think you are wrong for leaving because you want to do by everyone.

 

I refuse to pray for the right. I know that's not very Christian but that seems like praying for the devil.

 

Religion is a crutch.

 

How do you consider that to be praying to the devil? Please explain.

 

Angie do you not know that in Tom's eye's all of you who are or vote Republican are the devils children LOL and I do believe that we have others around who believe the same of Democrats

 

The hard right wealthy corporatists, IMO, are evil and doing the devil's work. I think they've sold out to the devil and are in business with the devil. Republicans of higher wealth, worship only more wealth. They worship money before God. That makes them evil or at least sinners. Republicans are usually evil.

 

Thanks for explaining yourself Tom. I do not consider myself to be a republican so I guess in your eyes then I am not evil

 

Smart too!

 

Shut it down

 

Shouldn't the markets decide?
