Any radical thinking Christians out there?

[Kal'Narred]

I have been a Christian all my life. When I was younger though I dabbled in the Occult and specifically Shamanism. A kind of transition trying to find meaning in my life.

I clearly remember a point though where I felt like I was on a small boat set adrift, moving further and further away from land. I decided that it was because I was loosing touch with God and realised how important God
was to me. Then I abandoned shamanism and the occult.

However over the last few years I have found myself disagreeing with and rejecting the dogma and traditions of the church.

Who told the pope that he was Gods representative on earth? Does he believe he’s equal to Christ?

How can Mary be the mother of God? Isn’t that heresy?

Indulgencies.

Isn’t there a special place in hell for all those who commit murder in God’s name?

For centuries the Catholic church has persecuted the Jews for killing Christ . . . er I’m not exactly a biblical scholar or anything, but wasn’t it the Romans who tortured and crucified Christ?

This and other things like how the church has supported murder, political intrigue, sexual and physical abuse and cruelty. Not only this but protecting those who commit such vile acts. Doest this Priest believe
he won’t be judged?

I’m not intentionally attacking the catholic church only, it’s just that they are a huge target.

Is there any other Christians out there who are what I’d call radical? What I mean by that is you follow your own heart and what you believe is right, not the bulshit that a religious organisation tells you just
because they’ve been telling you that for hundreds of years.

Would you sacrifice yourself for another?

Would you condemn another because of they’re lifestyle or would you say that’s Gods place to Judge not mine.

Would you do or say something that a religious organisation told you to say or do even when you know deep inside that Jesus would not.

Are you a radical Christian like me? Then please get in touch, I want to know you, share thoughts and ideas, break bread.

God Bless

I was brought up Church of Scotland. Very non-committal. Religion only came up on Sunday or when my dad was pissed at us and declared, “honour thy father and thy mother”, the only part of the Bible he knew. The point I’m making is that religion was never pushed down my throat, as it would have been in a catholic family

I personally have had . . . well the only way I can put it is “experiences”, twice in my life I have felt the presence of Christ. It doesn’t really matter to me if anyone believes me or not and it’s impossible for me to fully describe what happened. I am also aware of having a Guardian Angel.

I’ve heard other people talking about contact with light beings. Are my experiences any different?

In the past I had lost faith in myself, but God never lost faith in me. I don't consider myself religious, I consider myself spiritual. I don't believe any of the bullshit I was taught at sunday school, but I do believe what I feel so strongly in my heart to be the truth. It is an integral part of me.

Thank you for the input though Trudy, I will check out Thiaoouba, even if it does challenge my faith, faith is impotent unless you’re willing to test it in the pursuit of truth and enlightenment.

The church is a criminal institution, a cesspool of corruption and infested with pedofelie. I was raised as Christian, and baptized, but now now (51 years) I know the church is not a virtue.
Basically, I am convinced that no religion is an improvement for the human. Believe in yourself and look at your divine origin. For me it brought much clarity reading a story about the planet Thiaoouba ...
