Title: Did I miss something?
Post by: Berry Sweet on January 09, 2017, 11:35:00 PM
A while ago everything here seemed cool but now there seems to be some gouchiness and ruffled feathers....did something happen?  



It has to be the time of year too.  Many people are sluggish and suffer from S.A.D.  Not many seem to be at the top of their game...even irl...it seems worse this year???  



I didnt want to feel that way this time of year so I made some serious changes in my life and been practicing zen fot the last few months....its done wonders!!

No new age stuff.  I grew up as a christian, the bible, blah blah....but I really do not like church goers, they are over the top....the bible is a great read but it has its flaws...somethings not right...instead I just have my inner relationship with God...ive just found that place with God and its all I need...



...I dont need a crazy pastor telling me what a heathen I am causecI dont live my life like his, or being told im gping to hell cause im not part of a certain religious group....or im evil and dirty cause I eat pork...its just nonsense.

I do like Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8



1 There is a time for everything,

    and a season for every activity under the heavens:

2     a time to be born and a time to die,

    a time to plant and a time to uproot,

3     a time to kill and a time to heal,

    a time to tear down and a time to build,

4     a time to weep and a time to laugh,

    a time to mourn and a time to dance,

5     a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,

    a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,

6     a time to search and a time to give up,

    a time to keep and a time to throw away,

7     a time to tear and a time to mend,

    a time to be silent and a time to speak,

8     a time to love and a time to hate,

    a time for war and a time for peace.

I found the bible strange too when I was growing up..



My family is Christian, but I was more of a church kid riding my parents coattails until my late teens..



After I renewed my faith, Our Lord opened my mind and heart and the word of God made sense to me, no contradiction..



What I was saying earlier Berry is that I can understand you being turned off by Christians themselves because we are only human..



But, our God will never betray anyone..



Oh yes, and the no pork thing is purely the Seventh Day Adventists..



I cook pork for my family....I'm still Taiwanese after all.
Title: Re: Did I miss something?
Post by: Berry Sweet on January 13, 2017, 01:06:01 AM
Im turned off by all religions.



However, there is the odd religious person I meet who I can talk to about religion or anything in general and they dont push their religion or ways of life on me...I like those people.
Title: Re: Did I miss something?
Post by: Berry Sweet on January 13, 2017, 01:10:10 AM
Ive never heard of the Seventh Day Adventists... i'll eat pork and shellfish anyway.



Altho I am turning more away from meat these days, only because I really am disgusted on how they raise and abuse the animals...what theyre injected with....how they are slaughtered...and the shit they put into the meat after it is butchered.



Muslims consider pork to be a "dirty" meat....if you think about it...in todays world...all the meat is a dirty meat.

I share my faith when the opportunity arises, but I agree we should not be too aggressive about it..



I have secular friends, Shen Li is my friend and she is an atheist..



When I'm at work or when I'm with secular friends I will answer questions, but I don't force my faith on anyone.

In the age of grace, dietary laws no longer apply, this is why Christians don't observe Jewish dietary laws..



The Seventh Day Adventists are a bit of an anomaly...a cross between orthodox Judaism and evangelical Christians.

I think religion is bullshit, but what Fash or Dove who used to post here do is none of my business.



Islam on the other hand is not a religion, it's an ideology like communism or Nazism. It's pure violence and evil.

Thats cool.  When I say evangelical ...i personally see it more on the terms of really really hard core...like pentacostal...praising the lord so hard...and pushing that on children, who have no clue what they really are doing...the type of people who go out of the way to hand out bibles in public while telling people they are going to hell....those people are nuts.
