It took me a while to figure out exactly what I believe in. I recently stopped being Christian because of some stuff that my dad showed me. It basically makes being a teenager harder for me. I'm already hormonal, on top of the fact that I'm a female and then my dad comes along and tells me that everything I partially believed in was a load of crap. So some people think I'm atheist because of it. I just want to make it clear to everyone that I'm definitely not atheist, I do believe in God I just don't believe in any type of religion.
I went to church, against my will, recently with one of my friends and even though I didn't want to be there I still paid attention to what he was saying. I didn't like at all, he kept talking about how the only reason they were even at church was to worship Jesus. That's all he kept talking about was Jesus, Jesus...... and more Jesus. My thing is if it weren't for God, Jesus wouldn't have even been alive so if anything they should be going to church to thank God for giving Jesus to them in the first place.
Back in the day when I was Christian (hahaha) I used to go to church with my aunt, whenever I was there they used to harass me about getting baptized. They were like " you need to wash away your sins," or, "the lord is waiting for you to get purified" If God wanted me to get baptized then he would come down here and splash some water on my face. In my opinion the bible was created to keep people from asking questions, in other words its something somebody made up to keep things in order.
If god needed me to spend time worshiping him, he would tell me. Same goes for anything else he wants. If he didn't want us to sin then he wouldn't have given us the ability to do bad things. I don't think that God would create us just to kill us and I don't think that just because Adam and Eve messed up that we all get punished for it. I know for a fact that I wasn't the one who picked the apple off the tree, and if a snake tried to talk to me then I would run. I feel like we were accidents and that how we handle our time here determines whether or not we move on from here. Don't get me wrong, I am open to listening to other people and their dilemmas and I have nothing against Christians. It’s just that I have nothing else to believe in so this is what I believe in.
