And I also don't want to start a religious debate, but that's part of the reason why I decided not to follow the christian faith.
I feel like everything in it is so based on guilt. Like you're made to feel guilty and ashamed about everything, and there's always that worry about going to hell. I decided not to follow it after reading the bible (I was brought up in a VERY christian family. Very religious. I lost my virginity when I was eighteen, and my dad wouldn't speak to me afterwards for weeks because I wasn't married. I was shamed for losing my virginity. Not cool. And once I admitted to my mom that I had made out with a girl, and she just BEGGED me not to be a lesbian because she didn't want me to go to hell. And my dad told me that if I DID become a lesbian he would disown me. So I kind of have a sour taste in my mouth about christianity. My husband is really getting interested in it right now, reading the bible, etc., talking about taking our daughter to church, and I'm totally cool with that. But I'M not stepping foot in a church!).
Don't want to offend anyone, but that's just how I feel about it.
