Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when churches that are all black talk about what happened back in ........

Not uncomfortable as much as saddened. It reminds me of the unjust servant who demanded of his slave to repay his debt of $5 after he was forgiven $50,000 that he owed. They will never go unless they can forget the past and look to Jesus--where they are suppose to be walking toward. You cannot serve two masters, you will either love one and hate the other or be devoted to one and hat the other. If they love civil rights more than growing in the Lord, they will lose their true freedom.

I was molested by a Christian minister and when I told my parents about it got spanked (I was 10) because they said I was lying. I told a deacon who then said I wanted him to do it. My sunday school teacher did the same. God knows this to be true and the man is still preaching in church to this day.

What kind of "church cover-ups" are you talking about? Other than talking to people in each and every church in the community or country, good luck.

ANOTHER general statement about an ENTIRE GROUP of people, all of which you cannot know personally! I DO NOT make such statments about anyone else's group, so PLEASE STOP making them about groups that include me! Isn't this kind of stereotyping doing just as much injustice to me as SOME Christians' impositions do to you?

The church I attend is more like a family in that we make it a point to be involved in each others lives.  We "deal with" the good, bad, and ugly (so to speak).  My wife and a good friend started a clothing ministry which provides clothing to the needy.  We are also working with recent African refugees that escaped the killings in their country and are now lost in this one.\n\nI personally am always looking for ways to help others.\n\nBy the way, this church "family" has a lot of us who are going on a motorcycle ride after church today as it is "Biker Weekend" here.\n\nCome visit if you're ever in town.

I think it is the way people approach religious subjects that makes folks uncomfortable.

Does anyone else find Christianity a little disturbing?

I know how you feel.  Since when does church=good person.  Hello?!?!?!  Just because one attends church doesn't make them a "saint".  I mean look at the high church officals who are turning out to be child molesters!  Are they still "good" people b/c they are in a church.  C'mon.  Give me a break!

Nope, not just you.  People are getting crazy!  It terrifies me to see these scary, force-feeding, frenzied christians (generally at their most scary when evangelising), but you've just got to remember that that was never what God wanted and seek a personal relationship with him and your saviour Jesus Christ - the people that do it wrong don't have to be the be all and end all - be your own Christian!

Preachers hiding their own scandals under a cloak of righteousness? This sure seems to be the case! I'm beginning to wonder about the chicken and the egg.  Does preaching hate against a group mean you're covering yourself, or does obsessive hate turn into compulsive behavior of the type you hate? Either way, it's another compelling reason to keep religion out of politics.

You did have a question, yes? \nI'm sorry you ran into some of the Christians that are still learning. Proves we're all human, doesn't it. Everyone continues to learn to not only talk the talk, but ti walk the walk. Some find it more difficult than others. Best thing to do when someone upsets you as badly as the Christians you're referring to, pray that the Lord will guide their ways. Don't condemn them.

yah....It pisses me off because alot of "christistians" are full of sh*t. They talk about god and preach this and that, then they live and act the complete opposite. It makes it feel like any kind of christianity is really bull sh*t, like everything else in this world. Maybe it is.

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

no it isn't right. you hold your head up high and walk proudly.ignorance has been around for a long time.I'm thankful for being a Christian,because i know that i would get stupid right back at them.We both know that's not the way,so try your best to ignore them and let some adults know whats happening.Please let me know how this ugly problem gets resolved.I truly care!

Sometimes after reading a question, I try and re-read it while imagining the person sitting next to me speaking it. Here is a little girl saying, "when the rapture comes..." So I get the sense of fear in her eyes. Then she is rationalizing her beliefs by saying she will be saved because she is a Christian, but then she keeps going and has this sort of mischevious, personal laugh for the non-believers, who she thinks will be left behind. Honey, I still smell fear. Why, if your beliefs are so intact, are you still afraid? Pray for yourself and your family and you'll do just fine.
