Why do you feel that way? Religion is based on a joint feeling of spirituality and love
Not organized religion. They keep their people in line with fear. You realize that's the entire purpose of the concept of Hell, right?
Glad to see some people aren't gullible enough to believe everything they read. Hell is the biggest lie organized religion has ever gotten away with.
Churches dont make a habit of teaching fire and brimstone in sermon. Are you sure you arent the gullible one. Hell, the Bible does t even mention hell. It does mention an an end of days but thats it. Only third rate priests teach Hell.
I assume you're speaking from experience with having visited every church in the world to make a bold claim like this, yes? The concept of hell is universally the single biggest reason most people are turned off by religion.
No. And i can maybe buy into the notion non denominations teach that. And other religions as well. But christianity as a whole doesnt talj about Hell. You get an hour a week for most people. Most priests have better things to say. And most people arent turned odf by religion. You do know that universally, religious people are the majority
Who are you speaking for right now to make claims that "christianity as a whole doesn't talk about Hell" or "most people aren't turned off by religion"????
Are you even Christian yourself? Because I am. I know what I see and hear from experience. I've met plenty of people who were turned off by the church (in general) because of the preaching of fire and brimstone. You know how nuts some churches in the deep south can get with preaching? Good heavens. It's bad enough some rando-8 karma account is even going this hard into a topic on religion as it is.
Statistically speaking, a huge majority is religious. Thats just a fact. As far as Hell goes, ive been to most denominations here, and i know its my experience but nobody brings up hell in serman which shouldn't be a shock considering its not in the bible
