#2 Religions that their parents don’t belong to
January 18, 2008 by clander
White people will often say they are “spiritual” but not religious. Which usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus.
Popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it’s much more rare since you have to give stuff up and actually go to Mosque.
Mostly they are into religion that fits really well into their homes or wardrobe and doesn’t require them to do very much.

False – the OT was already existing for hundreds of years prior to 325 AD, while the NT was already adopted in its current form, but not in a formal manner. 325 AD was just a stamp of approval
Heck, yes! I’ve got a Doctorate in Astrophysics and I’m Wiccan! Granted it’s not a church, but it is a very intense religion.
I did the opposite, but – ‘win’
How ignorant can you possibly be. Catch up on your history before you ramble about “true Christianity.” The Catholic Church or “sect” as you said, is the oldest form of Christianity and guess what? That important bible that those followers of “true Christianity” center their entire faith on was put together by the Catholic Church in 325 AD including Constantine and some bishops. This event was called the The Council of Nicaea. If you deny the Catholic Church you deny any form of Christianity.
I grew up in a mainstream Protestant church and started questioning its teachings (plus my parents’ political beliefs) in third grade.
One of my grandfathers, who died before I was born, had agnostic tendencies and did not go to church. These facts were certainly not advertised to his grandchildren, all of whom regularly attended Sunday school, but when I told my mother that “not all good people go to church, and not all people who go to church are good,” she did not become angry. Instead she said, “that’s what my father used to say.” When I became an adult, she admitted her own agnosticism to me.
Some of us are not rejecting our parents’ religions, only our parents’ PRETENSE of religiosity.
To those who think people should be Christian/Jewish/Islamic/whatever just because their parents are, I say only this: if my parents were KKK members or Nazis, does this mean I should be one as well?
Religion is gay.
