Doubt

I am filled with doubt after attending church services and surmons as they are contradicting themselve.Following are my doubt, not to denounce christianity, but to seek for clarification.

1) Christianity promotes toleration toward other religion

doubt : Why i kept hearing pastor in the church try to undermine other religion? particularly Buddhism, where he said" what is the old monk doing with his joss stick , sitting there not praying to god? " . Another instance is when my shepard said :" Why hinduism has so many god? dont they get confused? no wonder they are confused." I can only conclude that they are try to exclude or undermine other religion to justify their religion. Such is the irony.

2) Christianity promotes fundamental human right

doubt: The pastor kept assert that christian could not marry non christian. Is he not aware that that violate fundamental human right of freedom of association? Such is the irony.

3) Christianity is a religion which encourage people to live abundantly, but not with money and ambition. You like your life for god.

doubt: Can you fill your stomach just by praying to god? You cant neglect the reality that you need money to live a good life. Conflict in family bound to happen when you dont have money.Is that called live abundantly?Such is the irony

4) Christianity - abundance is promised in after life.

doubt: What about the present?

5) Pastor- dont just live a good life, live a god life

doubt: How do you live a god life without good life?

6) Pastor:" christianity promote peace and undestanding"

doubt : " Is he not aware that the " allah " issue is spark by chuch ?
" Is he not aware that in bible, god actually intruct moses to lead the israelis to invade other nation to claim the "land of god?" Is that not amounting to agression and violence ? " Such is the irony.

7) Pastor: " you will feel empty and lonely without religion"

doubt: " it is a feeling."You feel loneliness, hence you get loneliness.if you feel happy and abundant, you will get abundant.You just need to control your feeling.feel positive,think positive and your life will be positive. That is not religion. That is law of attraction.

haiz...so confusing...No offend to anyone. Just doubt and you may help me clarify it by replying me.thx

Religion itself is a temporary malfunction of logical reasoning that humans seek for intuition rather than cognitive reasoning.

Mind you, all your statements should come to the conclusion that the Pastor wasn't teaching the teaching from the Bible. He was mispresenting the Bible itself and by consequence, would be prosecuted if he would persist in the manner you described.

Religion itself, by neutral stance should be impartial and 'pure'.

Again, religion is created by human.

What's the moral?

You'll answer.

i'm not a christian either, but i do have a different view for no. 6. I don't think the 'allah' issue is sparked by church solely. There's never been such an issue with the use of 'allah' for Tuhan in Indonesia (regardless of religion) where u can find the largest Muslim population there. Also, the word 'allah' has long been used in East M'sia. I don't understand why there's so much dispute when it comes to West M'sia.
