this is the story of how i first realized christianity was a cult. besides the sodomy,its when they all freaked out when i left there sorry asses. in my younger years i went to a christian school.the first year i was uberdevout and had a great reputation of faith and good doings.the summer after the first years i began dabbling in magic. it was a bitch keeping it secret(mind you it was a christian school and back in the day when it was still sorta taboo)and id seen witches beat in secret after refusal to enter the chapel. i remained christian. i read thus spake zarathustra at the end of summer. when i went back,i questioned everything,we had uniforms but i conformed as less as i could. after being labeld a hippie a heretic and a rebel i began to lose friends.i had a few followers but i was the first(and possibly only) to publicly denounce christianity. i started a rather anarchic rebellion( i wouldnt even call it that,nearly a sit down protest.(got violent at times,still more of a protest,still rather rebelious)with my fellow doubters. some other shit happend and i was alabeld perverse in all sinces of the word. by the time my denouncement of there false god got out,i was quite hated. i noticed the cult-like-ness one day in the chapel. i was surrounded by a circle of young men with no expression on there face. with near monotone voices they told me things like "you can never leave""the great pastor tought us that it is impossible to ever leave god""you cant leave god"youll be back"etc etc very much emphasizing the 'fact' that its like a law of the universe that once you accept jeebus in yo hawrt that it will never leaver. i pretty much said fuck you and something else, i cant remember what,but hinted at my magical dabblings. i was labeled a heathen and thrown the fuck out. to this day,as im near the top of the hill,im still pagan,now just bored on my computer,posting on totse.have any of you seen signs of the cultt of the jeebus? im surpirsed there wasnt a mass suicide of the hell of a school.

Are you referring to Catholicism ?

As far as I know, that is the only religion associated with Christianity that is known for it's sodomy.

Christianity is not represented by Catholicism. Catholicism is represented by itself.

Try not to make generalizations.

Speak for yourself.....

well your right. i just always felt the head guy of the place raped his kids.....

Your story is somewhat similiar to how i began to wonder wtf is up with this religion.where i went to middle school was a super duper christian school with the teachers and students being fanatics. I remembe when i questioned our super religion i got like a million notes from my fellow piers asking if "Have you been saved,Do you have Jesus in your heart,ill help you,blablabla" so then highschool came and i went to a Catholic school wich was more liberal but yet still has that feel to it. One day a Priest gave a speech on how people who belong to other religions should be stoned to death(he didnt really said that but the way he talked about other religions reminded me of hitler)and how people who practice occult things like telepathy,telekenisis,harry potter should repent or burn in hell.after that speech that just completely zapped me out of it.

sure i miss just simplily believing god like the good boys and girls do without questioning it and simpily having faith. but as i see it faith is like a glass of water. When you're young, the glass is small, and it's easy to fill up. But the older you get, the bigger the glass gets, and the same amount of liquid doesn't fill it anymore. I threw my glass of water out the window.

Isn't that from Dogma?

Yeah it is. That retarded bitch Janeane Garofalo says the line.



God do I hate that woman........

amen,shame on kevin smith for casting her,good line tho. right on vflow. i feel the same. it was easy just being able to just believe in god and the end. but i never got results out of praying. or attending church. now i do rituals and get success and ceremonies to like show thianks etc by myself or with friends in the comfort of my own home or woods on my property. i get a good feeling out of it and also results..vflo-did you have to go to a church thing dayly or weekly at your school? i had to every wedsday and was FORCED to go to church on sundays. i havent stepped foot in a church in like ten years.

On fridays we ate christ chexs

What religions are not cults then?

religons like mine,where you can be totally solitary with it. i make all my own rituals,spells,ceremonies,etc. so,my religon.

All religions or lack thereof for the athiests/nhilists out there could be considered a cult. Some just more than others. Having a school centered arround a religion is up there in the list of fucked up ideas. Teach about all major religions or none.

One of the definitions of a (Cult) is:

2. A system or community of religious worship and ritual.

So by this definition all religions can be considered cults.

christianity is a cult



no shit

People consider Buddhism a religion but there's no worship and the only thing that could really be described as ritualistic is meditation.

Finally! Jesus, people, I've been saying that about Buddhism for the longest time now! It's overrated, but still not a religion.

How many other Christian denominations are thought of when the word "sodomy" is brought up ?

What is the force that powers your faith, though ?

I mean, to "WHAT" are you devoting these spells, ceremonies, and rituals ?

It was just that you chastised him for generalizing christians, then you turned around and generalize catholicism and catholics.

Hypocrite.....

I'm closing this, because it's over done and because you have very very bad grammar.

Also, you annoy me.
