Discussion about my experience in a church.
cogsandspigots:
What churches are you guys going to?
In mine, they don't preach about God as one who is vengeful and will kill all people who sin.
He is a loving God and will forgive all, eventually. (my church's interpretation of Hell is very different from the cliche)
They say that the your life is special to you and God and that you should live life to your full potential.
The ridiculously structured rules aren't really even talked about, and if they are, they aren't even important in today's society due the the New Covenant.
Also, I wont judge you on your beliefs.
Doing that is just stupid.

that sounds like the baptist church that I went to. Not the one I went to now but one of the 3 churches Ive been in.
I honestly don't know what kind of church I was just in.....
Dale Feles:
When I was young, I used to believe in god, but as I grew up, my doubts started growing. And at some point, I simply stopped believing in god. It seemed that all there was was restrains. "You can't do this", "Don't do that"
Sure, god may help us learn compassion and forgiveness, but sometimes I find some people corrupt. They bend and twist the words.
Honestly, I am not sure what or who I should believe.
Sabb:
I would also like to mention that though I don't believe in devoting yourself to an organized religion, I don't think that religion is all bad, and by all means I love this kind of discussion as I get to see other people's point of views, so I don't want for what I or anyone else has said to stop anyone from speaking their opinion.
Anyways, the good thing about an organized religion is that it's the fundamental for your growing/maturing as a person while you're a youth, and begins to teach you what kind of person you are, who's around you, and basic morals and values, to again, develop yourself as a person.
I did go to a church as a child, never liked it, but I do appreciate it for reasons aforementioned.
