And I couldn't say whether God answered any of my prayers. More like, sometimes what I asked for happened and sometimes not. And none of the granted requests...
You guys aren't praying to God...your praying to Santa Claus. God has never answered me, at least, with words, but situations. What are you praying "for," anyway? "Please heal ______?" Inefective (by design) churches teach pointless prayer.
Mine was Anxiety and Panic Attacks. Though I still occasionally suffer occasionally, none of them are related to the fear God, going to Hell, or missing the Rapture.
The only thing I found that was "Easy" was going to hell. MY old preacher was always speaking derisively against what he called the "Easy to be saved" doctrine of evangelical churches. I always thought it sounded much preferable to the "Easy to be damned" doctrine of the UPC.
amen. Your sins are forgiven; and your pastor cannot even tell you definitly that hell even exists yet?

I had gotten to where I jusst hated church for many of the already mentioned reasons. I am glad to be out... I miss a few people but not enough to go back, ever. If they wanted to be friends they'd stop by, so guess not.
As far as God goes... my view of him has really changed... because if he were still the same God I used to think he was I'd be an atheist too. I've decided that EVERYBODY picks and chooses about religion... and then they tell you that you can not 'just pick and choose'... well unless your choices are the same as theirs, lol!
