There is a time in my life that i really hate Christianity, to me Christianity usually equals to foolish, arrogant, hypocrite and many more. No thanks to
Faye's father. It's a life time experience that I'll never forget in my life. It's also one of the darkest moment in my life, since being abuse, insult and all the crap by a so call all holy Mr nice guy Priest. I mean I understand as a father, you'll do whatever it's best for your children. But as a Religious Leader, how could you say such thing to a young man? As the bible said '
And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.' At this time, I thought I've seen it all and know what Christian really is. But i was wrong, what i see is just 1 side of Christianity. The Ugly side~
Right after I broke up with Faye, I spend most of my time in a Christianity forum. Trying to find the prove that Christianity= garbage. I called myself an Anti-Christ. And claim myself as Anton LaVey's follower, Marilyn Manson is my god. I fight and insult almost every member in the forum, replying them furiously. Most of the people in there hated me so much, they curse me~ hahaha, and i thought i have prove Christian people are not the nicest people around. And a guy name Dante appear, a freakesh punk ass ugly dick started to chase my away from the forum. The words he use is unimaginable. Every single word he said will piece in ur heart, and it hurts. And here comes Brother
Ron, at first I really hated him cause he looks like another hypocrete to me. Then i realise, he is a real saint. The first time I ever felt that Christianity could be like this. In the end i appologize to him and bellow is the message we both exchange.

Hello Kent,
I accept your apology, and I am very thankful that you took the time to write. I had Prayed that my words would not fall on deaf ears (that something was worthwhile in writing them).
I would like to hear more about what happened with your Girlfriend "gf" (if I am correct in what that means). What? Did she turn out to be a hypocrite like many others? Did she proclaim Christianity, but not live like one is supposed to?
I too, have been hurt by women (and at times, I felt like I hated them, because of how much they hurt me -- Lies, Deceit, Cheating, etc.,) When I really had cared for them. I have been very badly hurt at times.
There are many things that the group in (C.I.F.) don't know! Many there, just repeat things, but have not really experienced things for them self.
Following after GOD, goes way beyond a title. It deals with the Heart of Man!
I know many people who say they are a so called "Christian", but live a life that is contrary to what would please GOD.
The Scriptures say: You will know them by the fruit they bear/produce.
If you have a Bible:
Matthew Chapter 7 (only 29 verses) has a lot to say! Try reading it if you can, ok. Or try the linkbelow!
****************
Kent, I had my doubts about things also, and I really did not live the life of righteousness, or a life that was pleasing to GOD! I did what seemed good infront of others on the outside, but it was really just a show then. I grew up in the so called Church, but then I just went through the motions (I went because my mother wanted me to go, thats really it... Then I met some friends there on a retreat; I would still go, but then it was just to hang out, not really to hear the sermon, or worship or anything like that). I really still did not know what it meant to have real relationship with HIM. This was most of my life like that, even though I sometime sang in the choir, or part of singles ministry, or young adults ministry, or men's ministry. I was just going through the motions (because it seemed I was supposed to do it from pressure with other people. Sort of like, they did it, so maybe I should do it also?)
I was a hypocrite. Going to Church, but still living a life of Sin in my private life, away from what others/those at the church could see. I feel very sorry/sad about those times, and I am Glad that GOD had patience to me. (HIS Love & Mercy have carried me far, and I am Truly thankful to/for HIS Forgiveness to me, and to/for HIS Forgiveness to You!)
I realized much later about True Relationship, and the meaning of what True Church really was... But again, this happened much later in my life (I guess, when I was ready for it & HIM!)
I don't want to ramble on here. But if you would like to know more, or hear what made the change in my life, to get a deeper understanding & a better relationship with HIM (and what makes me the kind of person I am today);
Just write back, ok. :-)
Kent, I hope that you are doing well! And again, I forgive you! (Mark 11:25-26) ;-)
It's no big deal. I just wanted to understand why you were writing some of the things that you wrote. I felt some hurt (that you might have already experienced) in your words. I'm here if you ever want to talk about things. No one has to know, ok.
May GOD bless you; if you're heart/mind is ready to come and learn more about HIM!
I am a living testimony, that HE Blesses those that strive to learn & do HIS Will (to bring HIM The Glory!)
I think I can share a lot with you! If you are willing to learn (what many others seem not, to know!)
In HIS Love,
Bro. Ron Q.

After reading his message, I really felt touched. But it's not enough to change my mind about how Christianity is. But it did make me felt curious bout it. So i continue my quest in the forum. At the end of the day I finally understand. It's not the religion, it's the people. It's the people that make the religion looks bad. I also realize that NONE of the religion actually will lead you to the bad path, it's just how u interpret it. Like Dante, he has gone way beyond the boarder and basically i think he is nuts. He thinks he know all about Jesus, and he also claim he is the all righteous one. =.=
Now I no longer hate Christian and Christianity. Even though I'm not a Christian, I think I understand them better. But I don't think I would convert into a Christian in this life time. I still think Buddhism suits my believe better. In the end here i would like to say 阿彌陀佛~ May every one wish will come true in the year of OX.
