[QUOTE="rbamrah, post: 138242, member: 13364"] Hello, Siri Kamala ji! Actually not Southern Baptist, but I swear they are as conservative. My grandmother sat me down at age 12 and told me what horrors would face me if I didn't choose Christ, in excruciating detail. Demons would come, plant a '666' on my forehead, torture and burn me for all eternity. I went to bed that night and had the worst nightmare I've ever had in my life (still true today). What a nice way to bring a child to Christianity, huh? I think that's the hardest pill for me to swallow, and it was the hardest for any person to talk to me of. I remember being 14 and thinking, "how can God punish children to hell for not knowing about Him? What sort of God is this?" I don't know, just so many things turned me off from Christianity. I would pray every night for God to show me what the truth is, which religion was the 'right one' (I hate Christianity for planting that seed in my head, 'one right religion') and being left unanswered. I was so concerned for so long about it that I finally just decided one day to turn my back away from it altogether. When I did that I noticed many good things happening in my life. I found my husband and all the seemingly impossible became possible. I credit our success to God and since becoming Sikh my life has been filled with so much happiness. My thoughts exactly. Whenever someone speaks of the Christian God or wants to bring up a point of talk they reference the Old Testament. I believe (not sure) that many rules/laws/statements in the OT were 'cleansed' by Jesus in the NT, making them unneccessary to follow, however people still do. What I've come to find is that Christians pick and choose what they decide to follow and what they don't. This is exactly how I always wanted to see God. These simple but pure, beautiful things that Christians just don't preach. I don't want to be seen as a person who is 'dirty' and must spend my life loving God in hopes he'll love me back and find favor in me enough to not dispatch me to hell. But seen as a person for all of the reasons you've cited. I find myself agreeing with you on every point. Our relationship with God should be a loving, happy, peaceful one. Instead, as Christian I am told that I must compete for God's love by washing my sins and asking for forgiveness. Living in fear that I will displease Him and perish in flame. That is no way to live. It's been so good to meet you! I do hope we have many talks in the future! As a student still learning her way I would love to come to you for more discussion and comradery, if you will :) [/QUOTE]
