No, not really, man. My parents are Lutherans, I was never forced to go to church or anything. I used to go to church on my own when I got older, just so I could learn about God from the Bible. And many messages were great, music and everything else. But at the same time I was reading many spiritual book, because I wasn't gonna close my mind on the bible and believe it blindly. Then I simply came to conclusion, that there is no way I can believe in "bible god", some kind of judgmental, vengeful, God who judges people and punishes them for disobeying his commands, some kind of hypocrite, who first gives people free will and then tell them "you better follow my commands or i will condemn you for eternity".
P.S. I can see how I come out bitter about religion, but many negative things I say, I mean more about not today religion, but earlier days when it's all started, when church and the state were together, etc. Most churches these days mean well, it's just sad that they based all of it on nothing more than a Bible. I simply can not understand that. I asked this question few times in this thread, but nobody answered... What else do you have besides Bible? Personal knoledge that comes straight from God, different books you've read, something else? Question to everyone, not just to Dadof.
P.S.S. I actually have a lot of respect to you, Dadof, you have many valid points regarding your believes.
