Wouldn't say that religious families are driving people away from god.  but more likely that their own sins and the problems they create are.

I'm a woman(mother) pastor my 19 year old is atheist,the wrong thing for her mother to do is make her go to church,you guys have to make your own decision about Church and God,because she cant get into heaven on account of her mother she has to get into heaven on account of her own will.

I don't believe in God! Why would I?\n\nBesides the true intention of the church was a place to convert sinners and non-believers to christianity. It was never intended as a place to gather and worship just for the christians. If you believe in a god then you are not required to attend services. The idea of required visits on sunday began with the issue of ties. You know, chances are if your not there you won't give your 10% So of couse the church wants you there.

Its not an acceptance of god that there is that path. It could base of many factors. Never had knowledge of other options,habitations created inappropriate behaviors and less then admirable adult advocates.We realize that there is power in prayer but sometimes we fail in strength outreaching low income communities.We should regroup and get our power of support for our needy families.

You do not understand "predestination." Many Christians also misunderstand and teach falsely that individuals are predestined to be saved or lost. This conflicts with scripture on several points:\n\n2Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to keep his promise. He is not slow in the way some people understand it. He is patient with you. He doesn’t want anyone to be destroyed. Instead, he wants all people to turn away from their sins.\n\n1Timothy 2:1 First, I want all of you to pray for everyone. Ask God to bless them. Give thanks for them. 2 Pray for kings. Pray for all who are in authority. Pray that we will live peaceful and quiet lives. And pray that we will be godly and holy. 3 That is good. It pleases God our Savior. \n4 He wants everyone to be saved. He wants them to come to know the truth.\n\nEzekiel 18:23 “When sinful people die, it does not give me any joy,” announces the LORD and King. “But when they turn away from their sins and live, that makes me very happy.

people are selfish because they believe in themselves alone without consideration for the person beside them. this also has to do with the syndrome of wanting to get every happiness on earth and i can finally attribute it to not having the fear of God

Because they dont see anything wrong with thier lives,the problem is that they dont have a relationship with god.They dont understand that we are saved by faith,not works.

You need to find a church that makes you feel comfortable and welcome.  You might need to try many.  I think that it is very important to find a church with a pastor that teaches from scripture.  There are so few out there anymore.  So many churches water down the teachings from Christ and put their own spin on the Bible.  How can you learn from God if you are not getting the teachings that he provided for us?  Don't let people bring you down, remember that just because someone believes in God it doesn't make them perfect, we are all sinners and fall short.  It is in our nature to fall short, that is why we need God.  Please don't let your disapointment in a person affect the way you see Christianity.  Pray about it and soon you will find a church home that is right for you, God Bless.

One of the reasons that Jesus came was to teach us what the creator, his father, wanted from us and how to live a truly righteous life.  He compares the creator to a loving father.  When you look at the gospel in this way, it becomes easier to understand his commandments and desires for us.  Like all fathers, he wants us to achieve our fullest potential and like all fathers, he loves us no matter what.  In my view, the creator doesn't tell us not to commit sins out of a desire to control us but out of a desire for what is best for us.  Just like a father might punish a child for crossing a busy street after being warned.  God may sometimes punish us for doing things that he has warned us about.  This isn't because he doesn't want us crossing the street, it is because he knows we might get killed for trying to cross that street.  \nThe best part is that all God wants from us is for us to trust him and try to follow his commandments.  Love him and love our neighbors.  If we do this we don't have to worry about all the little things.  He will provide for us.  This is a really tough thing to actually follow and believe.  That is where faith comes in.  \n\nUnfortunately today so many people have been tricked into believing that you have to worry about tomorrow, (save money, invest, cheat people to get ahead, etc) and they don't understand what is really important-Love God and Love your neighbor.  How many "religious" people do you know who don't commit "sins" such as drinking, drugs, etc. and act so righteous yet they don't treat people with respect and dignity.  So many are like the pharisee in the temple thanking God that he is not like the beggar beside him.

People have free will to prove themselves worthy or not. A lot of people will be doing this life over till they get it right.

People try to rationalize things in thier own minds, to suit themselves.  They try to make GOD in the image that "they want", instead of conforming to GOD'S way of life.\n\nIt doesnt work...\n\nI wish you well..\n\nJesse

Well, if you're talking about the vast majority of people that don'tattend achurch service on Christmas, there are a variety of reasons for that, each pertinent to the people themselves. Some people would rather spend time with family, others choose not to allign themselves with the Christian religion, others choose not to align themselves with a church. You could also simply mean why is it so hard to get to Church on Christmas, that's because church attenmdance in the U.S. is highest on Christmas and Easter.

I think that many people who claim some form of Christianity as their chosen religion are not terribly interested in living a truly christian life. I mean, religion is for many people an excuse, or a comfort blanky, or something to that effect, but is not a way of life, as it should be. People shouldn't only be Christains on sunday, or saturday, or whenever. It should be a part of the way you think, the decisions you make, and the goals we have in life. So in answer to your question, yes, I think that many of us as Christians have forgotten who we are and why we're here. That's probably one of the reasons that the world is in such bad shape.

I have came to understand the why of the question you ask.  This world is not our home, we are just passing through.  The more we endure and experience, the more we cling to JESUS CHRIST and seek to do the will of FATHER GOD.  These things we go through, the loneliness we feel here, are all part of the plan.  If we were too comfortable here, then we wouldn't have a reason to want to go to heaven would we?\n\n\nI have said this several times here to several people, and as yet have had no takers...you can feel free to access my profile page and drop an email through there.  We can fellowship if you so desire.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU

I dont go to church- my fellowship is among my fellow Christians that I worship and praise with- The Church that is required is the people, not the building.  Fellowship is what we are guided to do, and for some, that works better in a church.  More power to them, but I do not need a building.\n\nIn fact, many people that go to a church to worship only do it once or twice a week.  If we are supposed to pray without ceasing- and worshipping should be an everyday practice- I dont appreciate being judged by people saying I am wrong for not going.  Just as I think its wrong to say people are wrong for going to church.\n\nI am NOT against going to church, I just dont feel comfy in the ones I have been to.  The last one I went to was AWESOME, but I had a falling out with a friend who claims to be super christian, but her and many of the people at that church enjoyed gossipping and slandering me- I dont think I am missing much by not going if thats what most churches are like (and from experience, it is like that in every church if you dont fit the code they have for people)
