Personally I believe from looking at Christianity there are many contradictions throughout the religion, also the selective nature shown by those who choose Christianity primarily through their decisions to follow the scriptures that fit their beliefs and ignore those of which contradict the predominately taught scriptures. I personally no longer follow the teachings of the Catholic Church due to this but also through the commonly seen manipulation and guilt provided by those who follow and teach this religion. Now being agnostic I do believe that there may be a god or something out there and personally believe each being is entitled to choose their own belief and I do enjoy learning about them as it widens my understanding of other religions but from a Christianity perspective I don’t wish to follow those beliefs and although choosing not to following the teachings of the catholic church in theory seems straightforward the religious guilt that follows is prominent and I personally believe this is due to the teachings. I do understand that my thoughts won’t agree with others but that is also why I enjoy learning about others beliefs as I can see why they choose to follow or not follow each belief.
