[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the many reasons I stopped believing.  [b]So someone who escapes an abusive husband can't ever get communion again?  [/b] That doesn't seem very God like.  I've found religious people to be the most intolerant and judgy people I've ever met.  [/quote]

That's  the kind of thing that keeps me from believing.  It just makes no sense to me that this apparent loving God could be so harsh.[/quote]

As I posted in another response - this should not keep you from believing.  This is a man-made rule in one sect of Christianity.   There is some theological underpinning for it, but it’s disputed and there are stronger arguments against it than in favor of it.

The central issue in Christianity is whether Jesus rose from the dead or not.  That’s what you should focus on in terms of whether you believe.  Not this issue.   It’s like judging a baseball game by the number of hits or walks, not the number of runs.    [/quote]

The people who tell me about Jesus rising from the did seem to be argely liars and hypocrites, and Jesus never told me Himself, so, yeah, it's hard to have faith. [/quote]
