(I’m not a nativ, so excuse my poor english )I don’t know where you stand now in your search for God and/or answers. But I would really like to find out.
You are right, church isn’t what Jesus supposed it to be. A lot of Christians (and I don’t mean the religion, but the believe - following Christ)are sick and tired of the nowadays “Christianity". This is why all of us found your article here.
I saw something very strange: a lot of emphasis on “going to hell".
The heart of Jesus was poured out in His last disscusion with His Dad: And I want them to know You, because that’s the eternal life. (paraphrasing, if interested, check John 17 - the heart of the good news).
It’s true there is a hell, a heaven, Bible as the Word of God (read it when wanting to talk to Him, to know Him, to find his thought), there is such thing of sin (that hurts the esence of God).

But THE IMPORTANT thing is the relationship with God, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
If anyone’s sincere in his search, there are answers. And if somebody is looking for God … you will find Him.

The genocid, the (s)exploitation of little baby girls in Thailand, the Holocaust … why do you blame God for it?

Respectable Christians are generally good people because they adopt and respect humanist morality. They pick and choose Biblical texts to support the morality that generally prevails in western democracies. Religious people are good to the degree that they can ignore vast swaths of their abominable &#8220;holy&#8221; books. This applies to liberal sects of all three major authoritarian religions (Christianity, Judaism, and Islam).</p> Re: “Respectable Christian Ethics vs Fundamentalist Biblical ‘ethics’".
