let me start by stating that this is my personal opinion.
In this case lets refer to christians( at least the conservative ones)
It is widely known that christians should lead by example right? meaning that it is the duty of those that know of the word and its meanings to spread knowledge to those who do not and save their souls correct?

How is it that u will find a staunch follower heavily criticizing..mind the spelling.. another just because ameonja the sweet waters? Why is it that a christian would use blackmail or threats of the world ending soon to secure a crowd to give an offering in church..is it a recommended trend or just a mentality that 'they' have. How is it that mkristo will tell me i am lost because i do things like clubbing?

I believe the world and its contents were given for man to enjoy.People tend to criticize thngs acording to their worldview or that which has been instilled by role models or mentors. Despite the case i believe kila mtu ana sense of purpose that which makes you, you right? So can someone second me on the fact that most christians have skewed the religion and ended up as stereotypes due to some guy modifying the religion and saying"hivi ndivyo inavyofaa kuwa".

The bane of organised religion, or is it church!!

The minute you do not conform you are edged out or flat out ex communicated.

Once you come to the realisation that You and God commune in your own unique way, what happens next? Do you get satisfaction from that and let it be till death or do you seek out other like minds and form a grouping of like minded folk? Who prescribe to your common belief and approach, and being a human grouping there has to be some order or else anarchy will prevail, so a few rules will be put down.

Before you know it, voila! you are in the middle of another church/religion with human set rules and protocols, that someone will find offensive or restrictive and move on. cyclic isn't it?

Personally am not an atheist, neither am I your 'normal' christian, though christian I am, i detest grouping because very few would understand me if any, I proscribe to a variety of teachings on life and God, with some being not even christian, so I remain alone spiritually, because the search of a like minded soul will bind me and return me to my original position before release.

live and let live,

No religion/church is superior to another

My 2 cents....

There are 2 kinds of people. Those who need to be told what to do and those who can figure out what to do.

Yes, some christians are obnoxious. But its the individual that has a problem, not christianity. Remember that the christian religion has been used to justify war, colonisation, discrimination, etc. This doesn't mean that christianity is bad, but it presents a challenge to figure it out for yourself.

true it could be a matter for the individual but how do u refer to one as an individual thinker whereas the certain purpose has been raised under 'duress' or mental slavery.....just like a child....when it gains independent thinking...the parent views this as rebellion..same as many churches...it could not be christianity but maybe the congregation attitude....however, i am a believer..but i believe in it being more of a relationship than a movement..

...correct me if i am wrong

si kuna plce in the bible that says u should not show off that wewe ni mkristo?
