In reply to the discussion: Jesus, hate , and fried chicken [View all]longship
(40,416 posts)38. That is as reasonable religious position as any.
I was raised UCC (United Church of Christ -- we called ourselves Congregationals), but even as a kid I thought Christianity as kind of strange. But I still loved the music and friendship at church every week. My family was active until I was about 12-13. Then, we all stopped going to church, the whole family. It was a mutual decision after attending the same church for as long as I could remember.
Thanks for your response.

Jesus wasn't preaching violence, he was speaking of upheaval, change, division and reform.
