Formal Religion

I’m sorry God, but I just can’t agree with formal religion anymore and I am completely rethinking the way I view you as well.

S3 Church: Shallow, Superficial Spirituality

I’m sorry, God, but I cannot stand the over-spiritualisation of everyday events. The simplistic view of spirituality is embarrassing to witness.

Blessings or the Prosperity Gospel?

I’m sorry God, but I cannot accept the teachings of your blessings and the flippant concept of being constantly blessed.

The Sins of the Church

I’m sorry God, but I can’t ignore your church’s involvement in child sexual assault scandals. I was unprepared for how intertwined Christianity and child sexual abuse appear to have become.

The Theatre of Church

I’m sorry, God but I don’t believe you’re turning up to churches at all. Churches such as Hillsong and C3 have been growing at a fast rate and I believe it’s their theatrical worship that’s causing the growth.

I’m sorry God, but I don’t believe in the virgin birth or the miraculous conception. I also have concerns that the story itself forms unrealistic views on women in the modern era that limits the attempt at gender and sexual equality.
