Hello,
I just have a question. I belong to no mainstream religion per se, but I do believe very heavy in certain things. I consider myself to be ver spiritual and wise in what I practice. I belong to a chat site where being spiritual is the main topic. It seems like always people are interested in what I have to say about the afterlife and whatnot, but when I do get a few people who disagree with what I have to say (which is fine to disagree, it opens other questions for me) they seem to want to quote scripture (the bible) but yet claim to be in contact with spirits and whatnot. I guess what I am wondering is why? I have no interest in the bible! If someone wants to believe in the bible, by all means please do believe. But why critisize me for not believing in the bible and tell me I am going to hell and yet on the other side of the mouth say you are christain? Why do people do this? Is the word of the bible a confort zone? I mean if you stumped me, I would not claim to be something I am not to make myself feel better. Most of the time when these "spiritual" people quote the bible and go on talking about how I am going to hell, I tell them that I know for a fact that the bible says talking to the dead is talking to demons (hence they are sinning).
Can someone please just enlighten me and tell my why people are like this? Thanks for the replies!
