What is Religion Anymore?
Curious; why do you believe in the devil, but are more sceptical of a God? And why do you call Jesus (or is it God, or both?) as "the Lord"?
If you believe that you're under some kind of demonic possession or influence, although I don't believe you are, I'd suggest you try and find out why you think that may be the case, possibly going to a counsellor or therapist would be your best bet.
I would not suggest that you hop into a church just yet, especially form an "exorcism" or a blessing, and if you did, I would encourage you to visit a more.. liberal one, like an Espicopalian, or Liberal Catholic one (less inclined to throw you down and start speaking in tongues ) would be your best bet? Even if there are no sinister or supernatural forces forces at work here, it may help to visit some that are less mmm... coo-coo so you can see not all denominations of Christianity are as.. odd as some of the Pentecostal ones.
My own view, though, is if you have these feelings towards Christianity, perhaps Christianity isn't right for you. Try and evaluate what it is you believe, and if you feel up to it, share it here.
Well, I believe in the devil only because I believe there is absolute evil in the world. Also, I believe there is a "God" but I don't think he is what they say he is. Honestly, I believe that he is just as "evil" if not worse as the devil. My thoughts of this is because bad things can happen to good people/innocent people and I know that all that is not only of the devil's work. If "God" was as great as everyone says, he'd save those people need be saved. Or prevent them from any harm. But he doesn't, therefore, it makes me believe that he isn't what they say he truly is.
And I agree, I don't believe Christianity is for me...not anymore anyway. I will definitely do some research of other religions that fit my beliefe. But I don't find myself stepping onto a path for "Jesus" anymore. Because of the fact that I really don't believe he is what everyone says he is. And I refuse to form my own interpretation of him.
And as for the bible, my boyfriend had mentioned this to me, one of the "commandmants" or whatever they are called is thou shall not kill. But in the bible, the story of David and Goliath, David killed Goliath (or the other way around, I think i got them mixed up), so I also don't want to go by a "hypocritical" book. To me, (and Im not judging every christian), but all christians I've met have been nothing but pure hypocrites. I don't want to worship along side with them.
