A Message to All Christians - Don't Be Afraid to Do This

Published: Oct. 12, 2014, 2:40 p.m.

b'My name is Joshua Tongol. I was raised a Christian. For years I believed whatever I was taught by pastors, preachers and teachers. I was told what to believe, how to think, and how to live. Honestly, I constantly struggled with my faith because, on the one hand, I believed in a God who supposedly "loved" me unconditionally, but, on the other hand, I also believed in a God who was hateful, exclusive, judgmental, and violent.God, to me, seemed somewhat schizophrenic.I had no security in God\'s love whatsoever. His love and acceptance of me was based on what I believed and how "good" I was.Thankfully, my life and views of God began to change (for the better) once I started to do what I\'ll be sharing in this video.Here are some things for you to think about:*What if everything you were taught about Christianity (and religion) is wrong?*Learn to think for yourself and don\'t allow others to think for you*Always be honest and true to yourself*Are your religious beliefs creating a better you and helping make this world a better place?*Do you have questions about your faith but are too afraid to ask them?*Can you still be spiritual without having to be a Christian?'
