Christians Keep Telling Me God Wants Me To Suffer

<p>One of the many reasons I&rsquo;m not a Christian is that everyone seems to have a different interpretation of what the Bible means.</p> <p>They pick and choose which bits to believe and which to quietly discard, like those who preach that &ldquo;man shall not sleep with man&rdquo; but happily eat shellfish and keep their beards nice and neat.</p> <p>Honestly, the only part of Leviticus that makes any sense is the ban on wearing linen with wool because seriously, what possible weather event would that combination work for?</p> <p>If there&rsquo;s one thing, however, that I wish Christians would get their stories straight on, it&rsquo;s which version of God is real &mdash; the one from the Old Testament or the New? Plague and pestilence or puppies and kittens?</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/deconstructing-christianity/christians-keep-telling-me-god-wants-me-to-suffer-5f050f34c5e8"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
