I have no sect. I have been involved with Messianic Jews (pretty cool), Independent and Fundamental Baptists (not cool), non-denominational (Meh), Charismatics (a little weird), and some other miscellaneous denominations. I can count on one hand the number of authentic Christians I have met that actually lived out their faith. IMO, the success rate of the conversion process is minimal at best.

What I can tell you is that the Duggars are on the other side of the spectrum as the I&FB, the single most hateful and unchristian bunch there is. Frankly, I have given up on organized religion for the most part, due to what I perceive as the overall ineffectuality of it in practice on the part of its adherents. “Christians” divorce and remarry, watch porn, get abortions, have gay sex, avoid taxes, lie, cheat and steal as well as anyone. But they are all forgiven and eternally secure.

So whatever.

“What I can tell you is that the Duggars are on the other side of the spectrum as the I&FB, the single most hateful and unchristian bunch there is.”

Do I need to start with the requisite “I’m not defending the Duggars”? OK - Now, what do you consider hateful and unchristian? And does this mean that if you considered the Duggars true Christians you wouldn’t want Josh’s head on a stick?

OMGosh.....I will pray for you......you ARE searching, which is great, but you would be doing your soul a HUGE favor if you went to a Catholic Mass a few times. It's the one TRUE Church from which all the others started.....why not experience the REAL PRESENCE of JESUS??

BTW....religion isn't supposed to be "COOL" it's supposed to get your eternal soul to heaven and do what Jesus commanded, which is NOT easy.....but VERY rewarding.
