You must believe exaclty as I do, or you will burn in HEEEEEEIIIIILLLLLLUH!
You must follow these rules exactly, and shun all those other rules, or you will burn in HEEEEEEEIIIIILLLLLLUH!
You know what, reaganaut? Religion sucks, and people are control freaks. Why don’t you believe whatever makes you feel better and let others do the same.

First I never said people had to believe exactly as I do, there are CORE Doctrines that all people who are Christians MUST agree on, but are free do disagree on other, non salvific doctrines. I can give you a list if you would like.
Second, I don’t believe in religious ‘rules’. That is the core of Mormonism and I shunned that when I left.
Third, I am opposed to ‘organized religion’. I believe in having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Finally, I believe the Bible and AS A CHRISTIAN I am COMMANDED to speak out against false teachings and false Christ’s. I am doing what the BIBLE commands me.
That is a false dichotomy, and it is contrary to what we see in the New Testament.
I am opposed to disorganized religion.
Well, you were fooled before.
What if you have been fooled again?
While I do believe in a creator, I think the the world’s religions are yet another attempt by mankind to control minds on a large scale basis.
I do not believe that anyone knows or has ever known why we are here, how we got here, or what our purpose is if any. One thing I do know for certain is that people fear their own mortality, and other people use that fear to control them.
You really do not know for a fact that anyone’s teachings are false. You do not know for a 100% fact that your teachings are false or not. They are your beliefs, and nothing more.
I'd be interested in your list, out of curiousity.
