“I always felt uncomfortable with the strict rules imposed by Christianity”

There are no rules imposed by Christianity.

Or at least not by Christ.

Rules in this world are quite draconian, he may find.

Then again, he doesn’t seem that bright.

Agreed. Christianity is not about restrictive rules - any more than guardrails should be seen as restrictions to driving a car.

“I always felt uncomfortable with the strict rules imposed by Christianity”

This attitude is infantile and unfortunately, is also overwhelming the position of modern culture (e.g. Like Outback Steakhouse: "No Rules - just right!").

I wonder how chemists feel about the "the strict rules imposed by chemistry". Or perhaps architects should rail against "the strict rules imposed by gravity"?

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death. Proverbs 14:12
