Further Confessions of a (Former) Pharisee

Being a pharisee is one of the absolute worst sins imaginable. Don't believe me? Then believe Jesus. Because as I read the gospels, Jesus had nothing nice to say about the pharisees. He preached love and mercy to tax collectors, samaritans and prostitutes, but He had nothing good to say to the pharisees. He frequently condemned them and their actions. The sharpest words coming from His lips were reserved for pharisees, the religious hypocrites. And that's what I was.

Jesus VS The World- The Case for Christ Review

I'm an inquisitive person. For me, it isn't enough to merely have a bunch of useless facts in my head, I have to understand the how and why of things. If there is a song or book I love, I can probably tell you the backstory behind it, because I went and searched it out for myself. This same mindset also applies to my faith as well. There are a lot of benefits to growing up in a Christian home, mostly that my head wasn't full of useless crap. However, this also means that I've grown up with a lot of beliefs I don't really understand.
