Believe what you like mate. I will never hold people beliefs against them until they start spouting sexist fanatical crap about how people should live "gods" way.
Am i talking to someone from a certain famous baptist church in america
Believe me, the vast majority of Christians have a problem with this particular baptist church also.
You should live God's way not because I tell you to, but because it's simply a better way to live. It's like heroine. Not doing heroine is a better way to live. It doesn't matter what my opinion is about it.
A friend of ours tells a story about a church she used to attend. One day this other woman started showing up. She wasn't married and looked a little, um, masculine. But still people were relatively nice and accepting. In the course of getting to know her, she revealed that she was a lesbian, but rejected that lifestyle because of her belief in God and the bible. In other words, she wasn't "practicing". It didn't matter, she was immediately shunned by all the other women in the church.
This kind of behavior makes me sick. Here's a woman doing exactly what the bible says she should be doing. And she's ostracized for it. It's Christians like these that are giving us all a bad name. We're not supposed to be judgmental about these things. Hate the sin and not the sinner after all.
I sometimes attend church and sometimes not. It depends on how offended I am by the behavior of the others there, among other reasons. Christians are supposed to be living their lives to be a good example to other people. Other people are supposed to look at us and want what we have. But it seldom works out that way.
If you're having a hard time believing in God, don't look at the church and say "if that's what it means to believe in God, then I want no part of it." Instead, start first with God. Ask God to show you that he's real. And of course, you have to be open-minded enough to hear the answer. After you've accepted Jesus, worry about church later. And if you can't find one that isn't offensive to you, then don't go. But most likely, you'll want to hear more. And a church (that follows the bible) is the best place to start.
To get back on topic, I think Bill Gates is neither a Christian nor a philanthropist.
