There's a reasons that people reject Christianity. In this article today I read about why it is that Brad Pitt rejected the Christian beliefs he was raised with. I recommend reading the article (don't worry it's short) because it really got me thinking.
In short, though, Pitt couldn't come to grips with a God who essentially demands to be praised. I've heard this before, but I must say, while I can see where that mental barrier would arise from, I don't understand how it could withstand any significant examination. I mean, the God of the universe, He created all things, He is supremely powerful, perfectly holy, AND was willing to sacrifice His own Son to save each and every ungrateful one of us. Even if one rejects the existence of God on other grounds, I just can't see how one could say, even if all that is true, God is still not justified in demanding the praise He deserves.
...Just doesn't make sense.
