Today, I went to Sunday school for the first time. The priest assured us we could ask him anything, so I did. When class ended the priest pulled me and my mom aside and asked her to stop bringing me to Sunday school until "she learns not to question the bible and accept what she is told". FML

The problem with religion in a nutshell. At least with science it's acknowledged that information could be proven wrong at a later date instead of saying "the is the answer for now and forever, and if you question it you are a bad person."

That's actually not how religion works, at my church we are encouraged to question the Bible and find the answers, so we actually know who and what we are worshipping. This isn't the basis of religion or the problem in a nutshell and more of an idiotic and prideful priest who makes others look bad

Would you say it's important to point out hypocrisy in the Bible or not?

Yes, it is important, so that we can clear up misconceptions.

Reminds me of something the Buddha once (reputedly) said: "Faith is the blind leading the blind."

I don't know what kind of church you went to, but at least in the Episcopal church, you are encouraged to question teachings, as it can help you further understand and get more involved

As a ex Christian this sounds about right and hence I left religion in favor of atheism. I don't want to be a mindless sheep following something I can't question.

You can always convert to Judaism, where the pursuit of knowledge is a fundamental to our values. Shalom!

sometimes I honestly feel like priests know that religion is BS but they tell everyone to just believe it anyway.

My church flat out says to question things. Blind faith in anything is dangerous. The Priest obviously doesn't understand some parts of the bible. James 1:5 would say different. Or the verse that says to ask, seek, and knock. Search, ponder, and pray! Its good to question things!
