Ratmjedi Posted January 1, 2003 Share Posted January 1, 2003 I am a Christian. I don't really read the Bible that much cause I have been a Christian and I think I have heard every sermon and verse from the Bible. But I do pray to God and talk with him alot. I believe that being a Christian is just a religion. I don't have a religion. I have a personal relationship with Jesus. Religion doesn't mean much if you don't have a personal relationship with Jesus or your God. I also only go to Church on Sunday mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break_dF Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Originally posted by GonkH8er Used to be a christian. Long since lost my faith.

But that's just my opinion Hmm... we have something in common. I want to believe in ... Christianity but I'm finding it increasingly difficult.

Jah Warrior Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 well, my mum teaches sunday school and i was "forced" to go to church till i was 13, and I'm afraid to say that I am far from being a christian. I am far more inclined to believe in the teachings of buddha (please dont tell my old dear). I have a hard time believing in any religion that demands that you "worship" a person or god, hence the buddhist philosophy makes a lot more sense to me. Trust me i have some fairly controversial views on religion so i best stop there, but good luck to anyone no-matter what their faith. (for the record - at the last census i put my religion down as jedi) ps cjais had teh right idea hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiRtY $oUtH™ Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I put yes because although I am Catholic, it is a division of Christianity. All Christian means is that you believe in Christ in some way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datheus Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 The validity in Christianity is questionable. bibles were not a common book. There's a good 500+ years of open souls for many corrupted people to abuse... Who knows how much of the bible is how it used to be. Not to mention the bible was written a few hundred years after Jesus... Not to mention that a fair deal of the old testament appears to ripped from the Babaloynians... If anyone is curious about some reasonable... reasons (Although I guess Christians would call it propaganda) why Christianity can be a bit on the bogus side...

C'jais Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Grab some people. Put them in a box. Outside the box, there's a lamp. Now, ask the people inside the box whether they think the lamp outside is on or off. Most people will probably say "How should I know", or "There's no way to tell" - and with good reason: anyone who says they know for sure seems like unwarranted confidence. Anyone who says that the fellow captives that disagree with them are stupid or wicked are just silly. Believing one way or another is alright, as long as they aknowledge that they may be wrong, and that those who differ are no more foolish than they are. If you had total amnesia, the mind of a child - would you have any reason to believe the world is full of spirits and Gods? Organized religion is like marching in formation to watch a sunset. On the rational side, those are my beliefs. Agnostic. While there may be a God or spirits, we haven't seen evidence so far which certifies this. We cannot say for sure that there isn't any God either - we do not have sufficient knowledge to state that for sure. But we should live our life as if there wasn't any afterlife. We do not have sufficient evidence to warrant a belief in the afterlife. My personal beliefs are that there's probably something out there. I want to believe there's something out there. But this is where my rational part takes over and tells me that I haven't seen a damn thing yet which can convince me. I approve of buddhism and other eastern "religions", as they focus on personal development, and leave it an open question on whether there are Gods or not.

Datheus Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 Yea... I'm with you on the Buddhism thing... People die over dieties that may not even be there, and possibly don't even exsist... there is no worse death then dying for a false cause... Dying for a cause means you have devoted your life to it. Whether you think you have or not. Your entire life leads up to the moment where you fling yourself in harms way. Every predecision lead to that moment, it made you who you are. And in that moment, you devote yourself to your cause. You pay the ultimate price. And what is more vain then sacrificing one's self to something that was just a false faith? But yea///I'd be a Buddhist if it weren't for that whole... self... improving.. stuff. I've never been good at that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted January 2, 2003 Share Posted January 2, 2003 I am a Christian, but only because my parents wanted me to be one, so I was baptised as a baby. Well, I didn't exactly have a lot of choice in the matter:)lol. I don't follow any of the Christian worship rituals, I never pray, and I rarely attend church (only 4-5 times a year). Just looking at the world today, and seeing what it has become, and seeing how much death and suffering there is in our everyday lives, my faith has been reduced to nearly nothing. Why should we thank 'God' for everything we have and how lucky we are, when there are millions of people starving in 3rd world countires? If we do have a good, he is a merciless one...

Well Gonk..when I say that I "want to believe" it's more of how I tried to believe for so many years. I'm just trying to present myself in a way that other "christians" can understand. Yes, I've lost faith. I tried believing...I really did. It just didn't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
