Not really.

Not sure = Not sure.


I've been in the church for my whole life. 18 years, and now I'm starting to finally think rationally.

But 18 years of indoctrination make me unsure as to how I should act and whats true.

Right now I'm leaning towards science, and fact... and then sometimes I get the occasional "Jesus is gonna kill me for this" thought.

I used to consider myself christian but I dont any more either. the reason is because I dont want to spend my life saying sorry to someone who I never did anything too. Think about it if jesus died for us does he really want all this sorrow. I would be a little ashamed if I did something for someone and all they did was say sorry for my troubles and ignore why I did it. As for the bible it was written a long time ago by people thats right people, its not gods word I could write that it is evil to drive a car or that we were created by aliens. people would beleive me.

What makes harry potter evil ?

Most of the Christians that I know are like that.

EDIT: By the way, I am no Christian.

This is kind of interesting actually. I definitely expected more Christians. (Unless bradybaker registered 20 different usernames in order to vote no on this topic )

I think it would be interesting to do a poll with more choices than just Christianity and see the true layout of this forum. Though I'd probably say that the people registered here that visit this section more are the atheists?

I'm thinking more athiests visit the philosophy forum. I stop by once in a while to see what's going on out of curiosity, but usually don't post because I run out of steam rather quickly. (steam, not reason) At any rate, I still like to see what kind of people are here, and a thread would be hard to cover all religions, but one never knows.

Its probably because intelligent people like to philosofise(sp?) and intelligent people often seem to become atheists

I've got 5 words to say to that:

What's that supposed to mean?

Well I was raised Christian and some of my beliefs could still be called Christian. I would label myself more Agnostic than Christian but then again i don't like labels.

I was a born again Christian for 14 years as an adult, it was something I was raised in. Currently I would say that I am an agnostic leaning towards atheism if only because I see no real proof for Gods existence.

While I was in the church I saw a lot of hypocrisy and in the end it just wore me down. I am much happier now and well if God or whoever runs the show (if anyone at all) wants to send me a message He knows where I live. I mean if we are talking about a divine being.

It is troubling to me that we are so quick to attack and in any dispute our first thought is to brace for the attack (be defensive). Someo f the lack of civility comes from American culture today. But it is a poor way to resolve conflicts. God or not, communities have to keep working and doing what they do. A good healthy debate about God, nothing wrong with that.

Oh by the way every evangelical denomination I am aware of thinks that LD is sort of like giving your body to the devil. It is true that God used dreams to speak to people in the Bible but the closest thing to LD in the Bible are not the dreams but the visions where the prophet or seer still seems to interact vividly with the vision. In terms of the control one experiences in an LD I cannot think of one example in the Bible and I know the book as well as any.

Jesus will have the last word. Not me. And won’t it be alarming if he does come back like he said he would. All religions have an overtone of be kind, help your brother or sister. First let me say that it is a documented fact that the man Jesus was alive and here in the flesh. Its documented history. Not a mad up story of pretend. Whether he is or was what he said he is up to the individual to believe or not. But like the awareness of a lucid dreamer the most educated and smartest people of the world looked at the books. and discovered. Woops, he is who he said he is. And that’s the name of that tune.
By the way the word Christian means to be Christ like. (To be like him)

I am aware of Jesus and what he said. I hold him in high regard. Even if I am not christian, but I am not a ignorant pagan as well. I know the christian religion very well. I was raised for seven years to be a missionary and I gave talks on the bible in front of many people.

I'm a baptized Christian, but as most of you know...I don't really think too much of that anymore...

Personally I believe strongly in Jesus Christ and I have a hard time seeing how anyone who knows about Him and belived in Him enough to be baptized and ask the Holy Spirit to enter their heart could doubt it later. If you truely are not a believer in God then I would just like to ask you (since you have nothing to lose if your right, and everything to lose if your wrong) please just take a few minutes and earnestly pray to God, ask him if he really is there and listen, dont just blow it off and dont go into it thinking that he isnt there just pray and listen.

I prayed for the Toronto Maple Leafs to win the Stanley Cup for 10 solid years, that didn't get me anywhere.
