I am a religious man. I'm just not very good at it.

I am extremely religious and have accepted Christ as my savior. I am not a bible basher, but my calling is go and make disciples of Christ where I can as that is what Christ has called us to do. I have no interest in doing that by tearing down the belief structure of those who are not born again Christians; If others would like to feel Christ's love as I have in my life, I am more that willing to share that with those who choose to. People are going to believe what they are going to believe and there is no reason to make your beliefs more real to yourself by discrediting what others choose to believe themselves. Is your entire purpose for starting the thread a reason to out a Christian and try and rip our faith to shreds?

Understood. I get that it is such a hot button topic in today's society. All peaceful religions are under attack it seems and now is when Believers need to have their faith the most and stand by their convictions. I am a firm believer in a steadfast motto: "If your faith has never cost you anything, What is it truly worth?" Seems to really apply today.

Im in neil degrasse tyson's camp in that theres not a nickels worth of difference between the popular faiths. Only that they are free to believe what they want
Only when people try to impose their will and beliefs on others do they open themselves to the wrath of rational thinkers. things like Zionist foreign policies, domestic legislation that affects what we teach children, faith based civil rights issues. shite like that

I was raised a baptist, but I ventured away from church for about 15 years. I just recently started going to a local church and I'm enjoying it. I'm certainly not a prime example of how a christian should live their life (according to the Bible). However, I do find church and Jesus as a positive way of life.
Here's my thought. Whether or not you believe in an afterlife is secondary. Living a positive lifestyle and treating others how you want to be treated is the most important thing. I'm not perfect, nor will I ever be, but I think faith is a catalyst for positive values. Some use it to be judgmental, but I use it to make this world a better place (unless you voted for Obama). Live your life, laugh at yourself and be humble. The end

MLK's civil rights push was faith- based.
Have you ever actually listened to some of his speeches and sermons?
He'll make a Christian out of anyone.

Not really though I do believe there is some form of intelligent design we can't truly comprehend. I do believe in the possibility of Heaven and being a good person would be good enough to get there. None of this requirement bullshite that most organized religions set.
Also don't believe in Hell just something man created to scare people into going to church

you're a true vulgarian, aren't you?

Yes

The more science learns about the makeup of ... well ... everything, the more intricate the design and the less likely any of this resulted from random nothingness.
I think people that believe all of this started from nothing - which exploded - are fools.

For those "intellectuals" who think that those who are believers are non-thinking "sheepeople", I challenge you to take a look at this website. My favorite segment is " I don't have enough faith to be an atheist". You should find it intellectually stimulating at least. LINK

I am not religious, but I am a born again believer in Jesus Christ.

My personal opinion is that its a way to keep the degenerates in line. If you find strength from it, thats fine with me. Just dont force it on me.
I will go with the do unto others line and live by that. My conscience is clean.

If you don't believe in Hell, why do you believe there is a need for Heaven? One can't exist without the other.
