I am an avid Christian; AMA
I've considered posting this for a while now. I am now because... well why not? I'm bored and wanna see what you can come up with.
Let me first start off by saying that I'm not gonna waste any time replying to foolish, immature, or spam. If the fact that I am a Christian upsets you to the point where you have some hurtful words to say, please do it in a private message. Otherwise, I will look at it as a selfish way of trying to garnish attention to yourself.
I have been raised in a Christian household my entire life. Now when I say that, I don't mean I was in church every Sunday or prayed before every meal or before I went to sleep at night. I was saved in my early teens along with some of my closest friends that I attended church with. I then drifted away from my faith as high school and college rolled around. Over the past year or so, I've rediscovered my faith and redefined myself as a man. I've been to church, reading my bible, participating in bible studies, youth groups and events, as well serving at my church running the sound board and helping out wherever I can.
I'm comfortable enough with my faith to be asked questions, to be persecuted, and to be doubted and called foolish. Then again, it doesn't seem to matter what you believe in, we all face these things.
I don't have all the answers but I'm curious to see what you've got for me and I'll do my best to answer whatever it is you can conjure up for me.

33 RepliesI posted this on another Christian thread, I'd appreciate your take. The other guy just babbled on about free will and didn't answer the question at all. Thank you. God's all knowing; past, present, future, correct? So he knew before creating mankind that ultimately, let's say 70% of all humans to walk the earth will go to hell. I think that's a fair number, most people across history probably haven't/won't accept Christ as their savior (the key for the kingdom of heaven) for whatever reason; they're another religion, athiest, etc. But for the sake of arguing that number we'll say 50%. So, half of all humans ever, billions of people will go to hell. So, god created his children knowing that at least half of them, billions, would ultimately burn in a lake of fire for all eternity so he could have the devout ones in heaven with him. Now, my wife and I are currently having trouble getting pregnant. If a doc came up to me and said "hey, I can get you 10 kids...but, we're gonna have to throw 5 of them into a furnace at some point in their life." Obviously I would reject that offer. Not the best comparison but you get the idea. Even if only one person out of the billions across human history were to be condemned to hell, I think that's a pretty messed up, unfair plan.

Why don't you as an avid Christian stone gay people you come across? Isn't it the right thing to do? For they are filthy heathens

3 RepliesThe fact that nowhere in the post seems to imply that you feel elitist about your faith shows that religion is to you exactly what it should be to most: something that fulfills [i]them[/i].

6 RepliesHow do you reconcile the facts of modern life; capitalism, disparity of wealth, various justices/injustices, and laws that are contrary to the teachings of Christianity with your faith in the contemporary era? Is charity important to you, and do you (rightly) agree that legality does not equal morality? If so, what justification do you have for living in a nation in which what is 'right' by the teaching of a religion so many believe in is at odds with the cultural drive for excess?

When I was eight, I would look at the cover of the 'Ghost Rider' comic book in my little home in Long Beach, California, and I couldn't get my head around how something that scary could also be good. To me it was my first philosophical awakening - 'How is this possible, this duality?'

What do you think of Christian pretenders that show up to church now and then and practice the faith when it's convenient for them?

4 RepliesI don't consider myself to have a religion as such but I think the closest I could explain is I am Ásatrú with a belief in the gods with scientific values rather than as people. Basically I'm pagan. My question to you is how can you follow a 'God' who lets children (even babies) die of horrible diseaeses and illnesses when they haven't even lived a life yet?

3 RepliesEdited by Durable Sausage: 5/28/2015 8:02:00 AMDo you see the contradictions in the Bible, how science conflicts a lot of what the Bible says, and how the Bible was made before humans had a clue about how the world works or do you just plug your ears and just let your religious leaders spoon feed you your thoughts? EDIT: I'm sure you're trolling but I want to see what you'll say regardless.
