I am a christian and I think it is fine.  Just because you are christian doesn't mean you can't have fun.  God loves you.  He isn't waiting up there with a big stick ready to hit you everytime you sin.  We are all sinners.  But go have fun.  You are doing nothing wrong.

sometimes yes.\nI am a full out Born Again, Bible Believing, Southern Bapt., Christian.  \nAnd there are times when i hang my head low over the actions and speech of Christians.  \nWe are targets and some dont realize how much they hurt.

yes, especially if you are not Christian its hard to avoid.  But not all, just a few groups.

"anyone who is a good person is a Christian."  I don't agree.\n\nYou are not a Christian unless you believe the teachings of Jesus Christ.\nIt even says that in the dictionary.\n\n\n"...it takes more than (being good or nice) to be a follower of Christ."\n\nYou're right about that

since religion began and no i think its awful, absolute power corrupts absolutely plus all the guilt issues they cause in people just for being human? no thank you. just being a good person should be good enough.

Being good is not enough and not even for a christian. We can't continue in sin and expect God to reward us Heaven. God is not willing to turn his back on us if we do the right thing and that's serve him wholeheartedly. God is merciful and forgiven but we must repent and turn away from that lifestyle or sin.

It depends.  What do you think is good?  If you are a Christian, then you know that you are not good.  No human is good. No animal is good.  Only God is good.  But, in our world, most think of good as an earthly thing.  I'm not criticizing the non-religious people, just saying that if you are not religious, and you think of yourself as good, you most likely are.

yes, being a Christian is about following Christ, not a religion.\n\ni think people need to feel strong about Jesus, not their religion. it erks me a bit.\n\n...and where in the Bible does it say if you cuss, say 5 Hail Mary's?

I don't feel that you have to.  But i think some people need some type of structure and assurance that they aren't alone in their journey.  I think it is definitely up to you as a person as to whether or not you need to belong to a church.  But going to church does not make you a christian.  That happens by asking Jesus Christ to be your saviour.  Just my opinion!

It is too bad when a so called Christian can't cut someone some slack.  As a Christian, I am blessed, but don't take offence to "good luck."

I am a christian.  And I respect you and what your trying to do.  I think it is always good to ask questions.  People should be ope minded about Christianity.  Telling people about God does not make them bad, not at all!

Bingo!!!!! You I would guess are a true Christian, or at least understand how one should live. We all need to take an attitude check once in a while.\n\n I am a pastor and I tell you, usually the ones who treat people like that mean well they just are a little over zealous and forget we are to tell this in love, watch our attitudes, motives, and language.

Awesome! I respect you, alot, because of this statement. I agree that God should not be brought into alot of things. Alot of these people make such statements blindly as they've yet to receive any ACTUAL experience in the type of situation of which the person you're talking to has gone through, but they feel it necessary to enforce (selfishly, I might add.) that they are a Christian and that by saying this they gain points with God. It doesnt. Why would god want to enstill so much trauma on a person? Common sense doesnt react well with fear, and in this case it is the fear that God is abit shakey about their loyalty to him (Which if they were a true Christian then they would probably come to the conclusion that as long as you build good karma selflessly, then their diety would be happy.).\n\nNow the subject about people preaching their beliefs and then sinning out their asses, I believe you're right. In the Bible, it says that God'll cleanse your sins (NOTE: I am an Athiest and do not believe this, but this is for the sake of argument) but that doesnt mean you should rack up as much negative points while you can.

I think the term is indeed applied to liberally. It seems that everyone is a "good Christian" if they attend church. I find this extremely funny, as most of those "good Christians" in church, live anything but a Christian life the other 6 days of the week.

I am a very spiritual person, but I am weary about the so called "good Christians".  They are usually the most closed minded people, and they are usually self serving.  If it's in their best interest, they invoke that Jesus would want things to be done their way. And if they don't like something, they say it is against Jesus.  Really, how do they know what Jesus would want.  That is why he gives us the Holy Spirit, so that we can be connected with Him, and make our own decisions.

There is only GOOD.  All things that appear to be evil are really teaching us something for our personal growth.  Christianity exists to help folks grow.  It helps them see that even though they practice a certain religion, they are no closer to the truth.  If anything, they become disillusioned by all the lies.  But, again, they "grow" through that and eventually come to the "bliss" they forgot.\n\nWe are not human beings having a spiritual experience.  We are Spiritual beings having a human experience.  :)\n\nP.S.  Since we all have the capacity for good and negative choices, we can't really throw stones.  However, most "Christians" I have met, seem to be more hateful and unkind than others.  It shows it takes more than a commonly accepted belief system to make a true difference in our attitudes and actions.  :)
