No. Christianity is about who you are, not just random choices you make.\n\nGrace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.\nBut also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.\nTherefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  II Peter 1:2-10\n\nLet us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:\n Fear God and keep His commandments,\n For this is man’s all.  Ecclesiastes 12:13

Anyone who has read and understands their Bible knows you are not the real deal. Please get some help for your delusions of grandeur.

First of all I would like to commend you for making the best decision of your life. I know that it appears to be a struggle letting go of the habits that you have developed in life, but I will assure you that it only feels like that because that is how the evil one would like you to feel, defeated. But you know as well as I do that there is only one source that is mightier than that evil liar, and that is Almighty God Himself.!!!  The fact that you want to be a Christian role model for your children will indeed cause the liar to squirm, it will reek havoc among its clique, causing it to throw temper tantrums and spreading a barage of lies and imaginations your way, the liar of lies will try and make you feel as if you are doing all this in vain. BUT-- NOT TO BE DISCOURAGED!!! Tada - Our Heavenly Father is watching and keeping His hand over you, you see there were some promises that were given to you when you accepted God's Son as your Savior. You were promised Eternal Salvation as long as you remained faithful and did not turn your back on Jesus, it sounds to me like you are doing all that you can to retain the relationship that you have with Jesus. Amen. Here are some scriptures that will surely help you as the liar comes to overwhelm you. Remember brother, as soon as it tries to decieve you, rebuke it with authority, the authority that God gave you!! You can stand up to that wiley thief, as long as you believe that you are a child of God, the brother of Jesus and the Prevailing Saint that God intended you to be. \nOur prayers will be with you brother, I know that you will dominate this challenge that has come your way, Have Faith, Trust and Believe!!\nFreedom from Sin - Ezekiel 36:25-26 - Romans 6:6-7 - 2 Corinthians 5:17 - \nRomans 6:14 - Colossians 2:6-7 - 1Corinthians 16:13 - Isaiah 40:29\nthese are just a few. God Bless you brother.

I don't think so.  I think my mother is the one who gave me self confidence. My religion gives me hope and comfort. With the bible as my guide, I am sure my interaction with people is differnt had I not had religion in my life.

Other brothers can't deny my friend\n\nIf they were to denie then they would be illiterate booty watchers.

No, I would not feel betrayed.  Religion is a belief system.  It is something humans need to foster a sense of community.  It is separate from Spirituality, which can still exist in the *Worm gets you in the End* scenario.  So, since Spirituality could still give my loved ones the feeling and need to do good works, I wouldn't need to share anything with them.  Besides which, the Worm would have to be my spokesperson anyway.

It seems that some people from all different faiths feel that if they belong to that faith (even loosely) it gives them the right to jump on a soapbox and tell the world that what they believe is the only way to go and if you don't believe it you'll go to an undesirable place.  \n\nI understand and appreciate what you're saying and you're free to believe as you wish.  It's the "others" that try to force their beliefs on you that drive most people crazy.  We're free to believe what we'd like to too.  You're right, you can't save anyone's soul.....wish other people would get that and worry about their own souls.

I think that it depends on the person.  My brother went crazy with christianity.  After his mission, he would take things from us that he didn't feel was alright for us to have and would lecture us about the way we live and what we would do.

Now stop J Man, you're not looking at life from a "logical" view. Obviously those crazy Christians (like me) have got you brainwashed! The God we love and adore, why, we need to give all that up, because some dude on Yahoo showed me the error of my ways.

No, and this is one of my pet peeves. I changed my religion because my initial one felt "wrong" to me. I went searching for what felt right and I found it through my own quest. I didn't need anyone badgering me, which is how every person I met trying to convert another has come off. I hate when people try to lay their own beliefs on others.

I keep God in my own way. \n\nRight on brother.

I don't feel brainwashed--more like bombarded...\n\nENOUGH ALREADY!

No. Absolutely not. The fact that I have a strong faith is a personal decision. What anyone else chooses to believe in is entirely up to them, and I do respect that. I wouldn't be living the way my faith requires if I were to push it onto someone else. I respect their beliefs the same way that I would want someone to respect mine. (Lutheran)
