How incredulous have you got to be to be a Christian?

When you grow up in a Christian envioronment the conditioning is very strong, it takes a long while to stop believeing the Christian stuff long after you've rationalised it away...but eventually the brainwashing goes and you one day realise you are free and it's a great feeling of clearness and of having a clean head...but it really can take years.

I'm a Christian, and I agree.  Its all nonsense...and a way for someone to make a buck off of the Bible

Many many times.  It's the bane of my existance.  Some insist that I am still a christian.  I explain my views in detail but it must be very painful for them to listen (they're religious).  The one closest to me at this very moment is staring at me mutely.  I don't believe he understands a word I'm saying ;P .

You're probably a very intelligent person. But this time your guess is way off. I don't think you understand Christianity.

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.

Nope, not just you.  People are getting crazy!  It terrifies me to see these scary, force-feeding, frenzied christians (generally at their most scary when evangelising), but you've just got to remember that that was never what God wanted and seek a personal relationship with him and your saviour Jesus Christ - the people that do it wrong don't have to be the be all and end all - be your own Christian!

I have yet to meet a non-Christian (besides obvious trouble-stirrers who are just saying things for shock value) who doesn't acknowledge Jesus as a good teacher and example of humankind--even those who don't believe he existed. A story can have just as much power as the truth, and in many cases, far more.

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

Far to often I probly fall prey to these strawmen.  It is sometimes hard to tell the blind faithful apart from the fakes.  To bad there is not some sort of christian detector.\n\nThe worst part is when either the blind or the fakes get into the media.  Then they realy bring down how the world looks at your religion.

a person who did what he did.... how can he ever become a real christian? this would take a miracle first, and then, perhaps, everything else would be possible, including realizing the evil he did... and luckily, God forgives more than humans...

It was not one single event. I was just an honest Christian trying to do what the bible said do and people who do not believe that baptism is essential for salvation, kept attacking me and especially those who believe in miracles and tongue speaking and I had to always defend scripture. That wasn't too bad until these people infiltrated the churches of Christ and I started getting attacked even at church by people who wanted to use instrumental music and believe in once saved always saved. \n\nIf God cannot keep his one and only church holy and clear of false teachers, then why should I bother to keep defending the gospel?\n\nEven that did not make me turn but I kept reading scripture and the errors kept jumping out at me until I finally had to realized the bible is not the perfect word of God I once thought it was.\n\nI lost my my whole family due to church differances and even my children and many jobs , but I was willing to die for what i beleived the bible said. \n\nI haven't seen or heard from any family for over 10 years and my dad died hating me for my religious beleifs. He thought I was demon possessed when I served Christ. I wonder what he would think now that I am Wiccan? \n\nI am now pagan, Wicca to be exact and since we believe all paths lead to Deity, i no longer have to defend God's truth. \n\nI now believe in personal truth and not absolute truth.

Nora R has it right.   It's better to be a true christian than a false one.   Don't force yourself to be a christian---that is dishonest.  That IS the message I was saying all along about my atheism---why I cannot be a christian and be honest with myself concurrently.   \n\nI echo Nora---be true to yourself, love.  :-)  Your life is a journey.  It does not end when you proclaim yourself a certain Path.  :-)

The biggest difficulty and challenge that I have had has come not from within, but from the outside world.  I believe that we should all respect one another's beliefs and that our journey with God is a personal one, so naturally, I am continually disappointed with the attitudes and behaviors that I see displayed in the name of God every day.  I am also constantly barraged with, "Christians do this and Christians do that and WHY, WHY, WHY?!" and I don't have an answer except to say that they are not true Christians as Christ intended.  \n\nBut, I'm tired of standing up for why I believe what I believe when it's no one's business but mine and God's.  People think it's wrong to stereotype a person by race or nationality, but perfectly okay to do so by spiritual beliefs and I think that should come to a stop.

What is ridiculously funny on Yahoo Q & A is any type of abuse from Christians.Not only do they never have there facts right but make such idiots of themselves in the process:)

Very simple.  Being a Christian is one of the toughest things starting out, than most people will ever encounter.\n It's not a matter of ..taking a pill and going home". It is a lifelong commitment to God. You made a contract with God to LIVE a certain lifestyle. This is not a quick claim deed, and it's over.\n  Most people will just deny Him because why?  It's too easy, to say it's fake. They will NOT change there ways, they won't change they're lifestyle.\n It is too simple to be a atheist. That is a lazy man's way out of anything.\n\n  It is must easier to preach 10 sermons......than is too live just ONE.\n\n  There is no right or wrong. It's a matter of choice. You become a winner ot looser.\n\n By your own heart, you can be a looser and still be right.\nBy your heart, you can be a looser to someone else and be a winner.\n\nIt's all choice.  You accept Christ.  or. You deny Christ.\n\n\nHave a great week.

Jesus Christ is a fraud!!!\nDo you have a proof, enlighten us of your wisdom, why do you think so!  Is it from his teaching to love one another, the miracle he has done which no one can denied, or is that that even his enemy couldn't find him guilt of anything as hard as they tried, they failed.  A fraud!! why would you say that! if you want out hurt the Christians, don't take it on Jesus Christ.  You might very well regret it later on.\n\nGod is a joke??? you are very brave person.  good luck to you in anything you wish to do.  May you have the wisdom of the ages, the beauty of anything you desire, and the strength to know there value.\n\nChristians are stupid??? well, who can tell wish one of is sane, insane, or simple just stupid.  I, at times I wish I were stupid so as I won't see what I see and hear how we are treating each others so harshly, and at the same time, blame our fellow man for being the one at fault.\n\nGood luck to you\nSincerely,\nfrom a stupid Christian, at least at this moment. Peace.\n\nJesus is NOT a fraud.  God is not a joke.  and some Christians are stupid, but not for the reason you think.\nIf you wish to start a church, go for it, it may give you something to do other than wasting your life.
