Your Religion!

I'm Roman Catholic.

Christians spreading their religion has a lot to do with the belief that the only way to salvation is through Christ. Through this belief comes the effort to spread Christianity in order to maximize the number of people who are saved.

That and if we convert enough people, we get a free toaster oven!

j/k

In other news, I am Roman Catholic right now mainly because it was the way I was brought up. I am currently in the position of questioning my faith. While I am still a practicing Catholic and I do attend church every Sunday, I am going through the process of discovering why i believe what I do and how I can make my faith more a part of my being instead of just something I do.

WOW!!!

Let the flame fest commence.

I'm sort of christian. Except I don't go to church and i'm not so uptight.

I do agree that religion causes too many problems. So many wars.

I can fix that.

All religions are based off Christianity. The only reason there are other religions is because certain people wanted more than just salvation and peace, they wanted glory, and so they took all the principles and basic beliefs of Christianity, altered names and events, and made up a new name for their self promoting religion.

I'm a Christian, I was raised Jewish, until the Lord came to me and changed my life. I am now a Christian, as I said before. The denimination I presently practice is Episcoplian, as I find the "high churchness" of it brings me closer to God, and shows some of the best we can give, in terms of worship. Indeed, my personal relationship with God is that which makes me unseceptable to athiest banter. And while I, personally, don't believe you are going to hell, I do think your life would be more fulfilled if you let God into your hearts.
I'm not trying to convert anyone... and I think this is not the place for anyone to attemp that.
