How many of you are Christians? I am a follower of Christ and I hope its evident in my posts. As strange as this may sound, I care for each individual member in a not creepy way. If you're not a Christian, tell us what religion you follow. I DO NOT WANT THIS THREAD TO BE A HATE THREAD! IF YOU WANT TO DISCUSS DIFFERENCES IN RELIGION, DO IT IN A RESPECTABLE MANNER! (That includes myself as well )

Yep, I'm a follower of Christ, and my life outside the Internet proves it (or I hope it does).
BTW: I've seen threads that are more awkward that this.

I'm Christian too, specifically Catholic, and though I say that I'm a follower of Christ, I'm also afraid to admit that I'm starting to slip up in my duties. Sadly, my family is unable to place church into their weekly schedule, as everyone in my family works, including me.

Tha main thing about being a Christian is following Christ. The Church today stresses too much about actions and "oh you better come to church or you're going to hell," which is total bologna (that sure is spelled weird...). We're not perfect, even though sometimes I wish I were .

Well, the reason why the Church does that is because they think that you need to do have programs, staff, a building, and a budget to have a church. When actuality, a real church is a church that loves God, loves others, and makes disciples. It's because the Church stresses on having a budget and all, that makes people go away from it. Because only 82% of America's population is NOT interested in going to church, BUT they believe in a God, they think that they're spiritual, and they have a good impression on Jesus. The only problem is this: they don't like the Church.
In actuality, a Church doesn't have to be a building like a church building, but it can also be a community as well. It's because the meaning of church has gone away from the real meaning. In Greek, the word for church is translated as ekklesia which means an assembly of citizens (or people) summoned by the crier aka Christ.
So the perfect way to dispel this is by going into the 82% and bless them. By blessing them, you're opening the door for them to accept Christ and hopefully start a faith community in the area they're in.
Man! I'm sure glad that I went to the Mission Trip Retreat, and learned all that.
