I am a Christian. But I'm not the type that will not be friends with other people because they are not. That bugs me to realize that people's friendships are being turned down because of their religion. I let them be themselves.

"So with that in mind, yes, certainly some of the events of the NT did happen in some capacity. I have no doubts. But to me, questions are more important than answers. I like it when there are several possibilities of something... the non-literalistic approach - keeping the horizons open."
Yes, I can agree on you with that..I think that asking yourself more and more questions will get you further than doing nothing but waiting for all the answers.

I believe in Santa and I'm more than willing to kill anyone who doesn't.

i am catholic...:)
I'm Catholic and I'm not ashamed to admit it, either.
And why would you be?
Cos a lot of people (and I'm not saying anyone from this website..I'm just saying some people in general) give Catholics bad reputations cos of some of the scandlism that went on in some Churches and stuff...also I have some Catholic friends that are like going Atheist just cos it's "in." Which I don't have anything against..I respect people no matter what their faith is.
I don't know any Catholics that hate Protestants..but I believe you..anyhow there is basically only one difference between Catholics and Protestants. My whole dad's side is Protestant. But anyhow, there are always going to be hate between people's differences..whether is be age, gender, race, faith, etc. :-(

Good stuff. :) You're one of those folks I referred to above as "we need more people like you".
I won't voice my opinion about (traditional) Catholics here, because I'll surely be cut to shreds. Quite surprisingly, there has been little reaction to my previous comments. Perhaps they were just over most people's heads.
It's pathetic... what usually passes for religious education these days is downright pitiful. Most people don't have a clue, which would be a fair enough reason to suggest why my words are over people's heads. In most circles, we teach science, national and international history, and evolution, but we stay far away from historical spiritual ancestory. Such a shame.
I hesitate to pigeonhole myself but what I believe is very heavily based on Wicca and Witchcraft. I read a book about it when I was about 15 and it all made so much more sense to me than just about anything else - reincarnation, God is energy and therefore in everything, which also means that all religions are equal since the Wiccan Lord and Lady are just facets of one thing - but I like to give myself the freedom to accept other things as possible as well. It's a bit hard to grow up outside of any religion and then just suddenly believe new stuff.
Having said that, on the odd occasions I tried magick and spells they did work which helped my faith in it all a lot.

i go to a catholic school and because of that everyone thinks that im super into God and stuff but really i dont care much about it. Right now my brother and I are inbetween and I have my own beliefs that if you are a good person and try to do something with your life then you are going to heaven or wherever you think you go when you die.
