I'm sincerely Christian, but not the damning-you-to-hell-shoving-my-beliefs-down-your-throat kind of Christian.
It's not like I don't see or understand other peoples' views. I used to be agnostic but I personally found my way back to God and it's one of the realest things in my life. It's something I have a hard time describing and debating about, because it's a spiritual kind of experience versus physical world knowledge. It's something you can't go into with a hard heart or focusing simply on what you can see.
I don't see God as some magic man on a cloud that just made humans to torture them. If I thought it was just some cold religion about doing things to please some invisible being in order not to burn in a place called hell when I die I'd be atheist too. But I see God as the spirit of love, wisdom, creation and growth, that loves us and wants to actually have a relationship with us. That doesn't want anyone to perish. The reason bad things happen is because humanity as a whole is broken from him and it's given way to a selfish, self-pleasing existence. The reason God seems so far is because we turn away. Because the organized religion of many churches is mainly about the priests and preachers picking and choosing what they want from the Bible to suit their needs or ideas.
Everyone wants proof, and I can understand that I really can, but for me...the proof is in my heart. The proof is the peace I feel when I think of God and the reason I don't give up even when life throws every single thing it has at me. The reason I still want to know God and find out what he truly thinks while churches scream about my love being "unholy and disgraceful". If I didn't think God was real, I wouldn't make the effort to know him better, despite what everyone says.
Even if I'm just some crazy idiot and end up being wrong, I have no regrets. I'm happy. Sure, I still have depression, I still have problems and pains and the whole nine yards, but I'm okay. It's not eating me alive like it used to. -
I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus died and rose again.

Eh...Ive been a few things. Ive been Methoist and Baptist, a few others. I truely dont have a religion. I personally believe there is a higher power that controls all that happens in life. I mean yes call it God, or what other languages call it, I just dont manafet it as a somewhat pychical being. Yes im one of those that believe in karma and rencarnation. I believe every good thing and bad thing done has a major impact on the fate and destiny of people. Anything done wrong can just bite you back in the ass if it felt like it. I believe every good and bad deed is tallied and stuff.
But truly I dont have a religion. I just believe in stuff that I typed. -
I believe we live, we die, and I cling to the hope that there is an afterlife so I can see my sister again someday, but I don't know.

Curlingiron NewbieIm a Christain. But Im fine with other people religions or lack of religion. My best friend is atheist. And that doesn't affect me. Im not a for hard Christain to where I live my life based on the Bible. I actually don't believe a lot of things in the Bible, but Im still a Christain. The Bible, in my opinion, is very contradictory therefore there's no way for you to believe all of it. I don't go to church and I rarely pray. Yet, Im still a Christian. I believe in God.

@Curlingiron --- Please please please please do not get offended but....
The devil also believes in God.
Being a Christian is believing in the bible and following it, as well as believing in the existence of God. Christianity is having a relationship with God, also.
Please please please don't think I'm doubting your religion or anything. It's just that my mom's friend said basically the exact same thing as you and....yeah.
I'm a Christian. I'm not exactly "at peace" with people having other religions but I try to deal with it. It in fact upsets me very much I cry a LOT over it
