christianity isn't either.... it's a faith... not a religion....
Religion... If it's real, good. If it's not, at least it keeps people honest...
I am a non-denominational Christian, though I believe pretty much what a Pentecostal Christian would, I don't believe in any by-laws though (laws that the chrurch, not the Bible, makes up). I believe in following the Bible itself instead of what the modern church says. Albeit that the bible was written by men, I believe it was divinely inspired. ^^
It's interesting hearing about all of your religions

I checked on yahoo dictionary thing and found what the word 'religion' actually means.
1.
a. Belief in and reverence for a supernatural power or powers regarded as creator and governor of the universe.
b. A personal or institutionalized system grounded in such belief and worship.
2. The life or condition of a person in a religious order.
3. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.
4. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
You be the judge of it. But to me personally, Christianity (all denominations) and Buddhism both fit into that category ^^
I'm an atheist.

I'll look into the Buddhism thing, it's just I was talking with a Professor (forgot what University he teaches at) and he was explaining to me that Buddhism isn't technically a religion. He wasn't trying to take anything from Buddhism or anything. I forgot most of what he told me (it was about 5 years ago) and I don't want to try to explain what I remember without making sure I explain it truthfully and accurately..You be the judge of it. But to me personally, Christianity (all denominations) and Buddhism both fit into that category ^^
Maybe that guy didn't want to believe that any other religion existed except for his own...Originally posted by lion_roog

I am a born-again christian, but I am curious
I find it quite interesting how many of you say you are mormon, or roman catholic, or etc. in otherwords christian, which blows my mind, because a christian is different then a roman catholic or a mormon, or even several other religions that people categorize a christian as!!!!
Could be....the only reason it came up was because I said something about Buddhism being the third largest religion in the world with 1 billion people....but he told me that Buddhism only has about 400,000 members and then he started to explain how it's not actually a religion....he knew quite a bit about it since it was his field. But it's always good to find out for yourself and check other sources.Originally posted by nafklt

Born again?....does that mean you have two birthdays now?.....
nafklt, I never left. Just been busy is all. But thank you still
yes kind of! born-again means you had to births, a physical birth, and a spiritual birth.....in other words, born from your mother's womb, and then born again through the washing and the regeneration of the Holy Spirit Titus 3:5... (salvation and faith through Jesus Christ) The Bible says in John 3:16..."For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Wait, wait, wait....what's this about being born from your Mother's Womb???....We are delivered by storks....you parents need to have a talk with you..
that is what i believe!!!!
I refuse to believe that I came from my Mother's womb....what is a womb?....but I am interested in this....how does this womb thing work?....what creates it?.....If I joined your religion....would I have to come from a womb, too?......Originally posted by StalkingWolf
your crazy!!!!please tell me you are just joking and that you know what a womb is?????
