"Is it too uncomfortable for you to reevaluate all that you've been taught and believe? Are you just sticking to what you know?"

I have found/seen too much undenyable evidence that there is a living, breathing, loving God at work on this Earth for me. I've learned so much of His love, and known that He is always there for me withOUT needing [more] assurance of that.

just going to church doesn't make you a Christian, and just knowing "about/hearing of Him" doesn't either - remember, Satan knows God, but that doesn't mean he's any better off - it's about having a relationship with God, through the sanctifying power of His blood and His Spirit.

I completely agree, religion isn't for me either! I hate anything to do with 'religion', which is why Christianity is about living the life, and not making it a burdonsome 'religion'.

Christianity is a religion. The Webster's New Dictionary define's religion as: "1. A belief in and worship of God or gods. 2. A specific system of belief, worship, ect. often involving a code of ethics." If you want to refute either of those definitions, go for it. But I still maintain that as a Christian, being raised as one, You probably follow both definitions of religion. And I know that just going to church or hearing about him doesn't make you a christian. As I pointed out in the first post, I'm atheist. Which is not Christian. I don't believe in Satan either. I'm sorry, but I don't need to be converted. I know you think I do. My main reason for replying to *llatrejull's journal was to offer another point of view.

I read it. I still think Christianity is a religion. I actually don't agree with that site. Dictionary and Encyclopedia's differ with you on what a religion is. It's okay to be a religion. There's nothing wrong with relgion. I don't see why you want to reject that term so badly. It's okay terminology.
