[QUOTE="jesuspunk25, post: 2874948, member: 568909"] History. Historical background is what gives organized religions credibility. And why Christianity? For me, it's because all other religions are based around what WE can do. Whereas Christianity is about what a divine being did for us, and there is left but 2 choices for us. Follow or don't. However, modern cults (mormonism, jehovah's witness, etc.) have gained a following and are now considered and accepted as religions. I can sum it up the easiest by quoting myself "Your beliefs should define your religion, not the other way around." I believe the Bible is Truth and that makes me a Christian. I gather any minor beliefs such as views on alcohol, marijuana, pre-marital ***, etc. from my study of the Bible. I believe as a race, we need to be more open-minded. I feel God is top priority but I'm not going to shun those who don't feel that way. IDK I just feel it's pointless for people to say you're going to hell because of _______. [/QUOTE]
