Why I am still a Christian.
#19
RE: Why I am still a Christian.
If you don't believe the Bible, what are your beliefs based on?

Also, do you believe that God exists? Cause I can't seem to tell.

Also I am slightly disturbed by the fact that you call yourself a Christian on the grounds that you serve as an altar boy and sing in the choir. Are these things really the most important? I think it more important for your heart to be in it, rather than just doing it, and I see no indication of this in your posts.

Quote:Religion is cultural.

So you go to Church for the culture? You're missing the whole point, that not what Christianity is for. You say you are a Christian, but how? You don't seem to think God exists, then what is the point? To fit in? That doesn't count as Christian. An atheist could very well go to a church and perform the rituals and sing in the choir, but he would still be an atheist because he knows doing it is meaningless and there is no God. You see, just doing the acts doesn't cut it, religion is a set of beliefs.
