Quote:Call bullshit all you like, I'm not even sure what "True Atheist" means.I stated “bullshit” because of “Your” quote on saying you were an Atheist before you became a Christian. Your statement; During my change from Atheism to Christianity,
As far as “True Atheist”, I only put the first part in to escalate the word, no more, no less.
Quote:Thank you.You welcome.
Quote:I am an Agnostic Christian, which means I believe in the teachings, I believe in the ideas and principles of the Christian religion, but I do not know them or claim them to be true.
Furthermore, my belief in God is quite seperate from my Christianity, and based on my own personal experience, coupled with my observations of the world around me. I have read very little of the Bible, but I am aware of it's contents and meaning through study of this life I am living.
Can you really be called a “Christian”? Personal Understandings based on, personal opinions, is one thing, but not a “Christian”, unless you are preparing to add on another branch to the 38,000 other sects of Christianity?
Also, you state many times over in reference to a “God” you label “IT” as a “HE”….. Do you really believe this deity is a “He”?
Quote:You're right, I never was an Atheist to begin with.Now it’s my turn to say, “Thank you”…..
I know you are not like the “Majority”, but I do question your ways of thinking in concerns with your personal faith/belief/Understandings and label it as “Christianity”….Regardless of the first word before it (Agnostic)…
In all honesty, I believe the majority of congregations across the U.S. and so on, are “Agnostic” in terms of questions they have about the “What Ifs”. However, they usually will never come out and say it publicly.
If you want to believe in a "Personal god", there is nothing I can say, other than, best of luck, but I can only hope your "Agnostic" side comes more through with any personal questions, through circumstances that arise.
