Faith, is beliveing in something. (Force, deity, or other)

However, believing in the sense that you believe it is there. You may not be able to see it, but its there.

Ex. ( I have faith that there is oxygen to breathe. )

Christianity is Historically, and Geographically accurate.

It, in and of itself is based on ten Commands. These are actually made to try make us better people. If one is broken, (Like lying,) you have sinned, (which we all do.)


This is where Jesus comes in, his death happened to release us from our sin. (Sin = BAD.) Like any crime, sin has its own penalty. DEATH. Or... specifically... eternal spiritual torture in the gates of Hell.

Christianity has made me a better person, and I don't wanna know where I would be without it.

1 - You don't have faith that there is oxygen to breathe. You have knowledge that oxygen is there.
Definition of faith:
Belief that is not based on proof: He had faith that the hypothesis would be substantiated by fact.

A) Christianity is partially accurate. There was a person named Joshua, and people claimed he was the Messiah. Do you honestly believe that he could cure Lepers and walk on water?
B) So what? I could say that the Spanish Inquisition traveled by sea from Italy to Canada to kill Abraham Lincoln. That's geographically accurate (you could sail a ship from Italy to Canada), but it's not true.

Here's an interesting diddy right here. God not only gave us the OPTION to sin, he gave us a literally irresistible urge to indulge in them. THEN, he made the only way for us to be forgiven for him to have the only perfect person EVER be sacrificed. Does this sound like the kind of guy you want to put your faith in? If he were so loving, why didn't he just MIRACLE our asses clean?

Baka:
Because hahaha, if the God christians believe, in exists, he's just a mad chansey who likes to play around with idiots.

No but seriously, religions were intended to give people without hope in their life, something to live for, and to protect people from the urges to kill or harm others. Today we understand the consequences of our actions more clearly. A human life is worth a lot more. Therefore religion in these days simply does not work like before. IT STILL however gives some people hope and something to live for, especially in less fortunate places of the world. So just let them have their beliefs as long as it does not in any way threaten the ideology of the country you live in.

As for Pokemon... Well, Pokemon is a fictional universe. The world, although mostly based of Japanese culture, has pokemon that protects their trainers against possible dangers. Any form of perversion does not exist. I don't look upon this as bad, as kids would not understand this anyway. Pokemon is a kids show, in terms of the Anime.
Also, part of the reason you are young when you start the journey, is because of the guy behind the whole idea. He always, from young ages, wanted to be able to trade insects, or bugs that he collected. It was his big hobby. This was the result, and could be looked upon as a presentation of this person's dream.

the whole argument on whether or not Christianity is real or not is kinda stupid... no point in the argument, cuz you cant really prove it's true, or that it's not..

i am a Christian myself cuz i think that it's what makes more sense..(whether u agree with me or not)..... but if you dont believe in any form of religion, you usually end up believing in pure science, which can't always explain everything..

dont get me wrong.. i love science.. i find it all interesting how you can figure out how the universe works from planets to cells..... buuuuut............. there still hasnt been any form of answer on how we came to be either...... nothing that proves evolution.... etc..

so in other words, you HAVE TO end up believing in something.. but none of the ideas anyone believes in can be completely proven or disproven, so i guess we'll just have to wait and see..  ;)

P.S. i had fun reading all the comments.... got me to think alittle..  8)

Well, they have found out that the universe is actually speeding up rather than slowing down, and that there must be some reason behind this. I believe there is something behind all of this, but I don't believe that this "God" (Whatever it is) has the personal characteristics that religions these days claim.

Frenchfry:
I believe there is a "Creator". That's about all I have a firm belief in. Anything else, and I start to worry that I'll begin praying to an invisible man in the sky, asking him to help me solve my problems.
What is the quote I'm looking for? Oh- right.
"Be the change."
Don't rely on an unseen person to solve your problems, help you solve them, or even root for you to solve them. The only people you can rely on are yourself and your fellow humans. And if, when I die, I am sent to hell for not believing in the Christian God, I'll know that I still made the right choice, because I'd have been sent to hell for becoming an independent person, and that'd be a sure sign of a malicious god with a petty want for respect.
