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.
2 -
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.
3 -
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?

@ Stefan...

I have a challenge for you.

Read the "Holy Bible" from cover to cover, DO NOT SKIP Anything.

If you don't believe, okay, I will drop it.

I would rather know that someone doesn't believe after understanding it all, than rant incorrect information...

Dude, I Went through what you are experiencing, I misunderstood it as well at first.

Read it, and you may just understand What my faith is. The Bible isn't a series of happy stories, that much I know, but like any other book, it can be read.

This sentence just about sums up life. Forget enjoyment, technological advancements, and LIFE. Just praise God. You know, the guy that was so nice that he gave us cancer, AIDS, rape, natural disasters, and - perhaps worst of all - a level of sentience that allows these things to bother us.
By Christianity's beliefs, God isn't very nice. Sure, he gave us all the good stuff, too, but it kinda got balanced out by what I mentioned above. I don't owe any favors to that guy, and I'm definitely not going to preach to others about how great he is, when, really, it seems like he was bored one day and wanted to watch something weaker than him squirm.

I'ma just jump in, the coversation, for a minute.

Am I Christian, no, I'm actually something I call "Undecided" which means, I'm not going to be like a lot of other people and just be what my family is (Probably because literally every single one of them is a different religion.) Either way, it means I look into every other religion and just be what makes the most sense to me.

Am I going to try to make you not Christian? No, because I believe Christianity makes some people happy, to believe ther3e is a god, because everyone needs something to believe in, right? IF you want to believe that, fine by me, just don't try to change me into something I'm not, If you think I'll go to hell so, be it, maybe I will, no one can know the truth, until you die. Religion is BELIEF.

All I'm saying is that if this "God" loves you and cares about you, and says that he loves everyone, then why does he send you to Hell, if you slip up once, and don't pray?
