• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

No longer a Non-Christian? Why not?

Former Non-Christians, I've been following a thread that Aldebaran started called, No longer a Christian? Why not?. I thought it would be interesting to hear from the other side as well so, if you are a former atheist, agnostic, humanist, deist, LDS, JW, Muslim, etc., please let us know why you decided that Christianity is true after all.

Thanks!

Yours and His,
David

I felt an inner something prompting me to travel in a direction which, as an apatheist, with no very high opinion of self appointed guardians of the nation's morality, I felt Ill inclined to travel in.

I have had similar experiences since, prompting me to adjust my religious opinions. Every time I have resisted them, and every time I have eventually given way.

Well I like to give to the poor. Does that count? Ir do I have to do the scouts honor hand signal and reject all works of the devil too?

Meaning: I am influenced by Christ, but not rally a "christian" in an orthodox sense.

Giving to the poor has nothing to do with being a Christian. The salient question here is whether you believe there was a person named Jesus who was the son of God, and that God exists.

Because the Bible has the answers to many questions that are not answerable.

This is not a philosophical topic. It's in the wrong forum.

Perhaps you are correct. Which forum do you believe would be more appropriate (perhaps GT/Salvation)? I put it here, as I said in the OP, because I was following the thread and topic, "No longer a Christian? Why not?", that was already here in Philosophy. Perhaps both would be better elsewhere on CF?
