    A few things that hold me back from being christian

    I was simply looking for different ways people explain it in hopes that there would be one that would ring true to me and maybe help me understand. I didn't even plan on replying until I saw some things that truly disgusted me. This thread was not meant to start debate.

    A few things that hold me back from being christian

    So God personally impregnates each and every mother? I don't think so. God may have created Adam and Eve, but God does not create people when they are born. People create other people.

    Interesting view on Abortion - Please Participate (FOR EVERY MEMBERS OF THE FORUM)

    My opinion is simple. I could never personally have an abortion because it isn't morally right in my personal conscience. However, I believe that every woman should have the right to choose.

    A few things that hold me back from being christian

    Ok. I was once christian. Then as I got older a lot of doubt filled my mind and certain things started to bother me about christianity. I started to read on other religions and seek knowledge to find the "right" religion for me. I ended up agnostic. I am a very moral person. I believe in doing...
