Aren't all religion's lifestyles?
Please be more specific!
A religion is merely something that gives you principles to live your life by - we are the human computers, here. We know what we like, and what we don't like.
With that said, I think it should be taken that in Genesis 1:26 "Let us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;"
I think that would mean that there's another 3 dimensional world of spiritual beings. And its as if they have security clearance into this world, they can pass back and forth, they are the administrators of this network.
But in the same example, I think that would also mean that we who are human, and made like unto their image, they who are spiritual, we who are human, are the users of this world, that God has created specifically for our uses. So, in this sense, They who are spiritual, cannot intervene or use things of this 3 dimensional world, as we can. Though they can see us, and probably, (though this is speculation) alter how we feel inside, like give us strength by touching our hearts. BUT we cannot intervene or see the 3 dimensional world that they can. So, we who are human, have like this primitive soul, I guess, that doesn't have all the functionality as the spiritual being does, so we need help from them to do things that we wouldn't otherwise be capable of doing (like, talking to God, or blessing, speaking in tongues, or healing, or whatever) So there are benefits for both sides of this 2 sided, 3 dimensional world. While we who are humans, need faith to get by, making sure that we believe in the right God. If I speak anymore, I feel that I'll lead some astray.
Anyway, this is all speculation. I hope you understand, there could very well be a hierarchy of spiritual beings, that goes from God, to Angels (good and bad), to People. And it is the angels battle, between them and the devils, to save as many as they can. And it is the humans battle, between flesh and spirit to save themselves and others if they can.
Now my question is, why keep your thinking in such a small space as lifestyles etc.. when there could very well be an infinite amount of other things. Like, everyone has thought about "what it would like to become Chrsitian" Before they became saved (other than the ones who accepted Christ as a little child, then there's probably no way they could've thought about it that much) and usually, the idea isn't too hot, as in our human nature, will compare ourselves to others, the examples that we know. But nobody who is not saved will truly know for sure. Because there is so much darkness, but it is just much easier to side with the negative than the positive, because the pain you can be so much more sure of (in this world) than you can be of the joy.
Anyway, "What do you think it would be like if you became a Christian"? should be dubbed over with this question. "Why aren't I a Christian?" And probably, an introspective look at the beliefs you already have would be in order. What are the benefits? What are the pleasures? Do what you believe have anything to do with Christianity, and in what ways, are they mainly pro or con? Would they even exist if there wasn't a Christianity?
Furthermore, I'm going to end this soon, but, furthermore, Christianity should be looked at a Philosophy, and should be looked at scientifically, and not just mildly thought about. There are many serious claims that should be weighed carefully in the bible, unless life is simply nothing more than debating the likenesses and unlikenesses, that is all pointlessness. If it were seriously taken into consideration, and every major issue of the bible was seriously considered in your every day life style (as I had done) You'd see that very well, there still is sin. And the Holy Bible is the only religion I know that deals with Sin out right. Also, I'm always befuddled by this question, but how could two Men, Moses and Aaron lead 144,000 (or whatever the number of slaves was) out of Egypt and establish a religion that's so cockamamee, so based upon purification and the country thereof still exist to this day? There had to be an enforcing force behind their Exodus, and that force must've been God. Who would enforce such a religion? I know, I went off on a little tantrum.
But when dealing with Religion, since it deals with such a large scope of erveryone's lives, individually, as well as on the whole, the subject of Religion should be taken into consideration as a major subject, and not a simple subject, such as movies or music, to be thought about. The in's and out's should be looked at very carefully, and very logically.
Above all, it should be taken into consideration, that to logically assess whether or not Christianity is real, is to attend Church a few times, accept Jesus as your savior (as it reads in the bible, the Holy Spirit will come into you, those who have a believing heart) and pray a few times to God. But I should also point out that it would be an extreme waste not to give it a good chance. Try the change for a while, and let it lead you where it may. Give it command.
Finally, Christianity shouldn't be the focal point for dispute and debate, it is a way to find peace and love in this chaotic world.
Also : Check out the statistics, would a bogus religion have such a large crowd? I think its unbelievable how well its done!
There truly is a God, and his son's name is Jesus.
