fair enough. :) as long as you are here though, you might as well get converted. ;)

You guys wouldn't like me as a Christian.

No one did, when I was one. Religion just makes some people crazy, and I'm one of them.

I used to be... But being legalistic as a Christian turns so many away, including the one living in legalism. It is why I fell back for such a long time, cause I thought if this is Christianity, whats the point. What Christ did was set us free from the law and of sin and death. I obey because I love Christ, not because I am obligated to. And as Christians, it is our responsibility to share with others of Christ, not force Him down people's throats. In that small time frame, I almost completely turned my family away from God...

It is okay to be passionate because God did so much for us. But there is a line that is there, that crosses over into judging others rather then being there for them and just loving them as Christ did.

Yeah, but I know I would never accept a loving version of Christianity. I like the harsh stuff, and I know I'll be overwhelmed by the emotions again.

Even to this day, I can't help but be filled with disgust when I see a "coexist" bumper sticker, or visit the liberal Christian forum section of this site.

Christian is about being spiritual not religious. Jesus constantly told the religious leaders in his time that they were crazy. Then they crucified him.

I guess I just don't really see the difference.

Try and discern what God wants. Not follow man made traditions

That's what I did as a Christian, and it still landed me in trouble.

I still don't see how that isn't part of religion though.
