For the atheists/other non-Christians

[vajradhara]

Namaste oneofthem,

thank you for the post.

1) On the whole, have you enjoyed or not enjoyed the discussions here? Why or why not?

yes, i have or i would not continue to frequent the board. the ones that i tend to enjoy have beings from various points of view whom are not threated by others which do not share their view points and are willing and able to discuss the commonalities and differences without trying to distill the various traditions into some bland amalgamation.

2) If you came into CF with certain views about Christians/Christianity/God, have they been challenged or reinforced? How/why?

i came into this forum with a much more positive view of Christians than i have now. my perception of Christians, as a whole, has been dramatically altered by the views expressed by a great many beings that profess to follow that tradition. of course, their actions do not ifluence my view of the Christian tradition itself just its adherents.

3) Have you become more/less/just as interested in Christianity/God than you were six months ago?

Christianity and God are not the same subject... nevertheless, no.. i have gained no more interested nor have i lost any interest in these subjects.. i would say that my interest level has remained unchanged during the past 6 months.

4) Have your reasons for frequenting CF changed in the last six months?

no, not at all.

5) Have you become a Christian, or have you become more interested in Christianity?

no, not at all.

metta,

Hi everyone.

Firstly, i am definitely not trying to start a debate here. But i am curious as to why people of other faiths, and even atheists, frequent CF.

To read different points of views concerning belief systems.

I have enjoyed the discussions; because of them I have learned much about religions other than my own and am better able to understand those people who adhere to them.

2) If you came into CF with certain views about Christians/Christianity/God, have they been challenged or reinforced? How/why?
My views towards Christians/Christianity has not changed. My views towards other religions and religious adherants have changed though.

3) Have you become more/less/just as interested in Christianity/God than you were six months ago?
Actually I am less interested. Six months ago I was attending Catholic school for the first time. The staff were lovely people. Unfortunately it didn't work out for me and I'm now basically homeschooled. While I was there my mother made me pretend to be Catholic. And, since I was pretending to be Catholic, I figured that I should at least know a little more than the basics. I found the rosary particularly interesting.

Not at all.

5) Have you become a Christian, or have you become more interested in Christianity?
No and no.
