I've lived a pretty dogmatic life. I haven't known much else. I started talking to a friend who's a philosophy major, and he up and tells me he thinks we just disappear after this. We have no soul, no spirit. We just live and die, and decompose. Like we never existed.
It's kind of pointless then. To live a Christian life. I've been trying to get away from it since the end of high school. Christianity, I mean. But no matter how hard I try, it's so hard for me to believe that this is it. That there's no heaven or hell. Then I think about all the years I've wasted going to church and essentially just talking to the ceiling in my room. It's just as easy for me to doubt it all. Anyway, the point of my topic. If you've grown up in a church, you've probably noticed how much stronger the fire is in the newborn Christian. Growing up with it... it just makes everything mundane and routine. Have you ever denounced Christianity, just so you can have that newborn fire? Do you think it's a sin? To want to experience the world and gain some sort of insight before blindly following the faith? |

I'm a christian, grew up a christian, and i believe in GOD. But i did go to an elementary cathelic school in my early days, other than that, it was just public schools. In my belief- Everything happens for a reason, and that's God's doings
Yes, I believe in a Heven an hell Why do you think we are living right now? Somepeople think they werent meant to be born. Everybody is meant to be born, God created us to have life. Now that is a big reason right there. WE SHOULD BE HAPPY THAT WERE LIVING! ![]() |
