is anybody here a Christian, and if so, do you really believe and follow Christ, because with all these posts about having sex and whatnot, it doesn't necessarily sound like it...but i don't want to be judgmental and say that you're not...

I'm Christian, though I don't know what kind of Christian specificly.
I've tried many kinds of churches, but I can't seem to find one that really suits me.

Just think of those people as loose believers ...?

There's such thing as non-denominational Christians, which means that you don't necessarily align yourself with a certain christian sect.

Yes, I'm Lutheran. And I think that's a ridiculous statement. Just because we're Christians doesn't mean we can't talk about sex and sex is a taboo. We are just taught to look at sex with a different perspective than some people.

now, i never said that we cant talk about sex or that it is taboo, just the way people are talking about it and saying how they've done this and they've done that makes it sound like they aren't. and like i said, i don't want to judge or assume, and so that 's why i started this, i wanted to know.

I wouldn't worry about it. Most of them are just making crap up to impress everyone. And if some of them really have had sex before marriage, they are the ones that are going to be punshied, not you. The only think that you can do for them if pray.

but in my opinion, i'm my own person and i can make my own decisions, including when and with whom i should have sex. i don't need to follow a book or a person who we have no proof whatsoever even exists. i'm atheist and i don't think that i'll be "punished" for having pre-marital sex.

how many christians do you know that drink? isn't that supposedly against the bible too?

See though. Christians beilieve differently. The question is directed toward Christians because athestiests have no knowledge on this topic.

I know a few Christians that drink. It is their personal desicion. That is kind of the point of Christianity. It means if the devil tempts you & you fall into his trap, it is obviously wrong, but if you have accept Christ as your saviour then you can be forgiven in an instant. It is Christians like that, whom drink or somit other sins while knowing it is wrong during the week & going to church on Sunday/Wednesday & acting like they are worthy Christians, whom give faithful Christians a bad name & a majority of the reason that more & more people are pulling away from Christianity. I never said that drinking & sex WEREN'T described as "bad" in the bible. there are lots of sins that are considered bad, but every human being sins, being Christian or not. I hope that no one takes this the wrong way, but it is really hard to describe what you are saying by simple words in which you can't express much reaction in. Christians are thought to have more disipline than non-Christians because they are more educated on the bible & the information the bible contains. But like I said before, everyone can be forgiven. The only unforgivable sin is blasphamey. Did that make any sence?


And by the way, you said that we have no "proof" that Jesus ever existed. I particially agree with that statement. Everyone has doubts but that is why Christians have to be faithful to their servant. The bible is partical "proof", as call it.
