I don't know where this goes, since there's not a specific debate topic.
Be considerate of others; not everyone believes what you do!

I'm starting the thread off with nondenominational Christianity, because that's my reply when I'm asked what my religion is. Of course, feel free to branch out. I'd be glad to have a reply from anyone just to see what your views are, including people who aren't Christian.

In my opinion, I think Christianity shouldn't be too difficult of a concept and that a lot of churches make things too complicated. These days I think people make it into too much of a "religion" or at least my negative idea of religion. I think it's more of a relationship based on trust and faith... for works, you do what the Bible says out of love and respect, not because you're horribly bound to laws.

I think splitting the church up into so many sections is rather silly and that anyone who loves and worships God and keeps striving to build the relationship is worth being called the same name as another Christian from any other denomination.

Opinions?

That's kind of what I always wondered too. But like mishyerr said, people will always interpret the Bible differently.

I'm not exactly sure what to input here. I agree with you saying that you should follow the Bible out of love/respect, not as a rule book. I guess I would call myself a Christian in a way, but I'm not such a strict believer - I don't even attend church. But I do read the Bible sometimes.
