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?

Well a lot of reasons why there is different denominations within a religion is history. I was born, baptized, and confirmed a Christian. Sometimes my parents make me go to church with them but nowadays I doubt God. It's not that I don't believe that there is some force much greater than us, but I just doubt him. God is supposed to help you, and I've so many things in my life happen that make me doubt he exists. In all honesty, I have strange views on religion in general that not many people like. I think religion is just a safety cushion. I think it's something that people follow as a way to not fear the unknown... what happens after we die and why, in fact, things happen.
