-United Methodist
-African Methodist Episcopal -Missionary Baptist -Non-Denominational -Church of Christ -Church of God & Christ -Lutheran -Church of Zion -Etc. Christianity is pretty busy religion. Based on interpretation, it can be a strict lifestyle or a strict business. Compared to other religions, Christianity doesn't seem to be taken as seriously. Is it the society we live in, or the fallacies found within Biblical text? Debate. |

I think it's the second option, at least that's my interpretation. It seems to me like some Christians don't follow the "rules" as strictly because there's the promise of forgiveness that they can fall back on. I can't say much else without getting too general, because I'll be honest and say I don't know much about other religions. From my perspective, though, it seems like followers of other religions are much more willing to fully align themselves with those lifestyles than many Christians are.
However, I will say for many who identify themselves as Christian that they take Christianity VERY seriously. |
