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 that individual Christians take Christianity seriously. Our country as a whole, the west, does not take it seriously.

In the East, with Buddhism, Islam, and Hinduism (even Zoroastrianism and all the other Eastern religions), I think society as a whole takes it much more seriously.

As do the individuals over there. From what I know, Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus live their life as their religion. Their religion is their life. Muslims will spend their entire day doing rituals and what not. In the US, Christians go to church once a week and study their Bibles but we dont necessarily spend our entire day dwelling on it.
I mean, it probably varies throughout the US in different communities and with differnt people how dedicated they are to Christianity.. but not the the extent that the East does.

If that made sense at all.

if i had a gun to your head, could you, as a christian, give me a good reason to not pull the trigger?

I don't need to give you a good reason not to pull the trigger. Either way, you can do what you want.

ok so when u look at the phrases people use now a days
isn't on them "Oh my God" or "Jesus Christ"
what kinda of devotion to religion is that if you jus holla your gods name for any little thing.

also if you threaten any christians life i'm sure u'll get something like "you're goin to hell" or something along those lines. Christians seem to be afraid to die even thought they KNOW if they do they're jus goin to a better place. if that's the case then why trip on it.
Muslims certianly are heavily devoted to their religion if they are willing to die for it.
