-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 can't take a lot of Christians and a lot of Christian denominations seriously. A lot of them like to pick and choose what rules they want to follow. A lot of them have random superstitious beliefs that have no basis whatsoever. If Christians won't take their own religion seriously, how can they expect others to?
