Re: Is Christianity intolerant?

[(Anonymous)]

If faith is personal, why put the "I'm Christian" label on it though? Because then aren't you automatically aligning yourself with a certain group that has certain ideas that you may not hold to be true? Can't you have your faith without the label?

For instance, people who may believe going to church is part of being Christian, what makes you right and them wrong?

Re: Is Christianity intolerant?

The "I'm Christian" thing is because, in essence, it's what I am. Christ-ian. (wow that sounds ultra corny but whatever) There are different ways to be Christian, I guess, because essentially "Christianity" is following Christ in one way or another. I haven't seen anyone argue with that.
I don't feel the need to identify as something other than "Christian" because I know what I believe and being under the same umbrella as, say, those responsible for the Crusades isn't much of a threat because I know I'm not like that, and people I discuss my faith with know I am not like that. I'm not aligning myself with them automatically because there are so many Christians on the planet that nobody (well, nobody smart) can possibly believe that they are all exactly the same. "Christian" is the simplest way of describing myself and I'm just comfortable with it.
In regards to Church, I don't know that I'm right. I treat my Christianity as more of a faith than a religion. Religion is something that you do routinely, like brushing your teeth, whereas faith is kinda just there in your heart (WOW CORNY whatever). I think worshipping in a church is a personal decision. I just never thought it was necessary. If God is omniscient and omnipotent, what's the point? Churchgoers aren't wrong, and neither am I. It's a personal decision. I hope that answers your question.

Yeah thanks for answering honestly. I can see where you're coming from but I still don't think I entirely "get it". That's not to say I don't get you but I'm still unsure about the Christian label and Christianity as a whole.

But everything you said about your personal faith makes a lot of sense.
