Did you open your mind to the experience of Christ, or was it all pew warming for you? Alot (probably close to an overwhelming majority) of people go to church because that is what mom and dad did, or their friends do, or somebody told them to do. There are alot of people who call themselves Christian (or ex-christian) by name only. And that is where it ends. Their Christianity started at 10:00am Sunday morning and ends when they get back into the car for the drive home.[b said:Quote[/b] (Mr.Bill @ Oct. 05 2004,11:15)]And isn't that convenient, since it doesn't make much sense at all. But listen, I know what it is you are referring to. I was a Lutheran for 15 years of my life. I also realized something, and you can never understand it until you open up your mind a bit.

[b said:Quote[/b] ]If you belive there is no God you are Athiest... I was certain God didnt exist. Why? Because I didnt want to beluve he existed, Its not possible to prove God doesnt exist just like its not possible to prove he does exist. you have to choose one.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]An atheist is one who disbeliefs or denies the exists of God or gods. There is no belief system attached.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]If you believe in a God or gods, you are a theist, if you don't, you are an atheist. These are mutually exclusive terms, you are one or the other. Islam and Christianity and JW's are all theist beleive systems. Budhism (the sects that do not believe in God or gods) and ralians (sp?) are atheist belief systems.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]I beleive you must choose your belief system, but atheism by itself is not a beleif system. You either are a theist or you are an atheist. And, nobody is born a theist.
It's not an on/off switch Byblos. It is possible to be open on some topics and closed on others. You are clearly closed on the topic of faith, but you don't have to be closed to be gaurded and secure.[b said:Quote[/b] (ByblosHex @ Oct. 05 2004,11:36)]Well its either opened to everything or Closed to everything is it?
Ill stick with Guarded and secure.

[b said:Quote[/b] ]I was certain God didnt exist because thats hwt I wanted to belive..... if it cannot possibly be proven either way, you just have to pick now dont you.
[b said:Quote[/b] ]I was athiest because I didnt belive God existed. No one can prove he didnt so they must just choose it because they want to.
