Were you born into a religion, call yourself a ... but don't follow it's teachings? [Spirituality & Religion]

Do you follow its teachings fully or are you a half hearted Christian?@Budwick

@JovialPlutonian Jesus and I are on good terms.

@Budwick but do you follow the teachings of Christianity?

@JovialPlutonian Why is it important to me - for you to know?

@Budwick because it's important to me that ppl are honest with themselves. Half the battle we have on this planet is that ppl continue to lie to themselves. Religion is a prime example.

OK, but why is it important to [b][i][u][big]me [/big][/u][/i][/b]- for you to know?

@Budwick oh sorry. Education, perhaps.

Are you gonna tech me stuff like the crap you fed to others on this thread? I'll pass Pluto.

@Budwick so Christianity states against homosexuality and has changed its stance on this to fit with societies values. How is this not a perfect example of the inconsistencies of Christianity? You can fool yourself all you wish. I am merely presenting this truth that is observable for those that chose not to ignore it.

@Budwick I have no issue with the believe and following of God's teachings. My only issue is with the churches alterations of it for their own benefit.

Some churches have changed their POV on such topics. IMO those are good churches to avoid, for the reasons you've implied.

Christianity has not changed.

Your self proclaimed piety is noted.

Believe what you wish as that's precisely what you will do@Budwick

@JovialPlutonian Back at ya Sparky!
