Are You Religious?
Speaking wrongly imprisoned -- how in the heck did they leave that guy in a cell for FIVE DAYS with no food or water??

GEEZ.

Anyways, I tend to be coy about what I actually believe because people get "careful" if they think they might offend you. However, this crowd seems to be the "whatever"-type, so I can probably tell you. Also, I don't offend easily.

Technically, I'm a protestant Christian. I regularly attend a medium-sized church which happens to be associated with the Assemblies of God. According to them, the A of G isn't a denomination, so the church doesn't belong to A of G -- but that's just semantics. It's a pretty typical A of G church from what I know about them.

That is not to say this would be my first choice. I judge churches based on what they teach, and how they treat people. This one's pretty good and meets my family's needs -- and it's close to home! Smiley

As I mentioned somewhere else, I've attended many, many different denominations. I was baptized by sprinkling as an adult in a United Methodist church; I also was a certified "lay speaker" in that church for one year. They all have good and bad, and they're all made up of people, which makes them flawed.

If you want to talk about the more "ecstatic" parts of the faith -- feel free to ask. I can relate what I know and what I believe, but you may not be interested so I won't digress.

I think the real key to whether you decide there is a God or not is to decide if you need a God or not. Frankly, I can barely handle existing WITH a benevolent God and a human Saviour. I cannot imagine my despair if I did not believe. That's part of why I, personally, will never be an atheist. I certainly have doubts, but I would never have enough FAITH to be SURE there was no God.
