how did you come to know and believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah?

What has your life been like since your conversion?

How do you think that I, as a Christian but not a Jew, should or could incorporate the Jewish religion into my own life?

Ok, so three questions. I'm looking for serious answers only please. Thank you in advance.

As with the Old Testament, we just don't know who wrote most of the New Testament. Tradition has assigned the Gospels and most of the Epistles to certain authors, all of whom were important figures in Jesus' life or the early days of the faith. It was important for the early church to believe the authors wrote the works attributed to them, since their eminence lent the writings authority. But since we don't have the original signatures, none can be verified except through textual clues.

Why do you think America (which has something like an 8% non-theist population – conservative estimate) is so behind in this trend compared to other European countries like England which I believe has something like 55% of its population which doesn’t believe in a higher power? It kind of makes me want to move to Europe so that I can raise my children without fear of manipulative bible thumpers (not that all Christians are manipulative bible thumpers – I really am not trying to offend people). I’m mostly looking for a Christian perspective on this issue, but all answers are welcome. :)

I was told Jesus got three gifts that is all anyone is allowed to bring my child at Christmas and all that she gets from us and that I was a bad parent for allowing my daughter to have whatever people give her. I do encourage her to serve others and we do regular communtiy service and give of ourselves to other - this friend is sure I am raising my daughter to be greedy

evangelicals wasting their time beating up on homosexuals instead of reaching out in love and tolerance as Christ taught us to do?

I have a feeling that the pastor told eveyone that the holy spirit took full control of her body and released her pains, just to make her not embarassed about peeing her pants. But now everyone is peeing their pants when they speak with the holy ghost. How do I tell people it makes me uncomfortable?

I full-heartedly believe in Him. He said 'ask and you shall receive.' How come I'm still suffering from the same problem? Anything in the bible I can read to help me make sense of this? Thanks.

Give me one actual reason to believe in god other than because the bible says so. Or because I have faith. An actual solid reason and not some bullshit.

Government joined with church because they knew that if people did not question their religon, they would not question their government. It was all for money which is supposed to be the root of all evil.

I used to be Christian but I didn't see much change in my life. I converted to Buddhism and I am seeing real results. I feel the Christianity just offers empty promises and Buddhism offers results. Christianity depends on a savior to somehow come and show you the the way. Buddhism teaches that no one will save you, only you can save yourself. Buddhism requires that you improve yourself rather than God improving you. I see it like a teacher giving an exam. If the teacher was to give the student all of the answers, would that really help the student? Or would it be better for the student to grow on his / her own and use his / her own mind. I feel that if there was a God, like the teacher, he would want to see us grow spiritually stronger on our own. Thats the way we truely grow, its called the school of hard knocks. I see Christianity as the teacher giving you all of the answers. You never really grow that way. What do you think of my analogy?

Why are there so many people that believe in God just because the people they were raised by do? If all logic and basic reasoning tells us he's not real, why do people waste their whole lives basing themselves around some mythical supernatural being?
