What does it make someone to be a Christian? What is your understanding about the faith?
Many people have criticism's about the Christian faith but do you understand what a true Christian really is?

I am a Christian. I just want to get your own ideas.

Colossians 3: 12-14
Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also [do] ye. And above all these things [put on] charity, which is the bond of perfectness.

Why has he not done in the first place, he is supposed to be all powerful in doing that?

Why this trial and error of creation is there? He certainly must have enough foresight and knowledge about whats going to be the outcome of his creation then why this exercize of creation and then another creation of perfect world?

Why should he be wasting his time monitering activities of killers, rapists, drug peddlers and users, child molesters? why should he create them in the first place?

Slightly off-topic, I know, but with the death of Robert Jordan on Sunday, and of David Gemmel just over a year ago, I found myself pondering just how much authors of fiction have shaped my moral and ethical framework. I often refer to the commandment "Judge not, lest ye be judged" from the bible, for example, but really, my belief in not judging was really much more strongly informed by the often ambiguous characters David Gemmel created for his stories.

So the question (FINALLY!) is:

How has your own moral framework evolved? If religious, is it entirely determined by that, and if not, what then are the main influences? Literature? Philosophy? Tradition? Comic-Books?! And perhaps more importantly, do you accept or reject a moral framework as a whole, or do you tend to pick-and-choose what you believe?
