It is absolutely great to be a Christian. Does it not say in the bible that the church will be persecuted? The world will make you think you are a fool and pressure you to change your path from that which God has planned for you. Stay strong and be as good of a Christian as you can. Don't let people sway you. Study your bible and build your relationship with God so that you can defend the attacks and maybe even change peoples' minds. You should never ask that. God bless you. :)

Dear, people confuse religious beliefs with scientific ones, and try to push their views on each other. Christianity has a great history, with a few mistakes, but has done SO much good.
So has science.
One is a belief system for those things that science can't test. The other is a scientific system for testing things that can be repeatedly experience.
The people who "bag" you think you and others owe them to see things their way. They have the right to do so, as they have free speech. SO DO YOU! Be strong, know that in the United States you will be constantly tested, and that keeping your faith is a very good indicator of your ethics and personal value. It could also be shown by how you change your faith, or choose not to follow your faith, after YOU have sufficient evidence to decide to do so, NOT after you have been "bagged" sufficiently. Don't give in. Choose, and enjoy it.
It's what makes the U.S.A. great! Be strong and decisive.

I'm a pretty rough critic of Christians. But, yes, it is perfectly ok to be a Christian. Many of the so called Christian beliefs are often considered either retarded or rude. But, basically all religions have that. It doesn't matter what group you belong too, or even if you don't belong to a group. You'll still get bagged.

If you need validation then you are not a true believer. I am not Christian but I know your religion warns that Christians will be "bagged" a lot during Armageddon and reading all the hatred of Christians by the atheists on this site I would be worried if I actually believed in the bible.

It is definitely ok to be a Christian. Part of being a Christian means that you will receive criticisms because you are. Why would you need to validate your beliefs? Accept it. No matter what color, race, religion, size, sexual preference, etc, you are going to have some ignorant people that are going to take every chance they can to challenge it. Don't worry about it. Do you really think that I care that other people like that I am a Christian? No. The only one I care about caring about my religion (read slowly, it does make sense) is Christ himself. He is the one that matters, not people.

Well if you want to be trendy, put on a strap-on and plug another fags butthole repeatedly. Oherwise if you try to help them stay a righteous path, they will indeed bag you trying to claim that you are "forcing" them and that they have some right to do whatever but they are short-sighted to not realize that God gave them the choice and they are going to pay the price.
These are the same people that deny all responsibility for any wrongdoing. Ever. Like God isn't going to know, you simple fucks.....

That depends. If you are a true Christian and follow Christ and his example by helping others and being kind to all, then yes, it is ok. If you are a Christian who uses your religion to hurt others, like some do, and push your beliefs on others, then no, it is not ok.

I am non religious, and I say of course it is okay for you to be a Christian. World is just at a time right now where we all just need to learn to get along and leave each other alone, and I think we all get grief for our side no matter where we stand.

You can believe whatever the **** you want and worship whatever sky fairy tickles your fancy, the important part is that you want to believe it and fully understand what you believe, so you don't make an ass out of yourself. If you do that, and don't try to encroach your beliefs on people that don't want to hear about it, then you could be a bloody scientologist for all I care and I wouldn't feel any different.

If you are forcing YOUR beliefs on other people (Which most so called Christians do when they join the Army of Christ) then they have every right to state there own opinion.
