I am still so new at this computer lingo that I am just a little confused about what it is that you are trying to ask here so I am going to just guess at it, If I am way off I do apologize now okay?
So, Here we go.......
I think you are asking that since you want to live a God fearing clean life style, what are some other things that you could do for fun, since you can't party? Is that it?
Well, there are a lot of things you can do for fun without doing wild things, there are sort of places that young people who are just like you, that come together, I think what you can start by, getting on the Internet and finding some places that have bible classes in your local area, and then there is bible camps, and Christan get together type of things,If there is a will there is a way.
You don't have to be lonely to be a good person, there are really good people in your age group who want to live a good life as yourself do, you just have to ask around, I hope that you do find your place in this world, don't let anyone tell you what it is that you want to do with your life.........Good Luck

First Corinthians 6:12 (from the Bible): "Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is beneficial." Something that Christians have always struggled with is a tension between being too legalistic and having a bunch of rules, versus the fact that God paid for our sins so we are free to do whatever we want.
If you're a Christian, you won't go to hell if you drink and drive or use drugs or have sex outside of marriage. However, if God created us then surely He knows what is the best way to care for our bodies and our spirit. If I am obedient to Him and live by His commands, then I will discover that He really does know what He's talking about!
So the short answer is you can do anything you want that is fun. But you want to make wise decisions and not do stupid things or things that could endanger you. Christians can do anything fun that anyone else can do. Concerts, sports (either watching or participating), movies, television, sight seeing, camping, dancing, etc. If there's something you feel like you shouldn't do but are tempted to do anyway, ask a friend for help so you can quit. You should be the master of your own actions and know when to say No or Yes.

First off hon, if you're so upset about people's comments, maybe you should take a step back and look at how your question is written. I think you'd get a lot more positive and helpful answers if you formatted your questions in a way that's easy on the English reading eyes. I don't think most people are trying to be rude or mean about it, it's just that they can't understand you. Get it? Some people aren't as good about expressing themselves as others, apparently these people don't have good social skills to explain in a non-rude way that they can't understand you. I'm not trying to be mean in bringing this up, but I can't help but feel bad about the whole thing, because really, there is no excuse for typing like that. And it's seriouly poor habit, because someday when you get a job, you definitely can't type like that or you will get a boot in the buttocks!!! :)
Your grammar and writing style aside, I understand why you're confused, you went to a church sponsored event and had some killer fun. Then the pastor's all, "fun is evil, fun is the devil." So you're confused because you had fun at the Christian megafest, and you're considering the hypocrisy. Life is full of hypocrites. Don't let them get to you, Christian or non-Christian.
Your minister is right to some extent. A lot of things that people do at "parties" lead to bad things. Drugs, promiscuous sex, drinking, there's a lot of awful things that happen at these so-called "parties." However, not all parties are bad. You can have fun at a party, and party hardy without liquor, or marijuana or casual sex. You can party and respect yourself. Just because someone else is doing it, doesn't mean you have to do it too. Who's going to be cooler, you safe at home, or your drunk friend splattered all over the pavement because she thought she was good to drive home? Ya see... your minister doesn't want to see you make mistakes, because he loves all of you as children of God. That's how life works, we all love each other and look out for each other. Your parents, friends, and neighbors don't want to see you mess up your life. They want you to be happy, successful and proud. Partying doesn't have to mean being an idiot. Partying can include games, music, trips, volunteering, and barbecuing.
You don't have to give up fun, you saw for yourself how much fun megafest was. You didn't need alcohol or drugs to have a good time, right? You had fun as you are, sharing what you as a person have to offer your friends. That's what life should be about. Life should be one big party. :) I hope you enjoy yours!

Which is more exciting to say when y ou are around your friends? Man that party I went to were every one was drunk or whatever was going on was so awesome...or I just got back from a mission trip in India, Costa Rica, etc. No one said you can't have fun as a Christian, but maybe what you need to do is sit down and look at what it is you define as fun, and ask yourself is partying really fun. Why not be a Christian and go on an Adventure. Get involved in a mission trip or something even if it was a local mission trip.

By fun do you mean drinking and drugging? You can be a Christian and do these things. Christianity is being saved by the love and grace of God through Christ. It does not mean you have to live by a list of rules. God isn't a cosmic score-keeper who loves the "good" ones and punishes the "bad". But you will live better and be aware of God's love if you're not doing these things. Jesus was criticized by the pharisees for drinking and eating too freely and no, he wasn't drinking grape juice. God loves drug addicts and prostitutes as much as he loves evangelists and saints. We're not saved by our efforts, and it makes me sad when the churchy Christians look down on those who are struggling. But since God is within us by the Holy Spirit, we should try to keep the temple of our bodies clean. But it's far more important for Christians to love and help our fellow humans. See if you can get a copy of The Ragamuffin Gospel and see how Christianity has been hijacked away from its true meaning. And don't listen to what the Christian Right tells you. Good luck and God bless you.

forget those other answers
I have felt like that i went to megafest last year and it was fun for me also. Everyone makes mistakes and the good thing about God is that he will forgive you so just try to live life to the fullest . That doesn't mean you have to drink or do drugs . Just be yourself and do things that make you happy.You will know when something is wrong because as Christians we are knowledgeable of the things that are wrong ,so if you feel something isn't right then dont do it.

yeha sometimes I do and I'm 26. But that's just the evil one tryna tempt u. Believe me there is mucho fun to be had being a christian. U can hang with ur friends and go skating, bowling etc. have house fellowships sit around and play games, talk, etc. Go out to dinner, movies etc. Go see a christian comedian when someone is in ur town. Go to museums etc the list goes on and on. That's how I've entertained myself since I've been saved and it's soooo much better than what the world calls fun imo

LOL! Oh boy... the golden myth: You can't have fun if you're a Christian.
Tell me where your heart is and I'll lead you to your pleasures.
If my heart is void, I will seek any pleasure to saciate what I want. If my heart is full of the spirit, I will not seek pleasure any longer, but instead I will give off the love of God, and I will seek to please God, and no longer myself.
What will be fun for you will depend on what you LOVE... You can do normal things, and my suggestion is, if you like MUSIC, get involved in a worship ministry that can let you have fun.

You could learn to spell and stop eliminating all the letters. It makes your question hard to read.
But to seriously answer your question, you can just do normal things. Shopping, go to movies (not really bad ones, though...use discretion), hang out with your friends at the skate park, go biking, rollerblading, read a book, go fishing, water skiing, tubing, sledding in the winter, go to Six Flags or other amusement parks, go to the zoo...there's more to life than partying, my dear. Good luck! Get connected with your church youth group. They should have some fun stuff for you to do with groups of teens.
