i saw quite a few questions tossed at atheist and pagans and other religions in here i want to know why you think we do. i know the answer for myself. most non-christians have read the bible and then studied the world history and then studied the christian faith we find it invalid and unprovable at best. so if you think you are right then fine dont beleive us nonchristians just look at your history before you throw stones at us non believers.
i am a spiritual/pantheist

as of late, it seems like the world population has become dumber and not smarter as the *christian bible* states. the bible has many things wrong with it, intellectually and morally. christians assume you either accept thier Jesus as Lord and savior or you believe he isnt real. there is always a grey area where some people believe he existed, just not as the christians embellished him to be.

I agree with you. But it doesn't matter what we say they will say we are wrong. Just like the people that have posted on here that your comment about most non Christians have read the bible and studied history is wrong. How would they know?? They just don't want to believe it. just like if you tell them that you used to be a christian they will say No, you were never really a christian because if you ever really were it is not possible to turn from it. Now how do they know this too? They are just brainwashed and will believe whatever they want to no matter how much it flies in the face of logic.
We know the truth, I believe in God, I believe in Jesus and the teachings of Jesus. I really was a christian who was saved and baptized and attended church for many years. I have read the bible, I have studied history, other religions, and the history of Christianity. I am no longer what they would consider a christian, I do not believe in the bible, (when I did was before I read it and just listened to the church), or the Christian interpretation of many of the things in the bible, and I do not believe in the christian dogma.

OK.... your question and the answer you are looking for are not worded right..
By definition if you say that Christianity is not real and that god isn't real and that you don't believe in it.. then you are denying religion.. that's basic..
Your other statement that most non christians, athiests, agnostics, whatever HAVE read the bible and studied history is very erroneous.. Most of these people have NOT read the bible and don't know the History and that is why they are so ignorant and just bash christians. They can't argue something that they don't have a firm grasp of basic knowledge on..
Most in fact bash back based on 1 or 2 popularly known passages in the bible or from passages taken way out of context.
I don't throw stones usually unless it really ruffles my fir.. I find it the opposite.. Once non christians cant argue the point because it is beyond their comprehension they fly off the handle calling us religious fanatics etc.
Oh.. and here's a great website that you can research and learn about christians! www.withoutwalls.org

For it is written and said, "My people perish through the lack of knowledge." Being an unbeliever is a non Christian, so , "if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the grave, then you will be saved." To help those who wriggle like a worm trying to get off a hook it is good for you to know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is foolishness to those who are perishing, but the to those who believe it is the Gospel of Salvation. The most common excuses that wriggling worms give is that Adam was not the first man, what about the dinosaurs? the Bible is not true because it was written by man. I have answered these questions very simply in a web page the address is below, check it out.

I'm sorry to say that you are wrong. Most non-Christians have not ever read the Bible and studied the Christian faith. Most who actually study Christianity end up believing. There are those who leave because things don't go their way. Darwin etc. Being a non-Christian does mean that you deny Jesus as a savior. I'm not throwing stones, I'm just stating fact. So you have studied his story, it doesn't sound like it.

Thank you, I agree. It seems that SOME (note, people, I said some) Christians assume if you're not a Christian, you're an atheist or you're just trying to be difficult. I'm in a similar boat as you, I've read the bible, done my research, and just can not Christianity. Doesn't mean I don't believe in a higher power or want to be a good person, it just means after some research and soul-searching, I think Christianity is not for me.

The Christian faith is a mix up now but within it all the truth is there - if you believe the Bible then you will see that most so called Christian denominations are not following the doctrines in it but you still can find the true one. God always have one people and his truth is always one version not many versions. So if you really want to find truth you will seek it and you will find it if you ask God to help you.

We think you deny God and Jesus,, Because you don't want to seek the truth, and would rather live life without regard to consequences. Most of you are self righteous you claim, your own goodness, whenever the bible makes it clear that there is none God but one. As far as reading the bible, it does you no God if your going to read it with predjudice and look for ways to discredit it. If your not open to the truth, it will be hidden from you. I can never look at creation, and think somehow eveything just came together. Its easy for me to conceive a God, because it makes sense.

All Christians believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ. If you don't think that Jesus Christ a part of God or God embodied and fully divine, then you are not Christian.
No need to split hairs about doctrine on this one. The universal of Christianity is the divinity of Jesus Christ. Christians just have vaious doctrines as how the trinity fits together to form one God.

We believe in the Trinity of God.
That Jesus was Deity.
By Trinity I mean three persona in one being.
most others do not believe in Jesus as God.
We have faith in believing the above statements.
It is based on faith.
I don't throw stones at you.
You are free to believe or not believe anything you want.
I don't see my job as trying to convert anyone to my belief.
In the beginning yes, but not now.
I do not save anyone. I only believe.
As was said by the apostle Paul.
2 Tim 4:7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith;
