i know a lot of christians who don't know nearly as much as i do about the christian religion, and a few who don't know as much about the bible. i know very limited amounts of info about other religions, but still consider them as possible truths, what do u think?

I don't belong to a religion, but I am very spiritual. I meditate and connect with nature.

I started out that way keeping an open logical mind. There are so many diff religions,denominations and such. Problem was to me their was only one truth. One of those truths being that all were false. This was my way of approaching it at first.
After much searching, years of frustration and confusion I finally came to my conclusion. I was upset by the corruption and hypocrisy of everything I saw in all religions ,it seemed to be everywhere. but then one day I said a prayer and got the answer I had been so longing for. How I got the answer was not in words, not in anything tangible but in a feeling that went through my body that I could not deny. It was something that even my analytical mind cannot forget. I hope that everyone can come to the same conclusion I have,
Christ Jesus is lord.

funny you should ask. devout christians follow blindly, believe only what they are told and hide behind a made up word, "faith" when a preacher is confronted with a question he can not answer he will always say "you have to have faith" which translates to don't believe the facts in front of you, believe what I am telling you". the bible is a story book and some of the stories are stolen from other cultures. noah's ark was stolen and the flood was caused by a natural dam that burst flooding the area. there is proof that disputes alot of stories in the bible but billions choose to ignore it. BUT there is a fact that can not be ignored, we evolved from the primoreal ooze from single celled organisms, but why? we had no natural predators as we started out as 1 celled creatures. there was no reason to evole without devine programming. we were supposed to evolve. we are not here by accident. I will not follow men with traditions they call religion but will find my own answers and confirm them when I am dead, either way the truth will be known then and only then. the jews believe god told them it is a sin to eat meat and dairy combined, but he made the only combination of meat and dairy, cows! is it a sin to be a cow? they also won't eat pork, trible elders knew 100's of years ago that pork was dangerous (trichinosis) but if they came to the people and said, hey don't eat that, the people would not have responded. if you only have pigs and are hungry what would you do? instead they told the people that god said not to eat pigs. where in the bible does it say that? "partake of anything from the garden except the fruit of the tree of knowledge" I don't think pork grows on trees. I could go on for days, stick to the facts and decide for yourself, but live life and treat others the way you expect to be treated is my motto.

I am very interested in the theology of all religions, but I don't neccessarily believe everything. I love to read the bible and study, but hardly ever go to church. I conscider myself spiritual, not religous, but I could probably hold my own in a category of Double Jeopardy round religion questions.

"I am a deeply religious non-believer. This is a somewhat new kind of religion." -- Albert Einstein.
A religion with no belief that I share with the good man.

who cares about being religious? being religious doesnt make you more saved or better in Gods eyes than another. Beware of your pride and haughtiness. You sound like the pharisee in Luke 18.
