Whatever they are-- this is not aimed at just christians. It is perfectly ok if you say you don't live that way. I want to know that too.
Many of the atheists on the board LOVE our hate mail sent by christians and please don't stop--but this isn't aimed at you guys.
If you consider yourself STRONG in your RELIGION (more so than spiritalist who have created their own "doctrine"--you really need a "religion" to answer this)--do you find yourself thinking before you type "does this best reflect my religious belief that I am proclaiming"
If you consider yourself STRONG in your RELIGION and do not feel you give a favorable impression to others of your religion, why not?

what I tend to do ( especially on these boards )
is read what I have written twice
to make sure my words portray who I am and are said with respect to others
I also do this with words , i think before i speak now
I used to speak without thinking and i feel that is quite dangerous to do
so yes I try to reflect my beliefs in my words and actions to others

I am new in my pagan path and I did fight it for years because of the way I was raised. I'm not sure if I give a favorable impression to others who believe the same or simular as I do but what I do know is that I am happier with myself more than I have ever been in my life before and to me that's what counts.

I even have long handed by using great conflict and doubt over the years and adjusted religions many situations. yet I additionally see that as a sturdy element. How are people to evolve if we don't question? that's been a protracted and puzzling journey for me individually, yet i'm extremely joyful with the place i'm now. I proceed to income and strengthen, and that i desire that sometime absolutely everyone will question their ideals, as properly through fact the ideals of people who carry capability of their church homes and religions so as that we'd all prosper.

I try so hard to love and be an example to others but, I fail many times. Like Paul, it is a constant battle.
The more I listen to God's Holy Spirit inside of me the better I do. I thank Him for His Spirit to help me as I strive to be like Jesus.

Sometimes, does that count? :)
I have been known to delete one my own answers if, after reflection, I feel it might be misleading or give the wrong idea or impression.
I do TRY to see that my answer encompasses my belief system, but am I always faithful to "treating people tenderly"...
nah - sometimes I just call 'em like I see 'em.

I try my best but I have small faults once in a while. I get anger at things I shouldn't have. Hatred is no good.

I try to live how God would want me to but I fail everyday. I ask him daily to forgive me and only by his grace I live.
