Ok, I have my thoughts about what Christians believe from having once been a Christian and having listened to many Christians speak and write about what they believe.So, out of curiosity of whether or not Christians all share the same beliefs, what do you believe?Be honest.
On these issues:
1.Evolution
2.Homosexuality
3.Other beliefs
4.Atheist politicians
5.Atheism
6.Gender identity (sex changes)
7.Morality
8.Humanity
9.Global warming (man made)
10.Freedom of choice (not just on abortion but on any issue where personal freedom is a question of choice)
I ask this because I have seen a lot of opinions being posted and so now I want to see all the opinions answered together.

Evolution... No science to back it up. There wasn't enough time for the small rodent like mammals left after the last extinguishing event to bring them to the size and variety of the mammals the roamed the earth during the last major ice age.
Homosexuality... Christians thrust the word of God and this lifestyle is condemned there.
Other beliefs.. There is only one name under heaven where man must be saved.. Jesus Christ.
Atheist politicians.. Tell the the Good news like any other person.
Gender identity: See homosexuality
Morality.. Is that what all these other subject address?
Humanity: Lost and fallen because of sin. The being Christ died to free from death and hell.
Global warming... I saw a program in the science channel over the last weekend that said the sun is in a warming cycle and the whole solar System in warming.. How they know that I have no idea. I have heard differing opinions from different scientist, Some say it's the USA fault, some say all of mankind. Some say it's to late to stop others say if CO2 stops it will subside.. Lets talk about something that has some authority behind it..
Freedom of choice.. I am for it as long as that liberty is not used to harm anybody else... Jim

Christians believe that Evolution is fals. God Created the Heavens and the Earth in 6 days and rested on the 7th. Thus, Christians go to Church on sundays instead of working. Except 7th day churches, where the people go to church on Saturdays.
Homosexuality is suppose to wrong because God created man and woman to be together.
Other beliefs are suppose to be wrong NO MATTER WHAT.
Even Christian churches that believe in VAST differences are WRONG NO MATTER WHAT. This is the Christian additude. Because Salvation is only through Jesus Christ.
Athiest Politicians, not sure what you mean. Alot of Christains like to use politics to push their beliefs on others. Like keeping same sex marrages illeagle by voting against it and different things. Athiesm, INSANE. God created the Heavens and the Earth. To a Christain, Athiest and anyone who is not a Christian is going to burn in Hell fire forever.
Sex changes, Wrong just like homosexuality is wrong. However, I have no idea weather or not a person can repent and be forgiven for having had a sex change because it's not reversable. But neither is murder. So, I suppose God could forgive it depending on what church you go to. Most Christians believe that Suicide cannot be forgiven but Murder Can be forgiven. Except Mormons who believe that suicide is forgiven and murder is not. Morality? Everyone should strive to live a moral life. But with out the blood of Christ, no amount of goodness will get you into heaven. Global warming, most Christians seem to believe that the enviroment isn't important because Jesus is comming back to take them to heaven or to renew the earth or both. Humanity? Don't know what you mean. Freedom of choice, Abortion is MURDER.
What religion are you?

I'm pretty religious up to a point. and to the people saying that god created evolution read your bible it all started with adam and eve according to that, and you're just trying to lie to yourself and give yourself the feeling that your religion is never wrong.
1. Is not nearly as much of a fairytale as creationalism or the adam and eve thing, at least evolution is logical and the theory has been proven in several different ways. stop lieing to your self. and to the person who said science proved the earth was flat, science proved the earth was flat because the church was basically what science was back then the church even believed the sun revolved around us and the earth was the center of everything. (although people did know the earth was round for an extremely long time, it's easy to tell just look at the moon during a lunar eclipse go go astronomy even still the church proclaimed the earth was flat)
2. Be who you want to be you only get one chance on earth why force yourself to be something you're not(although i do believe sexuality is based on influences in your life when you're young )
3. I believe in the stories and the morals the bible brings to me, I don't believe in some of the silly rules the higher ups in christianity have created
4. I'd vote for them if they share my views, who cares what they are that should have no bearing on my views
5. Believe what you want to believe in and what makes sense to you, you have a choice in life why not exercise it
6. Again be who you want to be it's your life
7. I believe morality is very important and to follow your conscience and do what you believe is right
8. Humanity has the ability to do so much why pigeonhole yourself into one thing
9. Live your life don't be so afraid of global warming. although you can't live carelessly cause the earth is precious it's important to search for alternative energy methods(which we're doing i just hope it doesnt' take that long)
10. you have free will for a reason make your choices but follow your conscience. and on abortion i feel it's ok in the first trimester, a fetus doesn't have the potential to reach life on it's own it needs the mother and it can't feel pain cause it's nerves aren't formed yet. but you can't use abortion as a form of birthcontrol that's just ridiculous, I think it's important to make everyone aware of birth control methods especially condoms cause everyone has hormones and it's important to protect yourself.

1.Evolution- Did not happen to make humans.
2.Homosexuality- It is wrong.
3.Other beliefs- OK?
4.Atheist politicians- Fine, but dont push your beliefs on me.
5.Atheism- Kill yourself, there is no point to life.
6.Gender identity (sex changes)- F'd up.
7.Morality- proves God exists
8.Humanity-What you use to explain your beliefs.
9.Global warming (man made)-Sure, why not. It could happen.
10.Freedom of choice (not just on abortion but on any issue where personal freedom is a question of choice)- You just think you deserve everything, so of course, why not. Freedom of choice is good, but to an extent. all you want is anarchy and nobody to tell you what to do so you dont have to be accountable for anything.

1. Science has always been changing. It was proven that the world was flat years ago. They knew it. Well, turns out its not. I believe in the future we will realize that evolution (NOT natural selection) was an idea that started from a constant drive to discover our purpose and life, and states that our only purpose is to live and repopulate, then die. Sounds hopeful.
2. Wrong, but I'm not about to slam gay people.
3. Free to do just as much as I do with my faith.
4. I am just as fearful of that as I am of a theocracy. A nation ruled by religion is dangerous. We've seen examples in history in both Catholicism and Atheism. However, a nation founded on the LOVE of Christ will not fall.
5. I don't control free will. I just do my best to be real with Atheists, and love them. I can't prove God, so I live as an example of him.
6. To be honest, it disgusts me, as it does many other people. I wouldn't vote in favor of it.
7. My morals are unchanging and are set in the Bible.
8. Humanity was made to glorify God and love him. We are called to live in paradise with him forever. Joy and peace are his desires for us. I believe that we are not animals that only serve a purpose to live and die. I believe there is everlasting hope beyond this world. I believe there is freedom in bondage and there is peace in times of struggle.
9. Not sure, don't know much about that topic.
10. Freedom of choice is not necessary when there are 46 million unborn children dead in the past 30 years. One percent of women who desire an abortion are rape victims or have health dangers. Those few should have a choice.
A "mistake" is a poor reason to kill a child.

It's interesting, reading the answers here, how many people seem to think that gender identity(and 'sex change', since that's the aspect of it you referred to) is synonymous with homosexuality.
It's not of course; gender identity is not connected to sexual orientation.
