In all my years of observing Christians I would say living a christian life basically involves being a giant hypocrite and just in general being miserable from trying to conform to a list of rules put forth by an imaginary deity that man was not meant to live by. People say the existence of God brings joy into their life, but in my experience it seems they just feel that there is one more entity that they are not pleasing or letting down. I think it's a big unnecessary hassle, but that's just me. Whatever floats your boat.

It is simply a higher standard of living. The things the world has to offer are not satisfying. Christianity is/should be a lifestyle. It is a relationship that will never fail you. At times it might stretch you to step out of your comfort zone. It isn't always easy and sometime uncomfortable...but it's worth it. It is fufilling past anything else. It's a love from a Father that is un-circumstancial...It is suppose to be an example of how Christ lived His life (although many do not do that accurately) but I'd say... in short its deciding to make standards, not that you try to live up to, but rather that you refuse to live below. It is having a daily and real relationship with God the Father...

It's great to live a Christian life! I have this sense of security and I know that there is always a higher power watching over me and taking care of me. It's easier to go with the flow of life and be able to trust God to guide me. It can be difficult at some times to resist sinning and going of track but it's always possible to get back on. I would definitely recommend becoming a Christian. It's a great experience that will change your life forever... for the better.

Wow!!! What a loaded question. I would say its just the same as living anyother life, with an added sense of awareness. In short, you are more conciouss of you actions as to weather what you are doing is right, fair, good, benificial...etc. Also, when you make a mistake (which everyone does christian, buddist, islamic, atheist etc...) you feel a sense of need to correct it. When I say that, not by any freaky self punishment or anything, but more like apologizing and making it right.

Greetings,
A lot of people join a church or some kind of group etc... This is not necessarily Christian. Although alot would argue that with me, in fact would even get angry. To be a Christian you have to believe in Jesus, believe the testimonies in the bible and above all fear the Lord, because until you do you will never gain divine wisdom. So you need to seek, knock and ask God and of course repent.

You have joy and peace in the presence of God that cannot be described unless you yourself choose to search him out. Though trials come he will never leave you nor forsake you even when you may act like a total prick. All he does is love and accept you for who you are and make you stranger in him through whatever junk is thrown at you by the World. In that way he changes your out look on life no matter how false or pessimistic it may have been. I hope this helps!

Hard. You live under constant scrutiny because the least little thing will send you to hell as far as most "christians" are concerned. Most I've ever met were some of the biggest hypocrites I've ever met, too.
Granted, this is just my experience and does NOT mean all Christians are this way. I've met many nice ones in my day, but none around where I live.

I live a Christian life and I wouldnt live any other way. To give examples, I live knowing that when I die I'll go to heaven and live in paradise for all eternity.. I know God is looking out for me and my well being. He helps me through hard times, and blesses me everyday with life, health and happiness.

Our relationships with others
