I am a Christian and I'm proud to say it, but so many media people and others are trying to guilt me out of my beliefs, which certainly will never happen. But society is changing so much that its like its ok to thank God, but dont mention Jesus... whats going on????

If we stop mentioning Jesus, Satan will win- I will never stop speaking of the ONLY ONE that can save this world. God is ok to mention when it refers to any god, (which by the way there are no other gods) . Satan knows that Christ is the victor, so he is going to try anything to silence the name of Jesus- but like Paul and Peter in the bible- NOTHING WILL KEEP ME FROM SPEAKING OF HIM-

An answer from a Christian to a Christian-
When a person becomes Christian, they notice what a huge difference there is between what God has said, and what men say. This has always been the case, and it will not change while this Earth is around.
The differences are pointed out in the scriptures. One such place is Psalm 1.
Guilt is laid, ridicule, in some places there is persecution. What takes many Christians out is the seduction the culture hits the believers with...a seduction to believe what you want, but don't really live by the beliefs. It is prevalent, and is one reason why so many of the churches have gone liberal in their theology.
Remember we are called to be holy, which means set apart, apart FROM the world and its ways, and apart TO God and His ways and will.
Take care what you hear and see. There are many frauds out there with twisted theology.
Use an open mind with a discerning heart, and take the example the Bereans set- they searched the scriptures daily to see if what they heard was true or not.

Learn about the history of Christianity. The good and the bad. Then learn about other religions, including Buddhism. You'll find that Christianity is one of the most violent religions in mankind's history. Buddhism is the most peaceful. You'll also want to see if you believe that Jesus really existed. The only evidence is in the bible. The only contemporary account is from Josephus, even though it was written years after Jesus was supposed to have died.
Then you can try to exam whether God exists. If you can prove that he does, then don't waste your time following any of the Abrahamic religions.

Nothing. Now, people think about the "Big bang" and evolution when asked about human life, but the true answer is with God our father in heaven. AMEN.

It's fine for you to be a Christian. Just show the same respect for everyone else that you expect them to show you, and nobody will take issue with it. It all boils down to "The Golden Rule," which is essentially "Karma."
Lead by example, and don't expect anything from others because they will most likely let you down. Worry about your family and yourself.

Well you believe in fairy tales and openly admit it. Yes, you should be ashamed of yourself. People have a right to make fun of you. Open stupidity invites public ridicule. It's called cause and effect.

It's because we are now living in educated times, where people don't much believe in fairy tales anymore. You're certainly welcome to entertain you own belief system as long as you don't think that "everyone else" has to believe the same as you.
