1. Do you believe only because you were taught to?
2. Do you strive to agree with other Christians about everything?
3. Have you ever questioned your beliefs?
4. Are you satisfied with your mass produced religion and angered by philosophic, well-thought out Christians/theists?

At least some of you are willing to admit that you've never questioned your beliefs to see if they're right or not.

Yes and No
In the beginning I was, being taught and following others but fortunately my family also taught me the value of independant thought and questioning. I am always debating with other christians and often find myself on the fringes (not always naturally) but I love to make others think. Sometimes I still question my beliefs as I feel in this day and age of moral decay and apathy it is important to have a solid and thorough understanding of why you believe rather than just repeting by rote. I strongly recommend anyone proclaiming to be a christian to always be challenging their own beliefs.

I believe because I had my own personal experience with God later in life. I was not raised in a Christian home.
I strive to know the truth of God, whether that agress with the man sitting next to me at any given time is out of my control.
We as humans question our beliefs constantly.
I love the masses that Christ has saved, its a true testament to God's love and work in this world. Without well thought out theology and philosophy, our faiths arent very well thought out. Some of them are bogus but some are very valuable. you have to sift to find the truth and strengthen yourself against falsehood. That is the only way you grow as a believer.

Well I do consider myself a McChristian, but it's because I hold soapbox sermons in the back of my local Big Mac Supper Club every Sunday Morning.

If being Christian paid minimum wage, I'd pretend to convert! They do offer free pizza, but it doesn't quite add up.
