| I always defined Christianity not as a religion but a type of religion. Being christian makes you a believer in Christ, then it breaks down into religions. For instance, Catholics, Baptists and Jehova's Witnesses would be considered Christians because of their belief in Christ and his teachings. Alot of religions would have to fall under Christianity, for instance even those paths of teaching that boast the worship of Satan/Devil would be considered a form of Christianity. Because as radical or "wrong" it may be Satanists or the like would have to belive in a Christ to consider themselves Anti-Christ or Anti-God so to speak.
But we all have our own beliefs, I'm skeptical of all of them. I myself am a Roman Catholic who believes the church has contradicted themselves through their teachings and habits (i.e "Thou Shall Not Worhip Any Idols", yet we have patrons praying to statues of saints). I'm fascinated by all religions.
Don't flame me for what I'm writing its just something I believe and I hope someone shares this way of thinking with me. |
