I'm christian, and I believe in Christ and god like many other people. But what annoys me are christians who go overboard. They are those Christians who take it to the extreme about christianity. They have restrictions on about everything from television to diets. I know a christian like that who won't let her kids do things like watch some things on TV or go to public school because she says it is full of sin. like her kids can't watch pokemon because she says that pikachu is demonic, or read fairy tales because she says that the creatures in the book aren't god's creatures. I think that these restrictions are stupid, and unessary. She has these restrictions because she says they interfer with her faith, but I believe that if you have faith nothing can stop you from the relationship between you and god.And when you let things like pokemon and fairy tales bother you have weak faith.


be YOU, because you can't become someone else

Oh wow. 1: I wasn't talking about your faith or lack of. 2: I also didn't say you said people were born Christian. It was just a comment in passing, a comment that shouldn't be responded to. 3: Ya know who you remind me of?

That being said...reiki at a distance is...

Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen


This (reiki) is the healing I know, that I do even if I'm not Christian, something you, Jamaica, cannot seem to grasp. And no, it's not only about symbols, it's everything you wish you could do, but don't have the heart to ever achieve.

Faith is so very broad. Even if you DO NOT believe in a religion, or are a religion, DOES NOT mean you do not have faith or aren't spiritual...

Yes, most Christians are like that... but i try to resolve it by doing what is good and right and avoiding evil....However, just like Bella, you are a coward because even though religions have their own problems, you easily back down and drive you out of religion. Religion teaches us to be patient, that if you teach and share to others what is good and right, they will come to realize the lives they have been living and thats when people who are enlightened will "return" to their faith.


How can you actually believe YOU will inspire anyone in Christianity when all you do is judge people?

I feel bad for people that have only known the extreme type of Christians. Quite honestly it's embarassing, and no wonder some people think they're all a bunch of freaks . . .

I totally agree w/ Pixie. How boring life would be if there were so many exaggerations of the Bible's restrictions that I had to live with!

Nearly all the Christians I've met are like that.
