Slick, my question for you would be - you say you believe in God, but do you believe in Christ and all he stands for? If so, you can classify yourself as a Christian - no further explanations necessary. If not then I don't know what to classify you as. Maybe just a good person trying to live a decent, moral life? And what's wrong with that?

I don't have time right now to get into my whole background and what I believe, but it's real similar to Slick. Like someone mentioned about their Catholic mother, I think a lot of so called "religious" people are really hypocrits (sp?) and I don't want to be that way. I may not go to church on a regular basis, but I do pray and I try to leave a decent - basically moral - life. I was raised Catholic, but there is so much about it that I don't agree with and can't live by - but those are arguments for another day - so I, like Slick, really don't know what you'd classify me as. I guess I believe in Christ so the easy out would be to call myself Christian.

Anyway, great thread and I really wish more of this type of discussion would go on world wide. It would really help people understand different cultures and religions and maybe we could all just get along a little better.
