    Re: Are American 'Christians' a bunch of posers?

    I hear that 97% of Americans believe in god...but only a small handfull go to church...most of them don't know much about Christianity or it's history...I laugh whenever I hear that America is a Christian god worshiping country...Most people just say they believe in jesus/god and thats it.... We live in a nation of Christian posers.

    About 40-50% of American Cristians fgo to church at least once a month, the most in any western nation. So no they are not posers lol

    It still doesn't matter...a majority of 'god believers' don't know much about Chrisitanity...it's pathetic.

    Yes. Half the time, I could care less what religion I am. The same is true for all of my friends, except a couple..Were a careless nationI go to a Private-Catholic School, so I do know alot about religion. But most of it, I find boring and worthless.

    Why do you go to a Catholic school if you find it pointless?

    A Christian poser? wtf. IMO it is not a matter of how many times you go to church, it is a matter or faith. Some people, like me, do not have time to go to church every Sunday. That does not mean they are posers, that means they do not have the time. I mean sure over the centuries we have gone less and less commited to our religion in our daily lives, but that does not mean we are posers.

    I'm not saying they are posers because they don't go to church, i'm just pointing that out...most people that claim they believe in god don't do anything when it comes to doing christian things..etc..

    If you mean like they do not celebrate Easter, Christmas, etc. then they are not Christians basically. If you are Christian, you should celebrate Christian holidays.

    IMO if you are going to follow a religion you should do it properly. Christians should go to church every sunday, Muslims should pray 5 times a day etc. I hate it when people say they are religious but really have no idea about their religion. They only really believe in god because they are told he is real when they are kids.

    Yeah, but Christians worship once a week, Muslims 35 times a week. I miss 1-2 prayers per day, though, a couple of times, 3 [​IMG]..but I always pray Asr, Mughrib, and Isha.

    Re: Are American 'Christians' a bunch of posers?

    I actually dont like people that are too into god, I dont believe in the bible(i hate atheists who never even read the bible though ), and that's not why.I do like the spiritual part of it, making people better people, but some people take it too seriously, like when you cant say anything to them without hearing about god, or they wont do anything wrong cuz they'll go to hell. You gotta find a balance of belief and obsession. So i like the more casual christian, not forcing beliefs on you, because we all know what happened the last time that happened.(manifest destiny,slavery)

    Re: Are American 'Christians' a bunch of posers?

    There's a difference in believing in God and being a Christian. I believe there is a God up there, but I don't believe his legacy is defined, recorded, or kept in the Bible. Some of it might be true, but I simply belive a God created us, and let us be. I don't buy Christian philosophies

If you havent read the bible, you dont know why. If your going to be atheist, at least have some reasoning behind it.
