As a child I went to a Luthern Church for a while, but don’t remember much of it. My parents took me there. I went to a Baptist church because it was right across the street from our house(I don’t think Dad was too discriminating on denomination as long as it was Christian). Because of that, I got really religious for a couple years, but my parents had little to do with it. I actually became a fudementalist for a while, that is, until I started reading revelation a bit too much and got really depressed because I thought I was going to hell.
After that, I mellowed out a bit. I can’t remember when I stopped going to church. I still consider myself christian, but no longer feel that the bible is to be taken literally(at least much of it). tend to avoid groups and people that feel like they have to tell me what I’m doing wrong in that regard(Athiest and Religious). I also feel strongely that there’s special place in hell reserved for people like Fred Phelps and Jerry Farewell.
Dad went to an “Assembly of God” for a while, but has sinced stopped. I attended once or twice because a friend invited me, but I never got into it. He’d sometimes call me a pagan, but he’s stopped once I started correcting him by telling him just what “pagan” means. Other then that, he doesn’t bother me about it.
I used to call myself a “non-denomitional Protestant Christian” but eventually decided to drop that in favor of “Christian Heretic” due to my views on certain Theological issues. I’ve thought about atheism or agnostism, but just because I have issues with Christanity doesn’t mean I’m ready to believe there is no God.
Now if only I could find a “Christian Heretic” singles group, I’d be set.
