For Christians, I pose the questions: Why do you call yourself a Christian? What is a Christian to you and according to history?

it can't be denied christianity was forced on our people as other peoples around the world...it's unfortunate that some people don't take the time to explore and learn about their denomination and Christianity as a whole...i quite firmly believe that religion is only a formal way of praising God...if more people studied in depth they might find themselves strenghtened in their faiths or wanting another one that will give them that strength...i was baptized a catholic when i was younger, but i made the committment and was confirmed in my faith (an actual sacrament) last year...my parish makes it a requirement that youth study catholicism for a period of two years before they make the sacrament...a bit excessive to some people but it wasn't for me...im still learning and i will continue to learn...it's important for all of us to continue to be students of God...no matter what religion our religion...and let me leave u with a quote from a Vatican document: SEe yeah my grandfather is Catholic or whateva he **** no but the fact is just cuz u was forced into that not everyone believes in Religion some people rather take unot nature and stuff like that its crazy! "For we have in our hearts a law written by God. To obey it is the very dignity of the human person; according to it we will be judged." (Vatican II Documents: Gaudium et spes). follow your heart and the true judgement God gave you. period.
