Christianity
I've used this journal mainly to post entries about random things that I've thought about in my life. I've tried to stay away from saying anything blatantly religious in my posts.. mainly because many people stop taking things seriously when religion (especially Christianity) is mentioned. But I'm gonna break my made up rule now... and see how this goes.
Anyway, if you didn't know already, I'm a Christian. I've pretty much been a "Christian" for as long as I remember. But yeah, the quotes are there for a reason. Anyway, most people who are "Christians" don't really think about why they are. Many people have been Christian all their life, so it's just tradition. It's rather sad. I was like that for most of my life. I just did the routine.. going to church and not listening, then having my own life during the week. But I wasn't really a Christian then, because I never thought about it. I didn't know what it meant to be a Christian. I didn't have my own reason for being a Christian. I didn't really want to be a Christian, I guess. But then.. I guess now I am a Christian. Although I've kinda strayed a little.. but that's all part of it. But yeah... there's no single reason why I'm a Christian. It's just a combination of multiple things that have happened in my life, I suppose. And now I want to be a Christian. But I really should be spending more time on it.. I haven't really thought much about Christianity in a while, and I've kinda forgotten about it. I guess I should wake up. Oh, and I was thinking about doubting. Doubting is good. Lots of the Christians I know are strong Christians because they have doubted. Because doubting leads to questions, and questions lead to trying to find answers. And that's how people learn. It's like any school subject.. people wondered how things worked and then they tried to figure it out and then they did! I guess it's like that with God.. except we can't find the answers all the time. But I guess when we have our doubts.. we learn more. And that's good. I need to do that too. Basically.. I need to actively become a Christian again.. because right now I'm kinda apathetic and lazy. And that's not good for anything. Apathy and laziness are terrible.. Um, I gotta go to class now, so I guess that's all.
