I just don't understand how people think they can call themselves christians just because they believe in God. It's sad to think so many people think they are saved just because they said a scripted prayer. They don't go to church, don't read their bibles (if they even own one), and don't live their lives to glorify God at all...Why do people think

Well, I would have to disagree with you to an extent Tom. some christianity has become corrupted, but not all of it. I've seen it from the outside. I spent the first 16 years of my life looking at it from the outside. Not all of it is what it seems. The outside resources are just as bias as the inside resources. Remember, there are no brute facts; all facts are interpreted within a context or philosophy of fact. But, I do understand where you are coming from. A lot of people are not living out what they say they believe..and they misrepresent christianity. I myself am even ashamed at the jokes I make or the way I act sometimes. I apologize if I myself have been a bad example to you. It's something we have to work at with the help of God's grace of course. The people I am talking about though are those who just claim to be christians but don't even understand what they are claiming. Think about this: People don't counterfeit pennies. =P

By the way, there are a lot of christians in Asia; you don't hear about them often because they are persecuted for their beliefs. You find that the christians over there are a lot more serious then many over here even. I am actually visiting an undisclosed location in east Asia this summer.

Just some things to think about. =D
