You are free to believe what you want. You have the wrong idea about Christianity because all I have seen since becoming one is love. Everlasting life means this. Our body dies, but our spirit/soul lives on in heaven or burns and dies again in hell. You get everlasting life through belief on what Jesus did on the cross, that he was the son of God therefore without sin or evil and confession of sins.
Christians call it being saved. Once you are saved that doesn't mean you stop spinning. Humans are born into sin nature so it's impossible for us to completely stop. The difference being now we can recognize what is and isn't sin and we have tools to avoid temptation. It takes practice and spiritual growth but once you are saved you want to do good not for reward but because it is the right thing to do.
My final thoughts on this are as I said before. What you believe is your choice. No one controls free will. Your idea of eternity is darkness forever. Mine is if you accepted Jesus as your lord and Savior you are in heaven in eternal peace forever. If you reject Christ you are condemned to hell to pay for your sins. If I'm wrong, then nothing happens. If you're wrong you are in trouble.
Flawed logic. You say nothing happens if you're wrong, but what if some other religion is right instead? What if some isolated tribe got it right and we're all going to their version of hell?
You're right, eternity is a long time to be wrong. But why waste the only life that I'm guaranteed worrying about sin when the odds that I picked the "right" god are against me anyways? And please don't say the Bible is assurance you're right, the tribe could use their texts as "evidence" as well.
I know my religion is correct and I know my God is real not from the Bible alone but personal experience.
About 7 years ago I was suicidal. I will not go into detail but my health was so bad I was sick of suffering. I wanted the pain to end. One escape I did have was music. I was not the best player in the world but it helped me escape even though it aggravated my lung problem. Doctor after doctor told me to quit band. To stop doing the one thing that brought me joy in life. I wanted to end it then but was told about a specialist to talk to first. My last hope. I resolved to end it if I was told the same thing again.
I was a Christian at the time. I questioned my faith a lot but I still prayed. Not sure why seeing I really didn't believe at that time. I prayed every day he cure me. That I would wake up and be healed. It didn't happen. Long story short they ran some tests and got confused. I was sick, but my lungs were stronger than the average patient. With my symptoms I should have been dead. My first doctor was treating me wrong, I was given new medicine and it was a miracle. I had hope, I had my life back.
God has used music in my life to not just save me, but to serve others. Opportunities have just fallen into my lap from people who said they prayed about it and my name showed up. I see people light up when I play, hope I didn't have 7 years ago and God has made it possible for me to have hope and give it to others.
Plain and simple if God didn't exist either my crapped up health would of kill me or I would have killed myself. That's how I know God exists. I am alive because he lives. Believing in God is not wasting your life it's saving it.
That.... proves absolutely nothing. It's most likely coincidence, if not a lie. If prayer had any connection to unexpected recovery, then the simple mathematical results over the entire population would have said so long ago.
Science will unearth, later, whether it be ten years or a thousand, >precisely< why you recovered.
And I can guarantee it's not your imaginary friend in the sky.
No one knows the date or hour. It could be tomorrow it could be ten years from now. So it's wait and see I hope your are not caught unaware when that day comes
Christianity is the greatest evil known to mankind, look at how it influenced Hitler, why? Because Jesus verbally attacked the Jews and Arabs, therefore Christianity is anti-Semite and anti-Muslim. Love? Of all the trouble I got into at church the only tolerant sect with any love is Christian Science. Christianity in general is irrational and angry. All this is bullshit, here's a clue: take a lesson from Luciferianism, Lucifer the light-bearer. Christians are simply hating any cult or devil-based religion without any concept of its good. They hate Islam, I don't understand it, not all Islam is bad, my mother got used to it, but I can believe in any religion I want even if backwards individuals don't like it!
Is it normal to hate Jesus and Christianity?

I'm happy you think so Darkknight. Have a nice day.
That.... proves absolutely nothing. It's most likely coincidence, if not a lie. If prayer had any connection to unexpected recovery, then the simple mathematical results over the entire population would have said so long ago.

Eternity is a long time. Almost as long as we will all be waiting for the Rapture.
