If there isn't something bigger to get to, why am I alive

if that's true, i might as well just die now since there isn't a point to life

as much as i like the idea that there's some big overarching purpose, it's never been something i've been able to fully buy myself into. i am crippled with jaded skepticism.

whether or not they were written to be open to interpretation or not, they were still written during a vastly different time. a lot of religious texts tend to be very symbolic though, specifically hindu and buddhist texts, so i don't see why the bible would be any different.

I look at the bible as more of a piece of art, though that might be a frowned upon conception of it. It is fallen man.

You dont really sound like a Christian, more like an Agnostic

Yeah, well I'm a Christian. Like I said, it's more personal for me than secondhand through man-at-the-time's writing on it.

Can you still call yourself a Christian if you dont believe in the Bible?

I think I adhere to the basic point of it, which is accepting Jesus Christ.

Without Christianity having ever existed, the holocaust and the Blitzkreig offensive probably never would have happened. That was less than a century ago, a historical blink of the eye.

Millions died because of Christianity less than a century ago

sonseray is trolling and he sparked a really dumb debate that shouldn't be taken seriously.

you can call yourself whatever you want. whether the church will accept you as a christian if you renounce the bible is a different story, but i think christianity is more about believing in jesus than believing in the bible.

this is what i believe in

Solipsism is idiotic lol . It's certainly possible, but stop and ask yourself how likely it is

Likely doesn't come into it. The notion escapes probability. And same with God.

Probability only deals in pragmatism. It rests itself on assumptions we make about everyday life.

You should care. Christianity is still responsible for a lot of deaths around the world, and holds society back. It's an anchor.

Its like saying "Im a Christian, but I dont believe in anything that a Christian is supposed to believe/trust." Then you're basically creating a whole new religion.
