Well, the difference between Christianity and religion is that religion has forced practices that control aspects of our lives. Christianity is more of a choice. However much you want to get out is how much you get.

I am a Christian. By being a Christian, am I religious, Yes. I have a relationship with God through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Master Protoman_exe Well, the difference between Christianity and religion is that religion has forced practices that control aspects of our lives. Christianity is more of a choice. However much you want to get out is how much you get. If you believe in Christ and do your best to live by His teachings (i.e. you're Christian), you follow practises that control aspects of your life. Yes, it's a choice, and yes, you get out of it what you put into it, but that doesn't mean it's not a religion.

There's some definitions of religion. I've bolded the things that are especially relevent and apply to all sects and denominations of Christianity.

heart Hi. Im a christian. I think that christianity in itself isn't a religion, its the type of christian that makes the difference, thefore thats the religion. For example, im a nazarine. The Nazarine is what separates me from the rest and controls a lot of things in my life. heart

Sinful, can we get along? All you've done since the day we've met is argue, and we're not even in the debate forum.
