Religious Backgrounds
Submitted by Chrome47 on September 6, 2006 - 5:47am.
After reading the GTD 'cult' thread, I thought I'd ask what kind of religious or philosophical backgrounds everyone comes from. It may be too sensitive a topic (just like at parties, you shouldn't talk about religion or politics), but it'd be interesting to see where people are coming from. Obviously some see a Buddhist influence in GTD, and others may see something else? Or others (like myself) come from a different background and wouldn't know the difference.
Again, I know it's a pretty big can of worms, but I think the people around here are thoughtful enough to take everything in stride. There are quite a few thinkers here.

Christian, that's all, nothing else
I also am a Christian. I am a member at a church of Christ church in Alabama, but do not like/agree with the concept of denominations. I think that Jesus would be ashamed that we bicker and fight over the particularities of religion, and not bask in His glory. There are many doctrines in church of Christ that I do not subscribe to, but that does not alter my walk with the Lord.
I was raised Catholic, but left that when my girlfriend (now wife) was asking me questions that I could not answer. Catholicism teaches you what you need to know, it does not teach you why you need to know it. So I left.
