Should I pretend to be Christian right now because of where I live?

Why didn't I follow the way of Jesus and go to Bethel?

Along with my other topic dealing with my searching for my place in this town, I come across plenty of people who follow their parents, go to church, and vote for Bush and all that boring stuff. At Subway today, there was a large group of happy Christians ordering their food. One Christian guy asked the other Christian girl if she was going to Grace tonight. I looked away with disgust.

I wonder, what if I was deeply interested in what the Jehovah's Witnesses taught? What would my life be like right now? Would I be much happier?

Was I uninterested because of what I am? I was raised a JW, why didn't I stay one?

I don't think I could go along with any Christian way right now, even just to gain friends. Going through all that BS is too much of a chore. That sucks too because most of the hot chicks here are hardcore Christian.

Why pretend to be something you're not? If you're looking for socializing, why not look into some atheist groups? They've got their own "religion" of sorts. Any group you choose will be more meaningful if you subscribe to it's beliefs.

I guess I understand what you are saying! I was raised a JW and some times I wondered what would happen if..... I still a Christ like and have no desire to attend any churches.

I have tried but it a lot of work and well it just the same stuff! I do not believe in Trinity.

I do not have the energy to do all that stuff to be in a group, nor will I ever have energy to play the games!

But I am still not going to give of my faith in Christ ransom. It in the heart and not in a building full of like minded people.

Do not get me wrong it is okay to go and attend I just do not have the energy!

I find it interesting to ask WHY they believe the way they do, Why they chose a certain religion, or church.... So many believe simply because that's what they've always done.

One girl told me they joined the church they did, because it was next door to their house and they could walk and she was always late to everything. A doctor told me he joined the church he did because they had a great soft ball team.

No one has ever tried to convinve me to join their church, I have been invited to many and have gone to a few. It's not my "thing", but it's interesting.

I wouldn't and don't pretend to be Christian, cause I'm not. But I don't bash others for believing in what they do, and those I associate with, accept me for me.

Just be yourself, and be kind.

You shouldn't try to be something unless you really feel that you should be part of it. It will never work otherwise a forced choice will always make you unhappy. So as someone said why not look for girls that are in accordance with your thinking?

And here I thought you might have been personally threatened for having alternative beliefs. But I see you are still stuck on the "hot chick" question. Do you have any personal beliefs? Don't be like the society and define yourself by all the things you don't believe.

Is there anything else other than "hot chicks" that turns you on, that empassions you? Why go to college? What is your life-dream?

If that doesn't work for you, I am sure there is an "athiest hot chick" website or chatroom somewhere. Why don't you google it?

Tsunami you need to be true to yourself dude. If you're a free thinker and have no interest in organised religion, then the last thing you should be doing is hanging out with people who live by it. Say you did find a girl who you thought was amazing and fell in love with. Firstly there'd be immediate issues of honesty and integrity since you'd found her by "going undercover". How easy would it be to tell her way down the line that you'd been lying about your faith? Secondly what happens if you marry this girl and the situation requires you "live a lie" or have ongoing conflicts over religion? It's not worth it. It's a big wide world so look for a soul mate you can completely be yourself with. Jgnat may be right, try atheist singles http://www.secularsingles.com/

All the best

That sucks too because most of the hot chicks here are hardcore Christian.I wondered how you know this for sure???? I USED to say I was a Christian when I was a JW.But I was no where near one.... Talk is cheap!!! the Christians in Ireland are fighting agaainst each other Catholic Christians against Protestant Christians!!!! ( just to give an example ) I dont care WHO says they are Christians, It isnt the talk it is the walk that infers a Christian IN MY HUMBLE OPINION..
Sounds to me your looking for "chicks" well this MOTHER HEN!!! is telling you to get to gether with others that feel as you do .I know many Atheists ---who though they have no Heavenly Father ( as I feel I have) are really nice folk....You might find a "chick" with them....
Good luck mate
