By calling themselves "believers" and the rest of us "atheists," they called me not a Christian. Christ is central to my life.
Who has called you an atheist? You are open about your faith in Christ and therefore that makes you a sister to other Christians. Anyone who would consider you an unbeliever is clearly confused.
What is sad to me is that I am not welcomed as a fellow believer.
I welcome you, Band, in fact I love to read anything you have to say about spirituality and religion in general, I hold your opinion in very high regard. I totally understand what you are saying about that relief felt when discovering that Christ and Science are not in contradiction. It's a breath of fresh air to know that I don't have to lean on blind faith, that the more I research the more my faith is strengthened. That's the opposite of what the Watchtower teaches you, they say that more secular education the more at risk one's faith becomes. The truth couldn't be more opposite.
