Im a Christian and I go to a Church of Christ church here in Perth....honestly I can say that my life has never been better.
I grew up in a Baptist home..my dad was a pastor...I absolutely believed in God...but unfortunately my dad forced it down our throats...so we never enjoyed it.
Then I met met my husband who was COC...and I found the truth....without the pressure that I normally felt.
I studied with a friend of his and realised that I could not deny this truth. (please understand that this is my personal belief and i feel very strongly about it).
The church I go to is unbelievable! Its like having lots of extended family members.
Anyway...I understand that a lot of people do not believe in God and that is absolutely their choice....
I will say that many mainstream churches or denominations (i feel) have completely warped the appearance/idea/feel (cant think of the right word) of Christianity. They have made it into this complicated bag of rules and regulations (many of which are not even found anywhere in the Bible i might add) when it is far more simpler than that...
thats what i believe anyway....btw....i dont see it as being told what to believe....we always have the choice to say bull or not.....
thats my thoughts anyway....
(NB- This is entirely my thoughts....not Bible bashing ok guys!
)
) and my husband who was a baptised catholic but never attended church and myself now go to church every saturday night and my daughter has attended church nearly every week since being 3 weeks old (we were stuck in hospital ICU for the first 2 weeks)
