[quote=Anonymous]I have read about other religions in depth. I've read the Old Testament and I have many Jewish friends for whom I've made kosher meals. I've read the Quran cover to cover, and I've also read a fair bit about Islamic history. I've read about Buddhism. I've even read many of the apocryphal gospels (including Thomas, subject of a recent thread here).

At the end of the day, I'm still Christian. I think the Jesus of the gospels makes the most sense to me and actually falls right in line with my 21st century values about women, LGBT, and how to treat non-believers.

I'm not dogmatic about particular articles of faith, though, especially if it relates to later theology.

I also believe that nobody of faith should accept anything without questioning it.

I don't believe that non-Christians are going to hell. I think that God talks to different people in different ways at different times.

FWIW, both of my parents are extremely religious, also Christians, and they both taught me to think in these ways about religion.[/quote]
