[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Those who have prayed and felt a divine presence - that's great. [/b]It doesn't mean that Divinity = human child born of a virgin mother in a manger and later tried as a criminal, hung on a cross, killed, buried, rose again.

In other words, Divinity there may be.  We humans have dressed it up in all these myths.  Maybe Christianity is just one more set of myths, like Zeus or Isis or Mithra or Kronos, and so on....[/quote]

You clearly don't know what you're talking about.

It's not just "praying and feeling a presence", dude![/quote]

Okay, dude, if that's not it, let us know what "it" is then.  Otherwise, lay off the paternalism.[/quote]

We're talking about personal spiritual experience here. Are you honestly curious or you want to read my testimony to throw something back at me?

I don't thin you're the OP, anyway. OP came here all honest asking about personal experiences and I'm willing to share mine. Now, to have people poking and mocking me, I get that enough in real life. I don't need this from the pretend world of DCUM.[/quote]

Sorry, you got up in OP's face with "you clearly don't know what you're talking about" and exclamations.  If you want to contribute something, do it respectfully, otherwise, you'll get back in the spirit of what you contribute.  (i.e. being un-Christian will get you disrespectful responses).[/quote]

I'm the OP and I just want to clarify that I was not involved in this part of the discussion.  I'm still interested in responses.  I understand that some people have a sense of faith that Christianity is just the right way.  I respect that for you.  I'm just looking for something a little more historical, even if it is a lot of circumstantial pieces of info.   If you've questioned if Christianity is "real" and you've come to some conclusions, then I'd like to hear it.  As I said, I do respect those who have a sincere belief that isn't really attached to "evidence."  That's fine.  But, I'm assuming there have been curious, questioning people like me before who have needed more, and perhaps they came up with some points that I haven't.
