Is that a good reason? Didn't you also believe at one time in the easter bunny, the tooth fairy and santy clause? Didn't you used to wear diapers? Pick your nose? Don't you think it is possible that you don't have to wear footy-pajama's anymore because you've outgrown them mentally as well as physically? Grow up.
Cool - I'm a pile of vomit and I'm just going to lie here until I get devoured by dogs because that was the way I was brought up.If you never change your mind, why have one? ” Edward de Bono

Believe what you want to believe, but at least have a better basis for belief than "because Mommy and Daddy said so." That works fine when you're 8 years old and are told to keep your elbows off the table; it's a bit ridiculous to have that as your only (or even primary) reason for an entire belief system as an adult.
Finally someone who gets it. You are a christian because that was how you were brought up! That's been my point for a long time. If you were born in Iraq, then you probably would be Muslim because that's how you were brought up! Wonderful! You are the most honest fundy ever! Wow! There may be hope for you yet.
That is a horrible reason to believe almost anything. It's acceptable when you are 2-6, since your brain is developing, and you don't really have any sort of actual conception of life. However, it is a horrid reason to do something when you're old enough to post on a message board. Research the issue. If you want to be a Christian, fine, but at least give people reasons why you are so that they can be discussed. "My mommy said so and she'd never lie" belongs on the playground, and that is where it needs to stay.
That's fine sweety pie, but make sure you be nice about it, or Santa Claus will bring you a lump of coal.
When polls actually ask a follow up question to "Are you a Christian?" with "Why are you a Christian?" his answer is the most common. "Because I am" is high too.
That's how much effort they put into it.
Not fundie at all. And to all those mocking this person, knock if off. You're just as bigoted as the fundies themselves. He's just stating that he's a Christian. He's not bashing gays or denying evolution.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
