[Black Dragon]

I would have to strongly disagree. To be a Christian you must completely believe in Jesus Christ and everything he said. Creation by one true God (as told in the Bible) was not done through evolution. Therefore, anybody who says they are Christian and believe evolution are hypocrites. It is one or the other or a blend in between which is it's own unique religion. There are so many different religions it is unfair that so many call themselves something which they are not. To me there is only one type of Christianity, the others are different religions no matter how similar they may be.

Sorry if that was preachy but I believe what I said is logical and true. And I'll get back to you on the PM eventually... but I'm a busy guy.

Alright, I'll respond to this. My religion itself is quite peculiar. I have indeed blended three religions into one, however it is not unique as there are others I know of that have blended these same three together. I practice a bit of Christianity (the blief of God and His son, Jesus Christ), Shamanism (The belief in animal spirits), and Peganism (the respect of Nature). Call me a hypocrite if you must, but this is what I believe in. My parents have told me to take from religion only what I wish, and this is what I have taken. I do believe in evolution, but I believe that God put the first life upon Earth. I believe in Jesus. But I also believe that nature should be respected and left as it is. Add to that, I believe that some of us contain the spirit of their pastlives (yes, I believe in reincarnation as well). My spirit was originally that of a dragon (Now my takes on the dragon {Hoh Boy...} is not that they were living, breathing creatures that ran around mediveval villages eating virgins and such. Nah, if you look at what the symbol of the dragon is, it represents a spirit. Whether it be good or evil, a dragon was the representation of some kind of spiritual body in China, Wales, etc., and that's what I believe they are. I personally do not think that they ever existend in the physical world. I have had past lives long ago as the wolf. And I blieve that my most recent two were as a human. *Shrugs*
Call me crazy... sometimes I wonder that myself. But this religion makes sense to me although to others it most likely does not.
