Except the world for what it is and use what works for you. With all due respect…did it ever occur to you that believing in religion or science is what works for those people? Meaning the morals, values, opinions, etc. that are tied to those ‘paths’? Personally, the morals of a Christian work for me. Am I strict about everything? Absolutely not. There are Christians who don’t allow TV’s in their homes, no pants on females, no jewelry, no secular music, etc. Do I believe that way? Absolutely not. Does the Bible say, “Do not do this” (regarding those things)? No. It’s a matter of interpretation. I think a lot of people take the Bible out of context in many ways to fit their personal like’s and dislike’s. I personally am MUCH more open minded than the average member in my particular church. That’s what you call being ‘open minded’. Everyone is different. What I believe happens to work for me. If flying through life by the seat of your pants (for the most part) works for you, great. I guess the quote, “If you don’t live life on the edge, you’re taking up too much space” is fitting in that case. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/christians-that-actually-know-the-bible-get-in-here/249908)._
