I'm not Christian, but I've lived around Christians my whole life. I don't like religion, but I find it unavoidable lately. I prefer spiritualism and spiritual wholesomeness. But as I said, religion is unavoidable, especially Christianity.

That being said, I think the concept of being born again is faulty. It seems like an excuse for everything that's been done in the past. I believe your life is a permanent record, and no amount of prayer or promises of change can take away what you've done. I don't think it will hold up, come your visit to the pearly gates. Life is lived once, do the best you can while you can, and you won't have to worry about it in the future.

Personally, Christianity seems built around reward. Religion shouldn't be about reward, it should be about faith. Faith in what you believe in, and your higher power giving you the strength to pull through whatever troubles you're going through. Heaven seems to be the biggest reward of them all, and the guidelines given for this reward are preposterous and nearly impossible to live by for an extended period of time.

But I guess, the only way to ultimately find out is to die.
