A Christian that Hurts

why don't i get christainty anymore,im starting to think its a selfish religion,but what about the things people have seen,like live after death,help please

In my opinion we cannot say what Christianity is and what is not. Everybody perceives religion differently. You have to search deep into yourself to find the truth. Research, research research... you say it might be a selfish religion. That's your own perspective. Meditate on it. Why do you think that it's a selfish religion? Take a piece of paper, and state your reasons, what do you like about it? what do you don't like about it? Mature thinking if you know what I mean. You don't necessarily have to follow a Religion, or a tradition/traditions, or whatever. In my path for example I'm just me. I do my own thing. I follow my heart, and I bow to no religion. But that's just me. Do whatever works for you. Find a Christian who knows what their religion is about. Ask them things. Learn. Then, you act accordingly. Hope this helps.

Well, my best friend and I have both died; myself briefly, him for a good 2-3 minutes. (These were at different times, not from the same cause.) Neither of us saw anything; it was just like being asleep. So to answer your question, a lot of the people who see life after death could just be hallucinating. One hypothesis is that at death the pineal gland releases a large amount of a psychoactive chemical called DMT, but there's no evidence for this apart from one controversial study.

So near-death experiences are not necessarily evidence for Christianity. It is my personal opinion that no religion is correct. However, even so, I don't think Christianity is a selfish religion: a lot of the emphasis is on helping others, after all. Protestant variants of Christianity disagree, but in Catholicism, doing good deeds is a required part of being Christian.

But in the end, if you feel like it's not the religion for you, then don't force yourself. However, if you are interested in staying Christian while practicing magic, I've made another thread about the influence of Christianity on my sort of magic: http://www.spellsofmagic.com/read_posts.html?post=334661
