Well, I've just read through this thread and can't believe how retro has been picked on ! I personally chose Christianity because it's how I was brought up by my dear parents and as I have stated on previous threads, my beloved Dad believed in 'the Lord' as he called him and I would NEVER criticise anything he believed in because I loved him so. I don't particularly believe there is a God, but I would never have told my Dad that and I was disgusted, to say the very least, that someone on here stated anyone who believes in God is mentally ill !! My Dad was most definitely NOT mentally ill. I chose Christianity because I definitely believe in life after death, something else that gets mocked by some on here, but why ?? How does me believing in life after death affect anybody else in any way, shape or form ? Just carry on with your beliefs retro, who cares what anybody on here thinks, I definitely don't, but I'm a bit of a tough old nut !!
