>Granted. It's just not a concept that I can accept as anything other than mythology. The ancient Norse believed in Valhalla and the Valkyrie. How is this different. I'm assuming here of course, that you don't believe in Valhalla and the Valkyrie.

Hey, I'm just answering questions. I'm no preacher..... It's all in what you believe. If religion makes you a better person, then I don't see any problem. I just choose not to get involved with religion. But I know too mnay good people who are in it to say that religion is bad.

Can a person be a Christian even if they don't believe that Christ is the Son of God?

My dad and mom were practicing buddha. But my dad never got over his alcohol addiction until he became a Christian. His business got better and he made more friends and became a much better parent, they both did.
