I went to an ApologetiX Concert on Friday (can I squeal with happiness that I finally went to a live concert??!! It was fabulous too!), and one of the band members who will be leaving the group's tours soon gave a bit of a speech near the end. He said he runs into a lot of Christians who are afraid to show their faith, and I just wondered---are any of you here afraid? Afraid to show your faith, whatever your religion? How do you show it if you do? Why don't you show it if you don't?

I don't really show it, because it's not something that really needs to be brought up, y'know? I'm not AFRAID of being Christian, I don't MIND it. I pray and stuff, but I don't really show it here. Y'know?

I'm not afraid but I'm not a super religious person so I don't really do much to show it either. But if someone is talking about my religion I'll be like "oh yeah, I'm Christian." and if they're making fun of my religion or talking bad about it I'll stand up for what I believe in. But I don't judge, people can believe what they want. And I hate when people try to shove their beliefs down other's throats.

Er... I'm not really a religious person.
Don't really believe in god anymore!
I am suppose to be christian though as I have been confirmed but, I can't say I'm afraid of my faith. I don't mind telling people what faith I am.

I am a Catholic. But I don't really bring it up. Catholism is something I believe in, not a title I flaunt around. Of course, if someone asks me what religion I am, I'd say catholic, bcuz I'm not afraid or ashamed.

I'm really not comfortable telling anyone because kids at my first elamentry school made fun of me and threw rocks because of it. It's sad when a third grader has to change schools because of something like that.
