You assume that when one is free spiritually, they will become Christians, why? I consider myself spiritually free, but I only believe in one, true, almighty God, who goes by whatever name someone chooses to call Him. Please don't tell me that I am only fooling myself, and am not truly free, and that if I was, I would not think as I do.

You can be a spiritually free thinker and not be a Christian, but you cannot be a Christian unless God draws you to him. I know a lot of non-Christians who consider themselves free spiritual thinkers, and I know a lot of "so called" Christians who don't think spiritually at all.

I think that is great. I do hope there is more, however. After all, Jesus said that if you believe there is one God, you do well. The devils believe, and tremble.

Christianity asks us, no, offers to us, the opportunity to go farther - to actually have a one on one relationship with God. Not as you would another human, for He is not human - But a personal relationship nonetheless.

By all means, I won't then. Keep searching. It is a lifetimen endeavor for all of us.
