What religion do you call yourself?

I agree with you in the Christian views and it feels great that there are nepali Christians here, i thought i was the only one. I think Christianity is the greatest religion when it comes to showing love, i have gone through other religions also but it all teaches you is to love yourself. Lets face it, have you ever heard a hindu person saying that 'in dashain he would like to give his salary or dashain bonus for another poor family so that he can eat. I mean all i hear is that we will cut Khasi, have mashu and play cards and enjoy life. Same thing with any other festival. But then if one call yourself a good christian then the first thing we are supposed to do is give, give our time to church, give our money and all our festivals teaches to give. At least for me and that is the biggest message for LOVE. It is not easy to share another person about your faith and christianity, it is a big humilation, we just heard how people hate that and that is again giving i would say. It is easy to say that we believe in love and do not practice it but then for me Christ showed the ultimate love and i am always encouraged to give to people may it be time or sharing or anything and that is what true christians do. And again Christianity is not a religion or a western view, it is a relationship and relationship with Christ and God and unless you have personally gone through that relationship, one cannot describe it and cannot feel how much it means. Sometimes, the whole problem that we face in Nepal i feel is because we have not learned to give, not learn to share with our brothers and sisters of the country who are in need and that is why we suffer. Look at our king, i mean, have you ever heard our king or any other dignitaries making committment to give anything. They just want to live for themselves. I am not telling that all Chrsitians are good and rest are bad, because i know so many of my friends from different faith who are so passionate about others, i am only talking about LOVE here and for me personally, my religion has taught it and i love that relationship part of it. And again i am not trying to prove anything, just purely sharing my views and my thought with free mind. Please no offence to anyone or anything.....
