What religion do you call yourself?

Well if you feel strongly for something, it is only natural that you debate for it. If i feel good about my religion and feel that it is great and experience it every day, then i will talk about it too, there is nothing bad about it. I think we are a free country and are open to voice our opinion. In fact thanks for Sajha and Andrew for this thread. If people do not like to read about religion or learn about it then they can skip this thread, there is no compulsion. But then if people call this foring into others, let them i am least bothered but from my personal point of view i would say that for me my religion is the best and i enjoy it every day. i really do not care if people stereotype me for that. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and i will proclaim from the roof because i love every bit if it. It is like being in love. And yes i am a Nepali, and love my country and everything that comes with it. I pray for my country every day and seriously and one day would love to do something for the people there. Sometimes it is funny how people label us. If you are in a office or school and if you have to do puja then nobody cares but then the same people will shout from the top of their voice if christian schools asks their students to pray. That is the sheer hypocricy of people. Maybe people do not realize that we have the freedom to practice our religion and i really do not understand how one person can convert another. Changing or converting into another religion is the toughest thing and i feel it cannot be done just like that, there need to be the inteference of spiritual power for it. ONe person cannot convert the faith of another person and all this cry about conversion into christianity through people is meanighless because unless God himself interferes, one cannot experience the joy and peace of religion. I have respect of all other religion and religious values. I like people who are religious because i feel that it prevents them from doing bad and living a life of integrity. I am not trying to argue also, but just sharing my thoughts.
