Do you believe in the Christian God? Do you have faith and practice a christian lifestyle? What is your opinion on why God allows evil in our lives? Do you believe you will be rewarded for all you've been through once you reach heaven?

Free will. Its not about reward. Its about receiving a gift. And i think that gifts so amazing that the least i want to live my life in a way that pleases him
I believe that there is some sort of god, however I do believe that the bible and the teachings used in churches are far from what they were originally intended by the first writers. I also no longer go to church on a regular basis, because of all of the corruption that is visible you never know which church is truly good willed or which ones are just in it to scam people. I am not a god hater however I know personally how hypicritical people who use church as their way to god can be.

Yes I do!
No! because I'm Baptist.
My thoughts on why he alows evile is that God really wants to know how strong your faith is in him.
Because it is eay to have faith in god when your are receiving his blessings but when your struggling and times are rough will you stray.
I do belive that, because if you trully have faith in him he will bless you.

I believe in God with all my mind, all my heart, and all my soul. I try to practice a cristian lifestyle as best I can, but being weak I often stumble and fall short of God's greatness.
Evil entered into the world with orgiginal sin. By one man's transgressions (Adam) all were made sinners and subject to death. In his infinite wisdom and desire to make the law just this was made so in order to save men by faith( belief in God) not works(deeds we do in life). Jesus Crist is our savior, because through his just sacrifice (one man's obdience) all could be made sinless and thus the law was balanced on both sides.
I believe that entry into heaven and God's awesome pressence will be my reward beyond that I have no concern.

I was raised Roman Catholic and attended church every Sunday until I moved out of my parents' house at the age of eighteen. It was there that I learned about the corruption that runs rampant throughout organized religion and began to despise it to its very core. It was also there that I heard the words of Jesus in his sermon on the mount and grew to love Him for what He stands for. I think there is alot of truth in the Bible for anyone who cares to look for it; I also think that it has been twisted and corrupted throughout the millenia by people seeking to further their own agendas. If one is going to find God it will be within her/his own heart through careful study and/or meditation. I can see where attending church could help you on your way, but all too often I think churches are too intolerant of outside thought which could be very harmful to the whole process. As far as the evil and afterlife questions go, I don't really have an answer for either. I guess that will all be made clear to us after we leave this earth... or maybe it won't be.

I do belive in a god, but i am no christian. god allows Evil because without evil, how would one know what good is. Jesus said that he came to split mothers from daughters and turn brothers into enemies, all to test the faith of man. If i have to stand by and watch my family torn apart so that i may one day rest in the o so glorious heaven, i choose hell!

Yes i believe in a christian god, and i do have faith although i do not attend church regularly. God allows evil in life, because he gave us free will, it has nothing to do with us sinning, because god's only son was sacraficed for our sins and forgave us all of all our sins. Free will allows us to be influenced by the devils work which allows us to have a tendency to be evil. Yes i do believe i will be rewareded once i reach heaven.

I believe that whether people agree or disagree all thoughts, opinions, and actions are based along lines or religion or religious beliefs. I have grown up in a christian church and until the last couple of years been critically involved in the church, but lately i have began to question and take a look at my beliefs. the moral of the bible is followed my many people and they will still deny having any religious belief. and some people will go out and have sex, drink, and get high yet still say they are a christian. it makes mo sense to many but i have the solution. organized religion is a dysfuctional way of expressing religious beliefs! what comes from organized religion is only hypocracy, judgement, and ignorance! people begin to become blind to those things outside of what they are tought. it hard to say whether i will be rewarded for all that i have done but its not what i will get from what i have done but what have i done to help others and ease their mind about life or other things.

I don't believe in god. I think that there is something that must have created us, but I don't believe anything in the bible. My personal belief on being rewarded in the end, is that if you lead a good life and treat people with respect, you should end up in a good place. I believe more in science when it comes down to the creation of us.
