The hatred and malice spread throughout these threads in the name of religion is overwhelming...and you even attack your own with just as much vitriol. That is your testimony and witness, and that is your so-called "fruit of the Spirit". Amazing!
Lee, it's your call of course, but I would urge you to rethink your dedication to a system that mouths the words, "peace" and "love", yet displays such rancor even between members. I rejected all forms of religion years ago and haven't regretted my decision for a moment.
Well thank God it is a free country and you are welcome to do so.
Oops sorry.
How about, Thank the earth below that this is a free country and you are welcome to do so.
However you are missing the point about Christianity PW, it is not a religion as you would like to think of it. Not nearly so much as evolution or communism, where dissension leads to banishment, punishment or death. In spite of the fact that Lee and I disagree on evolution, we do agree that Jesus Christ did come to earth in the form of a man and died for our sins. We are not worthy of his sacrifice and there is nothing we can do to earn it. It is a free gift and you can either take or leave it. We choose to accept it you choose to reject it. So be it, only time will tell who made the right choice. As far as religion goes I don't really have any use for it either. Best of luck to you.
