"You listed all the things you don't believe in, so I didn't bother figuring you didn't want to say but I was wrong; what do you believe in?
"

Odd question, and pretty open-ended. I believe in a mother's love for her child. I believe that we have a very short time on this amazing planet, so each day is worth a lot. I believe that the Constitution of the United States is one of the most important documents ever written. I believe in love at first sight. I believe in being faithful to the ones you love. I believe in giving a fellow the benefit of the doubt.

There's lots more. If you have something specific, I'll be glad to tell you.

It seemed odd to me, too, but you told me to ask.

How do you think that humans came to being and do you have any proof of your belief?

Well, since ya asked, lol. Do you believe in the theory of evolution? For the life of me I cannot grasp that theory as having any merit.

You also believe in arguing with people. Are you lonely? Do you need human interaction so badly that you have to pick fights with small-minded people? I happen to share your position on this issue, but I wouldn't have spent the better part of the day debating semantics with born-agains.

That's nice. God is love.

I believe that we have a very short time on this amazing planet, so each day is worth a lot.

The heavens declare His righteousness, and all the peoples see His glory.

I believe that the Constitution of the United States is one of the most important documents ever written.

The American revolutionary epoch was momentous for religion, as currents of life and thought that had been stirred by the Great Awakening merged with other forces to mark a transition to freedom of belief.

I believe in love at first sight.

God is love.

I believe in being faithful to the ones you love.

Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

I believe in giving a fellow the benefit of the doubt

"Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me."

This is my only word on this debate. All who wish for Christianity removed from public life will probably get their wish. However, when it comes to pass, they will not like what they have wrought. Remember that.
