Some have already twisted my words.

I did not attack Rev. Falwell by name, nor was it intended.

Names like Roberts, Tilton and Bakker come to the forefront of "cash first, blessings second".

The Rev. Billy Graham is sincere, honest and should be revered for his efforts over the decades, unlike many others.

I will no longer converse with Biblical absolutists or literalists since it is a waste of bandwidth, even thought I have plenty.

Suffice it to say that if Jesus Christ arose from the dead (and I will not argue against that point, for I believe he may have), a form of energy was involved in that transformation, regardless of Biblical or secular nomenclature.

I have referenced THAT form of energy, nothing else. Regardless of the origin of the earth and life in general, some form of energy was necessary for those transactions of Adam & Eve or the amoebic cells to the forms of life we know and recognize today.

And for whomever mentioned "talking to the dead"...a better description may be "communication" from one side to the other, or do you not believe in any of God's angels as protectors throughout the centuries in the Bible as "Guardian Angels" of the innocent who survive death situations by miraculous intervention with no physical bodies involved?

It is either science (physics), or a form of divine intervention, and both are forms of energy that lifted that tree or car or whatever solid object threatening the life and limb of an innocent.

Until you have been part of such a revelation through personal experience, you are sorely sad to besmirch those who have.

The answer to your next accusational question is, "Yes, I have been, with my wife and one of my sons".

Expecting some to label me and mine "blasphemous", I say to you that you had better be very ready to answer the same questions some day at your time of reckoning you so fervently put forth to others.

That complaining is perceived as an odd envy for not being "chosen" or whatever, and that is truly sad.

The true faithful of the Christian religion do not have to run off at the mouth condemning any or all who they deem "not quite right for OUR style of faith".

True faithful Christians know in their hearts and souls that thought and deeds speak louder in the long run than all the proselytizing and condemnation of others at a high decibel level.

Tis a shame, but I expect this to be pulled... Hopefully not until it is read once or twice by real Christians.
