You have already made up your mind. Why should I defend the truth when you obviously are completely ignorant about the Bible which is so aptly demonstrated by your senseless comments?

If you are so morally weak you need help from the BIBLE, I pity you.

Originally posted by stokerThat's what makes your faith so attractive to me. The combination of arrogance and ignorance. The ability to dismiss all other paths without even knowing what most of them are about, even on a general level. The proud close-mindedness.

Kofi Anan... (Spelling?)
Anybody who accepts those around them for who they are, respects whatever they believe and always tries to do right by them.......
These are values I try to live my life by and always have. It doesn't mean I won't argue a point though. The fact that I'm willing to argue with someone tends to mean I have some respect for them......

i was an athiest (a hostile & confrontational one) until 40 yo, when God touched me. very humbling experience
