Wait, what? Your mother forced your sister to get married when she was in the 10th grade because she found a used condom?
I would have told mommy to blow it out her ass.

I am a believer. I am a spiritual person, not a religious. I believe in creation and the wonderful power that God's Love can bring to a person in need. I believe we are never given anything we can not handle and I believe that he is watching over us. I do believe in Jesus and that he died for our sins. What I do not believe in is organized religion. I fault no one for having their beliefs in organized religion, I simply don't agree.

I didn't read this entire thread.
I am a believer. I am not totally educated on all that is out there, but I will be taking a new and old test class within the next few months.

I am believer. I dont agree with foisting my beliefs onto anyone though. Everyone should be free to live their life their own way, and I am not going to call down hell fire and brimstone on anyone, as that is certainly not my place. Or anyone else's really. But believing has gotten me through some trying times, and its helping me right now.

I am believer. I dont agree with foisting my beliefs onto anyone though. EXACTLY. Which is why I get pissed off when people such as Freckles says we are all going to HELL if we dont beleive what he does, and why I am prompted to post underwear with Virgin Mary stains on it. To each his own. Live and let live. Bird in the hand. ETC.

Because all I saw was some pretty respectful exchange of ideas, until you dragged your drawers into it.

I guess it is next to impossible to have a religious discussion on the internet without mud slinging. This is why I do my best to avoid the topic online. It is unfortunate as we could learn so much from each other.
I guess this demonstrates why wars are fought in the name of religion.
Highly emotional topic.
Yes I am a believer.

I can't do that but I can do the next best thing. My good buddy Freckles makes it clear that it's his way or the hell-way. He doesn't say the word on this thread but he says it all over multiple forums. If he thinks I am mistaken then let him come back to this thread and correct me. Does he get a free pass or something? why? I don't mean this to be a debate, but simply an explanation. I am agnostic at best, athiest at worst (raised fundemental christian). There have been times in my life (once for sure) when the Bible saved my life. I have no doubt about that and i respect anyone's conscious decision and am genuinly curious: what do you believe and why? please be respectful (who am i kidding??) The Bible is 100 percent True and Truth directed by God Angels are Real God is Real also Evil is Real That is they Way it is

Well, no, but if he can express his opinions freely then so can I.
So there.
I see your point.

ah, i see, you want to be taken as seriously as freckles. gotcha. You mean he's not already? It's a moral dilemma. On one hand, I want to be able to freely express my opinion, like Freckles does...but on the other hand, I want to be taken seriously. I guess I can't have it both ways.
