If you're wondering - I actually quoted this, word for word, from a friend of mine's little brother who goes to church. At such a young age we teach our kids that no matter how much you fuck up, God will forgive him if you ask him to.

And people stop taking responsibility for their actions. Atheism is not something I hide behind, but it gives me the freedom to explore the world around me. I do all the bad things the bible says don't do - but that fucking bible was written by MAN. Dispute all you want about whether its the 'word of God' or not - a MAN wrote that book, and MAN was responsible for translating it and MAN has published millions of copies.

As long as the laws were written by MAN, they are dogma, and nothing more.
God is not a best-selling author.
the Kid has problems if he thinks he can continue in this behavior?
I'm not trying to pick a fight, not my intent at all. I enjoy talking with you on the boards. discussing what our conflicts or blocks are without taking offense, this could actually be enjoyable.

When I came on the boards at first, I was adversarial. I quickly realized how foolish that was. I see interesting people out there of which I may largely disagree. Any offensiveness on my part I apologize.

You too hold strong views, its cool. I can respect that

you can be pissed at what ever, no big deal. I usually only respond to comments made ~ where I feel that I can give a perspective from the other side. Not pointing fingers, as was mentioned in Isaiah, but, hopefully shed alittle light, from another light source.

Gods a big boy he can watch over it. It is also pointed out in it concerning "The Book " itself that we see thru a glass darkly. Referring to the Bible.

Pick it up tomorrow? Thanks for the response Willy
You matter more than your view.
