And no religious Nazis? All I'm saying is go ahead and state your beliefs, about atheism and about God or whatever. But don't act like atheists are
bad and Christians are good. There are gems and rotten apples in every bunch! It's not us vs. them, we're all in this together.
Can I ask why you want to call attention to the obvious? Of course there are it's so evident in quite a few of the Salesman for God (Peter Popov).
Please don't ever assimilate me in anyway with those people. I follow Christ.
Or I try to, whatever. That's all that really makes me a Christian.
I study the word by myself or with friends. The big congregations aren't for me. Church leaders hate people like me worse than anyone. I'm there
worst threat by far. I believe you should get what God want's you to get from the Bible. Not what someone else want's you to get.
I'm not Catholic. I'm certainly no pastor. I simply feel there is a God.
I employ logic the best I can to that knowledge.
So from the outset of my acceptance, that there is a supreme being.
The first logical thing I should say to self is.
You know, if there is someone who can do all this, then he must be capable of communication somehow.
Unflawed communication.
There is simply nothing on Earth like the Bible.
No other religion has anything that even comes close to the Bible.
You can not like it, for this reason or that. Cherry pick some parts you do or don't really care fore.
I'm telling you all every one of you that come across this thread.
And read these words. That book is alive and yes I know how that sounds.
Believe me I'm only speaking the truth as I know it.
It is called the Living Bible for a reason.
Read it with an open mind (which I know you can do) and I think you'll see how it sounds that way
Oh and Ok I will do that. I will go back and read my own opener with an open mind.
K . Let me say first. That's not that easy to do!!!!

How do you go back and read your own propaganda with an open mind? That could be a new
saying.
"That would be like trying to read your own propaganda with an open mind".
Oh sorry be'in silly again.
I will admit to as mush as a condescending ring to it. The part about
death not existing, was really directed at a few who, in the past found it
necessary to eliminate other things from existence not just deity.
