I am reading your sites and see where you are coming from. I can respect that, because I held those same beliefs before I got saved.

I like to research both sides before I come to a conclusion.

Here is some info for you specfically :

ill give ya what you wanna know....if u go by culture my family is half pagan and half christian, economics....poorer than dirt, I was brought up in the church, but college opened my eyes....had I stayed here in the country and not traveled abroad, and not went to school, it is quite possible I might have been one of the holier than thou shmucks.

I was brought up believeing that every word in the bible was true, all was written by God, Me personally, i just dont know, I dont wanna know. For me if what the xtians say is true than i prefer a lake of fire....furthermore im gonna live my life to the fullest, Im gonna take chances, make risks, and have a hell of alot of fun doing it

wake up call for everyone....we all DIE!....Im not going to spend my life walking on eggshells for a god who may or maynot exist.

Was that EVER the case?
Even when I've not been active on the board, every time that I've peeked in there was SOME SORT of Religios debate thread somewhere on the first page...

I agree Mike. Back in the day when this site first started, before our numbers of the beast were started over, there were always some debate of the same nature. At the same time, I agree with Junkie.... it seems lately its been more often than usual. Once again.... BONE, YOU TROUBLEMAKER!!! Course, I cant say shit..... im the one that introduced Jeff to this site due to the 'Gothic Christianity' issue.... then posted the topic about the Davinci Code. And honsestly, in both cases, had NO intent of starting any shit. See what trying to be nice gets you!! no more Mr. Nice Guy...

i took this more as a demographic observation..than an actual hey..do you believe the bible is literally true..thing. but hey..maybe im just retarded.

You retard!

shut up! -cry cry cry-

check your PM Ash...

Exactly.
I was found the demographic of the story interesting, comparing relious faith beliefs by region, social class, and economical upbringing. But, I'm just sick in the head that way I guess.

Neither side can "truely" prove thier side as eithers side is pretty much opinion. As long as you are comfortable in the life you are living. SO why bother arguing it.

You troublemaker.

I wish people would stop using the bible as proof of gods existance/christ's divinity, whatever...

I'm gonna start using the Illiad and the Oddyssy for proof that all the greek gods exist.

Do you people believe every book you read?? Certianly you realize just because there is a book doesn't mean its true.

Sorry, I read it on the internet, so I know it must be true.

Just as important question, why do people feel so adament to inject their beliefs on people. Regardless of what those beliefs are. We can't al be right.... or can we.
