[pete311]

Put down your fear. (shrug). Put on a logical mind. it's easy.

What fear? What logic?

I think you're afraid of truth. I suspect you're afraid of what it might mean to know God exists. I suspect most folks' self-esteem cant handle the thought they are NOT the center of the world and stuff. Logic. You know...the opposite of Atheism. Thinking this happened by magic or mystical good-fortune...bro...that my friend takes faith.

i dont care about those things. I care about reason, evidence, probability, and love. And truth. Absolutes. Data.

Every single religion is man made. A man wrote every single piece of scripture in every single holy book.

Nobody cares nor is talking about Scripture. God is infinitely bigger than a book. The book simply describes God anyway. God's nature.

Nature, on the other hand, describes God's love. Nature POINTS to creation. And that's a good thing.

Please explain and don't link me to creationism vs evolution bullshit

I choose not to discuss my religion or lack thereof. I prefer that others do the same.

That's because you need Jesus.

Depends. I can respect that. You aren't alone. I won't engage in a pissing contest over it and I'm far from a Holy roller. I can discuss it without selling it.

Well, except with gnostic. I do it then just to watch him whine

Why reply in a thread about religion, just to say you don't discuss religion?



And side note, why do you not want others to discuss religion? Why does even that bother you?

Thanks Black Diamond, for answering the question.

You're welcome. I live in a relatively conservative area and I saw a billboard (one of the new ones that changes every few minutes) saying God doesn't exist. I had never seen anything like that anywhere let alone around here.

Why not?

You apparently read something in my post that wasn't there...

I have no problem with people discussing religion, I prefer they not discuss their religion specifically. Why? Because nine times out of ten they do so in an effort to convert someone. I don't know about you, but I'm quite happy where I am, religiously speaking, and don't need converting.
