Although it is not true that all conservatives are stupid, it is true that most stupid people are conservative. John Stuart Mill ************ It's much harder to be a liberal than a conservative. Why? Because it is easier to give someone the finger than a helping hand. Mike Royko |

I was raised to explore any religions I wanted, and became an atheist after exploring them. I dedicated myself to history, and actually debunking religion. In the end I found out there was just as much evidence for the existence of Christ as the non-existence and I made a conscious choice to believe, however, having explored the bible and everything surrounding it I decided to reject the bible and follow Christ and his Father morally. This didn't mean I rejected science, logic, or history. I embraced all of those, but like Einstein I had decided to believe in a higher power. To put it another way: I never had religion, but now I have spirituality. |

It keeps people of different faiths from truly coming together. Religion does, Spirituality doesn't. In order for us to perform on the intergalactic stage we must first learn to accept and tolerate that people believe different things. ETs won't believe in God, or they'll believe in a different God. They may worship a golden doughnut. They may act like stereotypical black people all with voices like Chris Tucker's. Tolerance. We have to leave it up to our Gods to judge, and stop judging ourselves. |

You are a natural man, walking dead in the ways of the world, thinking you have attained to a higher sense of being, but lost and deceived by the one who is in control of this world this present time. You must be born again. You must believe and accept the sacrifice that Almighty God has provided through His Son, Jesus Christ. When you have done this, then the truth will be made clear to you--the scales will have fallen from your eyes and you will see and understand the things of God. Until that happens, any other attempt to try to achieve spiritual whatever, will just be a lie and a deterrent to keep your eyes of Christ--it's the devils main intent and so many are choosing to go his way because they set their eyes on the behavior of man and don't take the time to see who Jesus Christ really is. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Acts 20:24 "This man really is the Savior of the world!" John 4:42 Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. I am the Alpha and the Omega, " says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:7 |

That's why I stay away from religion.

You do realize that Baptism is an Ancient Egyptian and Ancient Roman ritual? It has nothing to do with the Christ. |

Quoting: Charlie the Choo-Choo yes, but it also has to do with the Christ as well.... walking on water.... 33-211 Walking on water and Baptism have nothing to do with one another. One was a declaration of divine power, the other is a pre-Christian ritual that honors multiple Gods. |
