RE: FALSE CHRISTIAN SCUM
Thank YOU for being one of the most delightful people I have ever "met"
by
modem. And Happy New Year. I thought Styx's comments were quite
appropriate, also.

Not really. More a culmination of small things.
Not at all several people have asked.
The thrust is, I'm not sure to what extent I ever did have faith. I was
quite skeptical from my late teens through mid-20s. I returned
to Christianity after my father died. Looking back, I see
that his death led me to realize the stark truth of mortality; I
ultimately embraced faith, I think, because of the assurance of heaven.

Ultimately, I don't. I'm grateful for Al's support. I wouldn't be

Did you ever notice how it's mostly men who sneer at the use of crystals?
We women know that they really DO work, why can't men just accept that?
Provided the crystals are diamonds.

Although, Jesus guaranteed that they would be.
The question is, are prayers *ever* answered? David Worrell tells of a
girl he dated who attributed receiving some money to the power of a
pagan ritual. A Christian would call it an answered prayer, an atheist
would call it a happy coincidence.
Any evidence that Christians, or any other group, has a higher rate of
such things than everybody else, suggesting divine favor?
I have always thought of prayer more as a
Christians v Guns
Sorry if it came across like that. I can see where it would. The thought
in my mind at the time was that it was stated that it was the MOTHER's
gun...she was the OWNER of said weapon and therefore the one responsible
for it's safety.
If Al had said it was the 'father's' gun, my reaction would have been the
same, only using 'father' in place of mother. I should have used 'owner'
instead.

You're missing it. The point is, it doesn't matter how many disbelieved
it. Perhaps 90 percent of the people disbelieved it. All it took was a
few believers there's no indication, even in the Bible and church
history, that Christianity was anything more than one cult among many
prior to Constantine. Christianity is still alive today probably only
because of Constantine.
Not at all. That would be true if there had been a conspiracy, but

Hmmm so did God damn his lab rats after they responded to the

The reality is, his hiding doesn't make for any greater belief than his
presence.
I'm not sure about that. We all admire the occasional self-sacrifice,
but we also all sympathize greatly with those who can't bring
themselves to make such sacrifices because most of us wouldn't.

Hey, good stuff. Good luck at it.
Well, OK. I do have a file sitting around that I can send the next
