Gee, thanks. that makes me feel this big --> . For some reason I'm coming
fast to the end of being able to calmly discuss this without preaching to
people. The only thing is for some reason you guys all read books so you can
argue against Christians. Most Christians don't read much at all as far as
philosophy except for books on improving one's relationship with God. You
have undoubtedly found that most Christians are not much for aguing. That
above statement of yours almost made me go off the edge.

I love being manipulated between a rock and a hard place. I won't speak out
disrespectfully (which would be your interpretation of me quoting Bible
verses, etc), yet you will try to push me to the point of doing so.

Read "It Couldn't Just Happen" It has literally hundreds of those. I don't
have the book nor have I read the entire thing. I have seen it and seen
excerpts from it. Its rather intriguing.
I have to go off to a youth group Christmas party... I should probably stop
reading off-topic.debate too, since it seems to be getting me angry, though I
haven't shown it.
