Tparks86 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 This is my reply to the recent topic-I just wanted to make sure you take a look at it.Great post(s) Daniel. I was excited to hear that you were a Christian, but even more now, I know you've got your head on straight. You've cleared up a lot of misconceptions about Christianity and Relgion. I too am a believer that people put way to much stock in CHURCH and orgainized religion. It becomes a business and deters us from the real reason we call our selves Christians. I haven't read "A case for Christ" but have heard good things about it. MERE CHRISTIANITY by C.S. Lewis is probably my favorite book. He too, was an athiest, and "thought" his way into Christianity-the book is truely amazing. I challenge you all to read it, especially you smash. I don't want to preach or be a jerk, but you seem to be a pretty level-headed guy, and you can understand that it's important to really understand and explore something before you bash it and make assumptions that aren't true. Take a weekend and read Mere Christianity-keep an open mind-that's all I ask. God Bless- (great discussion) Tommy Link to post Share on other sites

Making you own post, when there is already one devoted to this. If he does not believe in God, that is his choice. Link to post Share on other sites
Tparks86 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Of course that's his choice-I said nothing to refute that. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 isn't posting for smash to read.... uhh i'm not even going to bother.i know you were addressing smash, but i have a mother who is a devout fanatical catholic, and there is no way i am ever going to convert to catholicism just because of her influence.

gadjet 11 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Let me tell you a little something about Private Messaging... ok: there's a button and it says "send a private message" and you click on it and it opens up a box you can write in... and then when you click send... and it sends a PRIVATE MESSAGE!!!...P.S. Private Message Link to post Share on other sites
JFarrell20 1 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Calling out Smash in a public forum like this is pretty uncouth. Couldn't you have PM'ed him?Seriously. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiskyRiver 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 God can't read private messages, thus, he doesn't get the "Heaven Points". Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 To those of you suggesting to the original poster that he could have PM'd Smash......You also could have PM'd that suggestion to the original poster. Link to post Share on other sites

Nutcracker 0 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 To those of you suggesting to the original poster that he could have PM'd Smash......You also could have PM'd that suggestion to the original poster.You know, YOU could have PM'ed each of those people to tell them to send a PM to the original poster about using a PM to contact Smash.

dms26 3 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 I was going to say something about letting people choose for themselves what they want to believe in but its kinda like :wall: Link to post Share on other sites
Metro 0 Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 With the dozens of threads about religion over the past 3-4 days, one could almost justify tossing in a section of the forum for religious topics alone... seriously people, LET IT GO! Link to post Share on other sites
Smasharoo 0 Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 IF you think I haven't read Lewis, Aqunias, Pascal, or any of the other arguments in favor of God, you're wrong.I've read all of them and found them all equally wanting in any sort of argument other than "Come on, don'y you feel like there is a god, trust your feelings!"I think you grossly understimate how educated I am on this subject.
