What did you think it was for? obviously it's for a group of non-religious people to congregate for non-religious worship of a non-religious deity Actually, it's for people who live by faith to congregate for worship of a Lord and Savior with whom they have a living relationship. I don't think that...

Shall take that all under advisement, PSU. However, these books are currently backed up behind at least two others (Heat of the Night and Rise of Silas Lapham), maybe more. Will probably do the Crane book once those are done. If I like that, will check out The Open Boat. Thanks for the comments.

Yes, my church is non-denominational and Christian.

Just finished this book. Excellent stuff. Whimsical, to be sure. Doc was a wonderful character.

I will never look at the food I eat in the same way ever again. That is an eye opening and life changing book.....

I have that one. Read it partly and then put it down in favor of another. Perhaps I should re-explore.

Yes, my church is non-denominational and Christian. It's also a Bible based church. Everything that is taught is verifiable through scripture. Our church, as with all of such type churches I've attended, don't 'indoctrinate' children in the manner that you've accused them. The foundation is lain for...

You speak as if an expert on the subject of children, Felix. I find this funny as I doubt you've been to either my church or any evangelical church or spent time in their youth groups/sunday school classes. Or am I wrong? About what denominations do you speak (and on this I want specifics)? Again, i...

I like Pop's line, so I'll steal it for this post. I have a faith (belief) in the risen Christ. I confessed that truth and I am not required to do anything else. Another case in point, Catholics are required by their RELIGION to attend mass, attend confession, and partake of the sacrament in order t...

Christianity isn't a religion? Really? What is it? A rubber ball? Paper airplane? A pair of shitted drawers?

It's a relationship with the risen Christ. How hard is that to understand?

battery chucka' one

Felix, this is where your argument falls on its face. First, you lump Christianity in with all other world RELIGIONS, when it's actually not a religion. Second, in all churches I've attended (fundamentalist, all), they teach children about scripture. They do shield them somewhat from the more brutal...

I don't have the three hours to spend in a row. However, am a little over half done (I've been reading over my lunch hour). So far, it's very entertaining. Will post more after I finish.

It's abundantly obvious that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. If life cannot come from non-life, where does your precious god come from? Or are you saying he/she/it isn't alive?

I don't understand why so many will simply accept that their belief is the truth, with no personal leap. And then they'll ridicule those who think otherwise.

Felix, You speak of scientific evidence. Apparently you know nothing of courtroom procedure. Evidence doesn't prove anything. It just points you in a direction and can be found to be false. You have no proof in what you believe. You take your side based upon your own faith. The sad thing is that you...

I didn't drop the accusation. The onus is on him (or you). Now get to proving.

btw, Q, would you care to prove to us that the Bible is false and that there is no God? If I hear a compelling enough argument, it would go a long way in accepting your premise. Thanks in advance.

Okay, the idea of states rights being the primary focal point is the idea of contrasting 'top-down' governing versus 'bottom-up'.
