I have decided to turn over a new leaf, I am posting this here because it would have no relevance anywhere else (forum wise). I have come to the conclusion that religious debates have now become unproductive and pointless. These debates are now to the low side of the spectrum. I hold the Ideal that a person must respect another’s beliefs, and have become that which I abhor. To any I have offended I apologize. I have a faith held together with wire and duct tape. I have lost faith in the Roman Catholic Church’s ability to lead and move forward. I am a man without a country. I don't feel very Christian at the moment. I think that everyone who reads the religious posts knows where they stand, and I cannot imagine what is to be gained by rehashing what has already been said. I think I will try to approach things in a more reasoning fashon.

The onset of wisdom. Everyone could use a little more reason and a little less faith.

There's no such thing. Just ignore him. Maybe he'll go away. 🙂

My encounters with IvanHoeJoe made me realize the same thing last year. I have tried to stay out of the religion things. Hell I even stick up for my heritage. After all... just because I chose to dump my religion didn't mean I dumped ALL of my core beliefs. I'm not even sure the human animal could do that if he wanted to.

Peace! Live long and prosper. Then die. Then.... whatever you want to do at that point is just fine with me. Work it out with your God with no advice from me.
