There are HUGE advantages to faith. Where do I begin?

This is a great question, and one that unbelievers will look at with disdain. But, in a nutshell, I would say that one of the the main advantages of faith is that you live your life with purpose. You have a reason for being, existing, and living. You're not here by chance, but rather are meant to be here, NOW.

In short, we're here to glorify God and complete the work He gives us to do.

Says the girl who is so hooked on Shiki that she's following him wherever he goes and posting comments.

Shiki likes that you are a Shikette. Why can't you admit it? Everyone knows you have Shiki Fever.

Shiki knows all, my potato croquette of passion.

"Do you really want to open this can of worms?"
Sure, why not. This is fun.

"What you say is simply not true."
Of course it is.

"The evidence for evolution is overwhelming and anyone that takes the time to understand it sees this."
If this were the case, it would be The LAW of Evolution, not The Theory of Evolution. Evolution has not been proven. You can have as many theories as you want, but until something is proven, that's all it is.

"Evolution has been proven over and over for the past 150 years with almost no change from Darwin's idea."
See above.

"This is why evolution is taught in public school and creationism isn't. Creationism simply doesn't stand up to scrutiny. It's just poor science."
Oh, come on. You know and I know why evolution is taught and Creationism is not. People do not want to have Bible study in schools because of the separation of Church and State. Until 1962, Bible study was part of public schools.

"I'd go so far as to say Darwin has given us the most beautiful, simple and elegant idea in history."
Darwin is merely a cure for insomniacs. Want to go to sleep? read The Origin of the Species.

"But, this isn't the place to argue the validity of evolution. You should start a thread in the proper forum."
To reiterate, the purpose of this post was merely to state that I like reading the Bible. As you are changing topics, that might be a good idea for you to do.

So, what's up?
What's good?

I have no idea why someone would send you a harsh email. I don't agree with you, but you have an opinion and belief, and stick by it. I respect you for that.

Think of the odds that it would take to form a human from an amoeba. Now, contrast that against a Creator making us. Which has greater odds of happening?

Hey, at least nobody is going with the Big Bang approach. That is a bit far-fetched, even for nonbelievers.

Universal truth = JESUS.

It really is simple.

"Truth comes when you no longer look for it because it is a natural thing."

I disagree here. Truth comes when you put in the effort to search for it.

I agree here. It is more rational to believe that we came from a Creator than to believe in evolution (that we came from an amoeba).

singmesweet, I am sorry that I used my 2-for-1 Outback Blooming Onion coupon on someone else. It's just that, well, she was a bit more Shik-a-licious than you.

And as for Mikey117, the creepy part is the thought of any rational woman entering your bedroom. You say you don't need Viagra, and it seems to me that a person wouldn't say he didn't require it unless, well, he did. What's the matter, is Little Mikey not able to stand for attention?

NO WALL OF SHIKI FOR EITHER OF YOU!!!

God created us and we are beautiful. One needs only look at soufiehere to see that God's creation is, indeed, good.

Msharmony, I was saying that because TexasScoundrel was claiming he was such an expert, and we should never mix up words in the Bible.

Keep in mind that the original post was that I love to read this book.

Mikey, don't feel bad because you have not yet made THE WALL OF SHIKI. Waiting for you to say something flattering about me. I know, you are trying to narrow it down from the hundreds of things you are thinking.

Well put.

One of Shiki's friends is a guy. Truth be told, most men do not like Shiki. Sending a friend request now.

Good morning, my sweet candied yam of love. I've been pulling an all-nighter, so sleep will be welcome soon.

Heh heh, you said "little harder."

OK, for what it is worth, perhaps a new name might be in order.

Are there women out there who want to go out with a Zombie Assassin? If where you live is filled with zombies, have you considered relocating? Real estate prices are good nowadays. You can probably get a home in a zombie-free part of the country for a good price. And if you are killing zombies all of the time, won't your woman feel neglected? Look at Woody Harrelson. Sure, he killed his zombies in Zombieland, but did he get the girl? Nope.

Just a thought.

Shiki
He's not just terrific.
He's Shikerrific.
