There is no reasoning with a fool.


yes indeed....but however may not be fool....just mis or uninformed. Mis guided....so on :wink:

lol, misinformed or misguided. so what you are saying is that UNTIL i believe in God that I'm not right. you totally are saying that. you know, i could see you on the street, and you could be short-changed or something, and i would help you out. i would in know way ask you what your religion was, and even if i knew, i'd still help you out. but some of you on the other hand seem you would turn a blind eye to someone like me. does the bible not say do unto others...?

No sir.You are entitled to believe or not to believe.To believe is a personal decision and belief.Also a personal Feeling and thoughts. Our nations constitution also protects your freedoms.

well un-informed one, i'm not from your nation.



Canada eh? Not many do believe in Canada. Well, as it may be....I...."the uninformed one" have others to inform...that care to be informed...for your lost soul my friend...I bid you a good day and may you have luck down the road of life.

Very well put, except we mortals cannot save another person's soul...we can help them on their journey to the One who can.

Some people would indeed turn from you. A tree with fruit is not sweet til it ripens on the tree. Some religious folk think they are ripe, but really green, leaving a nasty taste in your mouth, sour. Some have ripened, become sweeter.

Stick around. I welcome you. And yes, I do matter.flowerforyou

Yea, people do seem to take the topics that want to "use" from the bible and ignore the other stuff......


I am a believer......I am proud of that fact.However many others are not...and that is their choice as well.It may sadden me or even make me a lil upset sometimes but here's the facts...We as believers are expected to help spread the teachings and beliefs.We are to try and save other peoples souls from the depths of dispair and bring them to the light. So he says...My life is not in dispair....and even if it were...what's to say God is going to help it any.....Do you breathe air? Do you see it? could you live without it? Is there life anywheres else?

many questions have always plagued society sir.....Belief and trust with love in something you can not see......you may not love the air...but you have to have it...you can't see it...but you trust and believe it's there.......

I'm not trying to take that away from you. I have no problem with you being religious, but when you say spreas the religion, it just sounds kind of forceful. maybe i'm wrong, but should religous views that one has, be kept to themselves? I mean as long as you're happy believing in what you believe in. I would never try to sway anyone away from their beliefs. That's why i get quite angry, when ppl say i'm mis-guided, or un-informed, or a fool. It just seems, that there's always something to constantly pick away at me, just based on the fact that I'm not religious.

I would say "lead" them. We have to be the kind of people, and representative of God, so that others will want what we have.

Not too many believe in god in Canada?
ok, I'm sorry, but that is quite an ignorant thing to say. I know lots of religous ppl. I was brought up in a catholic family myself. yeh we may be a smaller poulation that the states by like 200 millions, but ratio wise, I'd say religion is fairly close, as far as believers go.

Religion and what one believes are not always the same.

Becoming religious once again is a personal choice.You will have to always make up your own mind.Being religious comes from within....some people do not feel this within.Maybe just because ...or because something hasn't happened in their lives that has sparked it...however, and no matter which way it is...it is my firm belief that each and every person will have at least one experience in their lives that jolts it into them....this time may come for you or it may not. Either way, I wish you the best my friend.

To have a good conversation, is to have two sides. The conversation's might get turned into debates, but even so, I think you get a new or fresh idea of where people are coming from. The fact that I'm not religious does not mean I have been this way my whole life. But as I grew and learned as a person, I developed new beliefs.

Good! Keep looking, keep an open mind and find out what is there for you. I believe that each person as a "spark" of God in them. We can keep it there, or it expose it and see how bright it burns. I am learning so much while worshiping and studying at the Coptic Center. May be a good place for you to learn as well. They teach and encourage each person to decide for themselves what the feel is right for them.

Sounds like a very excellent program and wonderful teachings going on there.

You look happy---that is good. Have you studied spiritualism at all?

I consider myself spiritual, and it's not that I wouldn't want to believe in something such as God. I just don't see myself ever believing in such a thing.
I beleive in the good of other people. I am gonna go to school in the fall and take psychology and sociology, and I want to get into social work. I have had a pretty hard life, have lost alot of friends at an early age, and have been through so much. I would like to be able to help others who have had it just as hard or even harder. The only person you can truly judge in life, is yourself.


laugh laugh Join the marines or the army. When combat is imminent, it is amazing how many ppl I have heard espouse this theory suddenly appear at church, start studying the bible, etc. It seems like when we are in imminent danger of death or dismemberment, we all turn to God to hope for some sort of protection.
good point!

i've never had anyone take a testimonial i sent them and make it a thread.....that is so awesome.....you rock Iam, i knew you would appreciate the testimonial.....it's sometimes hard to remember that God loves us no matter what but when you do remember it, it makes those hard time easier to get through...:heart:
