Okay, this might do it. I'll speak for all of the Christian freaks now. I am a Christian. I smoke cigarettes, 'bout a pack a day, I drink beer and cocktails and get wasted and puke everywhere constantly, i swear like a trucker, i have had and will have much more pre-marital sex. I don't preach about my religion or force it on others, I lead by my own 'good' example, and never once mention God or religion to others, unless someone asks me personally and seriously, without me ever bringing it up. I don't sit on street corners throwing Bibles at people and telling them their religions are wrong (Do you want other people throwing Buddha Statues at you and sya that you are not enlightened and you will never make it to your 7th life?) and I dont spread joy and happiness and want to 'praise the lord' every chance I get. I don't tell people to 'come to my church' because it's a bible church and yours isn't; I dont think that Catholics will go to hell because they believe in Saints and worship the Virgin Mary. I don't get up on top of lunch tables in between classes and spout about fire and brimstone and hell OR how everlasting peace and joy is found through God and Jesus. I am not perfect, I will not strive to be perfect (thus striving to be like Jesus=God), for I am happy with who I am and what God has made me. God wants me to be happy on Earth, so I will be by doing what pleases me, because when I am pleased he is too. Think of that. I dont' Evangelize to everyone on the street because 99-100% of the people actually listening will not become a Christian because of the silly people preaching on the streets, do they want to become like that? Or let me rephrase for the internet, Fredrik and Moose do you really think anyone is going to want to become a Christian because of your 'flagrant happiness and pushy ways of God giving forgiveness' on everyone? No, they think your a Christian freak and be glad that they aren't one. On the other hand, I havent said one word until now cause its making a bit sick; I the normal Joe or whatever dont go around preaching about love and eternal live or damnation or God at all, unless someone directly asks me in an honest serious question, why are you so happy, why is your life so good. If they truly want to know, I might tell them about God, if they are interested, if not, I shut up and pass it off as if nothing happened. I haven't read the whole Bible, in fact I've only read about half of the Old Testament and a Book or tow in the New; which is actually more than most 'Christians' who want to automatically get into a quoting debate about what this and that means. Frankly, I don't give a fu ck about your views and if I did, I wouldn't argue with you and try to change your mind. It's sad, but unavoidable that one day, you will become disillusioned and your entire faith will not just be tested but demolished. It's human nature to say, especially when you're young, 'not me! my faith is too strong, i will be perfect forever!' So I don't care about those silly responses, don't bother. And if it truly doesn't happen, either congratulations you are Jesus, or you never lived. Don't bother to comment or respond to this, because I will not respond back or speak of this again. It is an old subject and detrimental to what this board is supposed to be about, the Pocket PC. If you really care about Christianity or God or Jesus or Evangelism, shut up and lead by example not empty words.
