It is nice to find a forum where people don't have to argue constantly about their view, knowing their view will not change no matter what the other person has to say.
I have a good feeling most of you have never read the entire Bible, let alone studied it. That is something I would say I AM pretty intelligent about, the Bible.
The universe and the galaxy amaze me, and every new scientific fact that I learn reveals even more the very nature of God.
Hell is a very real place, and the worst part about Hell is that it is the complete absence of God, which is something no man has ever experienced, because we have always been in His presence since He created the earth.
I don't claim to have all the answers, but with as much diginity as He can give me, I will respect any and all questions and queries and try to answer them with the knowledge He has given me.This may be a good test for your faith, if that's what you're after. If your particular invisible friend is up to this challenge, I expect you will have all of us joining the heavenly choir. Or maybe not.

I appreciate your input here immensely, and your style is more... er, consistent... yes, that's it... than the good Doc, who can go from "Miss Manners" to making Billy Sands or Diacanu blush in a New York Minute.

It almost seems like a permutation of Pascal's wager for you, Remnant. Spend some quality time on the Dawkins site; if you score a conversion, *BONUS*!! If not, what have you lost?
Sadly, in spite of all the reasonableness here, it's not your delusion.
