Again I was not meaning to be insulting… nor put you down in any way… just hoped to give you some things to thing about…

Again, I know some who come from exactly where you are… and come to faith and saw a wholeness they never thought they even needed or conceived.

Be blessed,

For what its worth… don’t let sexual identity be they reason you choose not to pursue God.

I covered this already Iggy. Please do not think I am so shallow in my thinking that my sexual identity would influence my thoughts on a creator of the entire universe. Such an assertion is very insulting.

We’ve enjoyed your company. Stop in once in a while, even if for some humor!

For what its worth… don’t let sexual identity be they reason you choose not to pursue God. And most definitely do not other “Christians” behavior persuade you not to look into the claims of Jesus.

Just for some fun since you are into science and “proof” Josh McDowel has a few books called “Evidence demand a verdict” that might give some answer…

Also, I just ask to be open… listen also with your heart not just your head.

Be blessed,
iggy

I thank you for your hospitality, and your warm thoughts (and even the prayers that I don’t really believe in but love the warmth behind the thoughts).

Either way, you are all welcome to keep in touch with me via my site or my email…..also on my site.

Smiles!
Joe

most agnostics i know (and i am one) don’t disbelieve in God…

the late great Norman Mailer said something to the effect of “If we base our beliefs on the mere fact of our existence, then it’s not a stretch to believe in a God of some sort…”

that’s not the exact quote, but it kind of sums it up.

i, as an agnostic, sense that there’s far more out there than we’ll ever understand, but i don’t claim any firsthand knowledge of exactly what it is.

and my hunch, and this is just a personal thing, is that none of us will ever get it exactly right as far as belief structures, etc, while on this earth.

and most certainly any that claim the earth is only 10,000 years old.

Actually 10,265 years old.

As for the Atheist stuff, I might agree with you. I don’t believe in god because so far I have found no evidence the hints to the existence of god. Along with that, I tend to side with those who hold the view that some of the current religious beliefs are fairy tales and myth. Some, I hold stronger opposition to than others, like any of the faiths that refuse medical treatments and such, and most certainly any that claim the earth is only 10,000 years old.
