Arrow Hmm...

Everyone who is Christian is not some religious zealot/fanatic. There are crazies everywhere in every religion. You shouldn't judge a group of people based on a select few.

I believe in God, I'm a Christian. I'm proud to say I am. I try not to judge people, but I'm human, we all make mistakes.

I realize that people like Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart have tarnished Christianity, but God knows what's going on, He will take care of everything. I trust Him to do so.

I believe Tammy Faye has given Christianity a good name in that she doesn't judge and loves everyone.

I don't put my faith in people, they let you down. God's the one I talk/pray to, not people who claim to know Him.

Faith is the evidence of things unseen...

Well said Christy...ITA...

Also I like the quote from City of Angels which goes something like, "Some things are true whether you believe in them or not"

I like that.

I knew what ya meant anyways, So no prob-lem-O...

And to clarify myself I am talking about those religious folk her in Oklahoma who seem to think they ARE the chosen few, And they can commit as much sin as allowable by law and still be allowed into "Heaven" when all is said and done.

Trust me, this is the ONE thing I hate about living here in the heart of the Bible Belt...Yer not allowed to "go against the grain". (I found it funny as hell when religious protesters picketed the 2003 Fleetwood Mac show in OKC...They think Stevie is still a witch??? Bwahahahahaha!!!)
