Mr. unpronounceable said "To people who are on this site who are against religion like myself,you have thoroughly shown and proven part of the reason that we hold such sentiments" Note the word "part". The behaviour of (many) Christians *does* provide a reason to doubt the faith (albeit not a decisive reason). No matter how you nuance it, Christianity makes the claim that believers are in some sense "new creatures in Christ" whose lives in some sense testifies to the grace of God. Holiness is one of the putative marks of the Church. If a nonbeliever looks at the lives of Christians and *doesn't* see any hint of holiness, they will naturally be skeptical about the existence of transforming grace, no? -scattered > On Feb 13, 12:48 pm, [email protected] wrote: > > > > > Semi-literate?I'm very intelligent.I have an I.Q.
