Gabe OK, if it will make you happy I'll personally apologize to you for all the dumb things Christians have done and the dumb things they've told you. I believe in evidence and I think the Bible does too. Here is one Bible passage I like... (1 John 4:1) "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." Test! Evidence! Common sense! There are a lot of charlatans out there so be careful! <--Warnings like these make sense and are found throughout the Bible. If someone told you Christianity is about turning your brain off and believing 1+1=4 my apologies. Chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
