Incubision - that's a great site too!John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by stupidity, oh wait - no, ME! Damn.
The trouble is, that if you have any intelligence, you have to keep it under deep sedation with church, bible study and prayer. If that won't work, gradually you'll come to your senses, and then you'll leave.
Diamond, that is absolutely dead on.that instant of doubt alone would instantly and permanently sever him from God and doom him to eternal torment after death. One day he found himself at Mass and abruptly realized the fact that the wafer was just a wafer, and instantly then realized that this meant that he was OUT. In a way, he found this very liberating, because once he had done the deed, he felt free to actually think about religion, examining it and other topics freely without having to try to carefully restrain or curtail his thoughts from going in forbidden directions.

Shadows, it's a good read -- Alda is a cogent, insightful, and witty writer -- but be prepared for some sad, heavy stuff regarding his family life.

He's right. Nobody comes to Jesus by rational thought processes. They come to Jesus out of emotional need.
“Any hope that America would finally grow up vanished with the rise of fundamentalist Christianity. Fundamentalism, with its born-again regression, its pink-and-gold concept of heaven, its literal-mindedness, its rambunctious good cheer... its anti-intellectualism... its puerile hymns... and its faith-healing... are made to order for King Kid America.” Florence King

Heck, Tracer, if we do that, we'll be accused of bulverism.

Damn straight.
You need a map, a compass, some shovels and a gravedigger before that'll happen.
If following Jesus means checking your brain at the door, and blindly accepting what everyone else tells you to do, I'm too far gone to be saved. My stepdad did that all through my childhood. I'm not interested in being anyone else's wind-up toy anymore.

Fap. Fap. Fap...! >:D [/mucky mind] X3

I suppose it was silly to expect otherwise of you, right?
