It was headed in the direction and I was trying to avoid it. It is not my cup of tea to be preached to and condescended to. You have turned this forum into your own testimonial grounds. I have no doubt that you turn people off to god. I do not believe that this is what your god had in mind when he said to spread the word. As I recall, Jesus didn't force his beliefs on anyone. He had "followers". People who wanted to hear his stories went to him, or they went to homes where letters were read about him.
But, now you'll just come back with some scripture that says something different because the bible contradicts itself anyway. :shrug:
