As most of you should know by now, I'm a firm believer in the Christian Faith. I know that God was our creator and that he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. I am a Christian and nothing will change that. This is what I also believe. I believe that everyone has a right to their own beliefs. I believe that people can pick and chose who they want to worship. People can also choose not to believe. I believe it isn't my place to tell people what they should or should not believe in. I also do not believe that just because you are not a Christian you must be a bad person. Jesus said hate the sin but love the sinner. I have several friends that are athiest and others that believe in other religions. If that makes them a better person then great. I guess what I am trying to say is that I'm not judging anyone for what they believe. |

Makes sense, you don't believe you can control your life either. By your own admission so I really don't think that I'm putting words in your mouth here. |

You are a Christian and nothing would change that? |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
I hate to see you go, as there is a huge shortage of Christians here. I've been arguing it up with Atheist here for over 2 years. It's all a learning experience and both sides learn from one another. I can remember a formidable opponent that was a very intellectual and I really like to argue it up with him. The guy name was Tsen, I haven't seen him around in over a year but we had some very good battles and because of him and Universal Mind, my entire knowledge of Evolution has increased. That's what it's all about. I accept portions of evolution and I'm very aware that some instances has transpired but not on the level that most of these Atheist preach about but it does and has transpired under certain circumstances. I point out the flaws in their beliefs in the same fashion that they point out flaws in mine. However the only flaw they have with me is the fact that I cannot produce God and prove his existence, in that same instance they cannot prove that he doesn't exist. So it's no real loss there. There is really no evidence that stacks up against an intelligent designer. Most Atheist are set out try and intimidate and belittle. What happens here is that most evolutionist like to pick parts of evolution and say this is "fact" this part is also "fact" look at these fossils they are also "fact" so in light of this the entire theory of evolution has an insurmountable amount of factual information that's consistent with this theory, however, when you put it all together as it should be then what happens? It becomes inconclusive and it doesn't work. When you really step back and look at it all you have both sides arguing with nothing to really support any real evidence that is 100% full proof. So why argue? Because it's intellectually challenging and a lot of fun, especially when you know most Atheist are easily controlled and is very emotionally unstable. It's fun to see one lose it and start calling you all sorts of names because he's pissed that you said something that pushed him in a corner. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama
Infinitly greater than you are... Damn that missing E.
Your post was written with friendly intentions, and I want to give you some friendly and very important advice in return. I assure you... Dreams CAN be controlled. I do it all the time. I quit posting for the most part in the lucid dream forums because it's the same stuff over and over, mostly newbies asking the same few questions ad infinitum. I will probably start sharing my lucid experiences again soon, though. I promise you that you can learn to control your dreams. It's not just that easy to master, and there are limits to how much a dream can be controlled, but lucid dreaming is a reality. You can bet the farm on that. |

How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
Can you give an instance of when you've ever pushed somebody that's arguing in favor of evolution into any sort of corner? I would really like to see that. |

That's a lot of information to dig through but you have the capabilities to check my posts and my rebuttals if you're so adamant about seeing it, do yourself a favor and search for it. Don't expect me to hand you something whenever you ask for it. |
