Scott..Thank you for putting in a good word for me. I can use all the help I can get!!!

T: You really think that God can be described as having human frailities? God is all good as well as all knowing. It is the words of man that attempt to make God out as vengeful, vindictive, angry, all of which are human frailities. I do not wish to debate religion, but it is this idea that God can be defined in human terms with our limited intelligence that I truly find disturbing. Let all men believe as they please as long as their belief does not interfere with the rights and freedoms of others. God is far too complex a subject for my limited intellect.

Perhaps worthy of its own thread, but one of the conundrums of religion is the concept that a perfect God would create imperfection.

I respect everyone's right to believe as they wish. Just please do not try toconvince me that your specific brand of Christianity is the only true path to redemption. Ain't so, IMHO. COnsider that there are, according to some Christian churches, three kinds of baptism...water (with which we are all familiar), blood (giving up one's life for another) and desire (one who knew all the facts would choose Christianity). That may be the answer to redemption not being an exclusive club for some.

Follow the beatitudes if you want the true message Christ left us.
