I'm sure we do. What are you, all of 19 years old? A lot of brilliance behind your wet ears, huh???

I was a christian. The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma. I am now a born again man and know true right and wrong and can save YOUR ass before you waste the rest of your life chasing your fears and running from your guilt for a place that doesn't exist. Step into my ring, child, and I promise you will be enlightened with truth. Think for yourself, use reason, common sense and everything we know to be TRUE and PROVABLE in this world to date. Stop letting Jerry Fallwell tell you how the world turns.
We cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can we believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotism.
For most people, religion is nothing more than a substitute for a malfunctioning brain.
examples:
The bible teaches that woman brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period of suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire...Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up. And what do we accuse the taliban of on this issue??
All who doubt or deny will be lost. To live a moral and honest life -- to keep your contracts, to take care of spouse and children -- to make a happy home -- to be a good citizen, a patriot, a just and thoughtful man, was simply a respectable way of going to hell.
God did not reward men for being honest, generous and brave, but for the act of faith. Without faith, all the so-called virtues were sins. and the men who practiced these virtues, without faith, deserved to suffer eternal pain
I was born before 1970. Wet behind the ears you say?
