Default I\'m a believer

I just wanted to announce that I've come to have faith in God, and that I feel like it's made me a better person. I completely see the side of Not Ready and company, and for the life of me can't understand why I couldn't before. The truth of the bible is something that I now feel in my heart.

Christianity is about love, and I was moved deeply by some recent discussions with Josh W about it. The religion gets a bad reputation because of its history of violence against nonbelievers, but those who performed the atrocities in question were not true Christians. You can't fault the tool for the workman's misuse. Many who say that they live by the word of God are not truly walking in the proper footsteps.

I plan to live the rest of my life more happily and freely than the first 29 years, as now I have God with me in my heart. The emptiness of atheism marred my life up until now, and the intellectual superiority complex that I had to go along with it is something that I can do without.

Just to clarify what I did and did not say....

"Christian" people do "non-Christian" things all the time....nobody's perfect. I don't want to be quoted saying that "true Christians" never do anything wrong (wrong = non-Christian).

Hope that makes sense.

Josh
