You have no reason to defend Christ with me. I am open and supportive to your beliefs.

Just post what you believe, if you don't believe in anything simply put that you don't have any beliefs.

Thank you
Great response! I am glad to see someone that tries to be respectful of others beliefs. In some ways others may have said why they are here but with their actions showed many of them are here just to insult others.

Why I am here?
To learn and share what I have learned.

If god, jesus, etc. were 0.00001% as powerful as they are said to be, there would be no need to defend them or attempt to prove their existence.......... but since they ain't, we are left with mere mortals attempting to defend the absurdity of gods.
He's been speaking to you for years. Unfortunately, you appear to be hard of hearing. I hear Him just fine. Millions of others do too.

That's right. Millions upon millions hear their Creator speak to them. Curious that you don't.

My brother in faith, may I call you that? After all anyone who believes or has faith in something is my brother or sister in faith.

If you are here to defend Christ, do so in a manner that Christ would. He would noit attack those that do not believe. He would have compassion for them. Let's fallow his example together, if we do, nothing can mislead us.

Really?

Matthew 23

33 “You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell?

-Jesus, speaking to the Jewish leaders.

Nevertheless, at your request, I'll cease.

This sounds like the introduction to Star Trek.

I have to admit, it was a very inspirational TV show.
