Hi Sapphy! Been a while!

Yeah, I liked both of those.

Sapphira, you are a 6 foot tall person with a squeaky voice. The fact that I have never met you in person does not bother in the least.

Here's one of my person favorites:

"No, everyone is born Christian. Only later in life do people choose to stray from Jesus and worship satan instead. Atheists have the greatest "cover" of all, they insist they believe in no god yet most polls done and the latest research indicates that they are actually a different sect of Muslims."

Priceless. Apparently I'm a Muslim.

Oh man. I checked out fstdt.com. Wow. Just wow. I am at awe at the sheer ignorance of some of those quotes.

I'd agree I got a chinese fortune once that I always kept - it said, "Doubt is the beginning, not the end, of wisdom." very true.

there's more to my religious story than I let on though; I wasn't sure you'd want to hear my life story ~laughs~ ...but I felt that Satan and hell were more of a "fear tactic" to keep people doing as they're "supposed to" than something that I honestly believed in. after that... I couldn't very well believe that Jesus Christ died as my savior, when I didn't believe in the hell he was saving me from...so that was that. I still base my personal faith heavily on christianity, and I'm very spiritual, but I can't call myself a christian, and since I don't have an organized religion I associate myself with, I can't consider myself religious either.

so anyway, /endrant - that's my story.

that circular fallacy I see more as another sort of tactic to keep people in the faith. I hated it as a matter of principle, but it wasn't the groundbreaking one.

it's very true indeed.

...and it's a big part of why I'm no longer christian - I figured that out once I started thinking for myself.

I'm totally going to use that picture, too.

I just wanted to say one thing, in regards to this picture:
