Spiritual but not religious?

I can.  I choose not to bother.

You think a lot of things.  I will leave you to them.

The important thing is that I'm pretty sure that you can't give me good reasons that challenge my position ... arguments that would trump my own arguments for holding the position. I am not interested in challenging your position.  You are entitled to it.

As you are to your position. However, it's not like you haven't made any claims about my position that I might consider offensive or at least challenging. It's clear that you disagree with me - The T may be right that my stance is sometimes too aggressive, but on the other hand I don't see much point in having a position and not arguing for it. I think the issue of religion is rather important, it's clearly not a minor thing.

It is no point arguing about religion you can never win - you either believe or dont - your choice - I do believe and nothing anyone will say will change that so whats the point of arguing. Until you are given a revelation of Gods love its pointless to think you will change your views. It has to be revealed to you in some way or you will never believe.

^ As far as belief in God is concerned I will never change my mind there. It is ingrained deep within me and I have experienced some incredible things when i was on a missionary trip - things that would astound you if you were there. but I dont need evidence I knwo that i know and that should be celebrated not shunned. i see many pple on this thread trying to impress their popinions intellectually and its futile as God is interested in the heart not the intellect. You gove youtr HEART to him not your INTELLECT. I have met many educated fools with hearts of stone, but it is those with a soft heart towards God that make the decison to follow him and if you harden your heart nothing can break through until a revealing of Gods love is made. I used to be like you once i know it. And i was dead against religion or Christianity but i was an educated fool, when i opened my heart to God he came into my life and life was beautiful. darkness became light - it is my testimony and it is real.  and it is beautiful thing and it changed my life. I love God and i will never leave Him asd He will never leave Him. its not delusional its a relationship. i preached this message this Sunday would you believe about the lost as i was speaking at my church, it was a powerful time.

OK fair enough i am glad you see it that way

Person B: *quietly to self* Yes, I have assimilated another! I win the game! Seriously, why does every forum have these kinds of threads. Does anyone actually believe there is even the slightest chance of the above scenario?

I don't try to convince anyone to believe in God, and I don't wish to argue about whether or not God exists.  All I ever do is comment when an issue of biblical interpretation arises.

We stick to the political head butting.
