All right, I have been ruminating about the last responses to my post (Dan, and I don't know, but is the second poster Tracy?- not sure), but here goes:

I was responding to some things I had read over the weekend and hadn't meant to start this, and some things I wrote have been taken completely out of context or misinterpreted (my fault)but since you guys have broached some topics in and of yourselves, I will respond.

Poster 2 quoted Thomas Jefferson, and here's where what I'm saying differs.
I completely agree with him. If someone says there is no god or twenty or that the moon is made of green cheese, or that they can run 500 miles an hour, what difference does it make to me? NONE. It makes no difference to me what that person thinks.

But let me reiterate: I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT ME.

Here's another paradigm and TRY to think through this and bear with me:

The REALITY is that there IS either no god, or one God, or twenty, or something.

The reality is that the moon is made of green cheese, or tofu, or rocks, or we are all imagining it, or some other alternative. What IS it made of? Well most people agree that the evidence is rocks. Before we could send anyone out there, we still believed it to be made of rocks, there was some proof of that, even though it was based on conjecture....but we did make some observations...

Likewise, I know that there is a reality, there is a God. I have seen evidence for myself. If others don't believe that, it is because they don't see that evidence, or I have trouble communicating it, or others don't want to hear it. One of those three. I can go into a lot of details communicating it, but if there are problems with the way I present it, it's just wasted breath. Or if others don't care to hear it, it is going to fall on deaf or unwilling ears. Or people who believe some other testimony, as in green cheese. Some people may believe for all they are worth that the moon is made of green cheese and I'm not arguing for their right to believe that. But the FACT is, it is not.

Now for the "young and immature" comment.
That was a response to my reading literature in which children and babies, they are carried into Heaven, they are too young to make any decisions like this, even though were they to live long enough they would mess up like the rest of us. And Jesus Christ says we are supposed to become like little children.

The gay/lesbian marriage thing- where did that come from??? People are reading a LOT into my posts I don't ever write or even imply! That just shows what the culture in general reads into Christianity. You don't come to it with a clean slate, just a lot of jaded thoughts due to what your preconceived notions already are...?

It does NOT matter to me whether you don't believe in God. I am not concerned that you agree with ME on anything! It is NOT ABOUT ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get it straight!
