Sounds like you have a lovely family. I was given your website through my Sunday School class....yes, a "religious" one! While "religion" can be organized to the point of dysfunction, "relationship," especially with Christ, is where its at. It is my prayer that you never experience religion, but that you come to the peace that passes all understanding through Christ who brings salvation and forgiveness of sins. Your precious spirit would be dynamic for the kingdom of God!!! God bless you as raise your family. May you always wear the garment of praise and the oil in gladness in your life. Greetings!

It is against the constitution's Freedom of Religion to try and christianize this nation. If God refuses to force Himself on people then why do christians give themselves that right. Most christians would rather convert you then simply be your friend. As soon as you state your agnostic you might as well put a target on your back. Hard core evangelical christians treat evangelism like some kind of sport. I find it easier to get along with non-religious people and that is plain sad. Most christians love to argue for the sake of pride and winning rather then because they genuinely care. Who cares how the world came into existence? Why can't christians live out their faith? Most christians are all talk and no action. Most christians don't care enough to get to know their neighbors. Most christians live the same lifestyles as non-christians filled with divorce, anti-depression medication and unethical business practices. The funny thing is that I am actually a Christian and I am a Bible College graduate too. I totally agree with you.

Who cares how the world came into existence? Why can’t christians live out their faith? Most christians are all talk and no action. Most christians don’t care enough to get to know their neighbors. Most christians live the same lifestyles as non-christians filled with divorce, anti-depression medication and unethical business practices.

The funny thing is that I am actually a Christian and I am a Bible College graduate too.

Well, I hope all goes well with you and your family. Thanks for the great blog! PS I haven't been around for a while, and I see that there's at least one other user here also using the name "Dan".
