Darwin Bedford,

Thanks for replying, but you have left my question unanswered.  Why are you so vehement against Christianity, as expressed in the Bible?  I do not accept the Roman Catholic Religion or condone anything they do or have done, because they do not follow the teachings of the Bible.  A big mistake that many of you atheists make is that you clump all of religion together and blame all sorts of things on that one group.  I adhere to the Bible, therefore I do not condone the Crusades, the Inquisitions, and all the other 'horrible' things that have been done in the name of Christianity.  Someone who is truly following the teachings of the Bible would never torture someone to 'convert'.

If you want to get angry, get angry at Catholics, or Muslims, the latter being the most violent in our society.  Their mentality is rather cruel...join us or die.  Examples of this are evident in Sudan, Pakistan, Iraq, Iran and many other Islamic countries.

You say that God does not exist.  Picture this if you will.  A large circle.  Let's say that that circle represents all of the knowledge and information in the universe.  Everything we know, or could know is represented in that circle.  Let's say that you know an amazing 1% of that knowledge and information.  Is it possible that in the remaining 99% there is ample evidence to prove God's existence?  Be honest.

So please tell me, what convinced you that God does not exist?

Thanks,

Dear J******** D****,

It would be incorrect to say that I am angry at God since God is only an

imagined fantasy.  People trying their best at adhering to the word of the

Bible has wasted millions of lives.  Don't let it waste yours too.
