Dont let me hinder you from posting up what you want to post. As long as its respectful and not inflamatory, dont let me stand in your way. I read posts on here all the time that get me to re-evaluate my positions as well and I enjoy that.
I hold to Abraham Lincoln's philosophy in which he stated I will hold to one postion until someone shows me the value in another. Im open minded to the point that, I am willing to say that in the light of new information I have not considered, that perhaps my position is wrong. With my faith, thats not the case and the one subject that I will defend but its not a touchy subject to me, I believe what I believe. I dont believe in ramming it down anyone elses throat either. I'll do my preaching through example as that will speak louder than any sermon or debate that I can give. But dont let that prevent you from posting up your view.
I may not agree with it and there's always the chance I'll post up my counter view, but I wont attack anyone because of that, its not only ridiculous to do but its also counter productive.
Ive seen enough, studied enough to convince me to come from the 'other side' as it were. I was very much anti-church, anti-religion, anti-christian for many years of my life. There was a point in my life, in fact, that I worked with a guy who was very much a devout Christian, that I tried everyway under the sun to get fired. But there came a point that when I sat down and considered the arguements, and did my own studying that I concluded my stand was far from the correct one.
But thats my decision, my conclusions and so on. I cant force anyone else to give in to my reasonings. All I can do is present my case not only in a written form such as this but also present my case in the way I live my life. My life, ultimately, was not changed by an argument or factual evidence, it was changed in that manner, by the life of another that talked the talk but also very much and perhaps more so walked the walk.
