I'm not sure where to start, but I promiss to keep it short. As a matter of faith, it's hard for me to accept a book that if another alien race were to read, would sound more like a fairy tale than truth. I am not calling the Bible a fairy tale, but I am comparing it to one. The basic story of the Bible I believe, and accept. The way to God is through His son Jesus. Ok. I can live with that. I accept that as truth. Is smoking pot a sin? Some say yes, some say no. Personally, I don't care. I don't smoke it, so it doesn't affect me. Some say that smoking a cigerette is a sin, that whole treat your body as a temple thing. I think they're full of it. Obey the laws of the land. Does that mean that if I speed on the street, technically I am indangering my enternal salvation? Doubt it, but whatever. When the Bible ceases to sound a bit loopy to me, which may come with age(read: the closer I get to death) I'll fully accept it as Truth.

There is a God. He isnt the angry, vengeful God everyone makes Him out to be. He loves us.

Love Him back. That's all that He wants. Love Him back.

I have no reason to feel weary of you. I might not bring up the subject of religion around you in person, only to save both of us a whole bunch of time better spent on countless other things. Don't hessitate to pick on me or razz me for whatever. I don't mind. I too was getting a little frustrated cause I couldn't get what I wanted to say out right. The other crap was just that, crap.I think that both of us were trying to get the upper hand in a battle of wits. Both of us brought a shotgun to this knife fight. It was bound to get a little ugly. Just enough for the other to know that we each believe basically the same thing. Basically.

Anyway, it's late and I have school, work, and drag strip tomorrow. Time for me to hit the hay. Later.
