so what brought this along for u? funny how i was feelin the exact same way for a while. i prayed and asked for a sign and unexpectantly i got it. actually i got a few. so im back to believin i think.
Good! You'll probably be a much happier person, since you don't have to fear some invisible man in the sky anymore. :H
if you look for a sign, you will find signs. this is the case with almost anything. signs mean nothing if they are up to your interpretation. since when were you christian, jay?

i never said buddhist. i said i was readin about buddhism. i told u i was atheist and my parents were strong christians but i had lost faith since i was in high school, i remember exact ive read up on a lotta different religions/philosophies tho.
whatever man. fuck what everyone else is saying! i was a chrisitan for 24 years... my whole life... until a couple months ago... who knows maybe until right now. crazy shit man... i feel ya.
hi ryu, it seems that you find it impossible for any "true believer" to ever abandon the faith. your condescension, ... , is more than a little unfair. i, for one, used to believe completely of my own volition and was more christian than ned flanders for years. i've since become much more interested in a wider range of philosophies and have ditched christianity. just as you'd agree it's possible for an atheist or any non-christian to convert to christianity, you have to agree that it's possible for things to take a turn the other way also. sophia
Now you can study Platonic Metaphysics and not catch Hell from the old ladies in church. I'm a preacher's kid myself, but I'm also a Pagan who admires Christ, but not his followers. It's kinda like at summer camp, when there's that cool guy, but all those losers are following him around trying to be cool and catch his attention.... yeah.... I think it's all gotten kinda overboard and fucked up. You should sacrifice a goat or a small child at the alter next sunday, and shake some rattles too.... no one will know what's going on, but you can say they did it in the old testament, and therefore it's warranted in the church... Hell.... people are so dumb these days that I bet parents would pay you for sacrificing their child and bringing them closer to God.... Capitalism.... if you can't beat 'em.... sacrifice their young'uns and take their money..... Me? Well, I'm gonna just paint shit like DaVinci and Dali, and capitalize on my impressionist/surrealist art skills... but I'll throw in the pagan symbolism for those few who are in the know.... It was cool today at my grandmother's house because she had some rocks arranged in the EXACT position as a 7 pointed star.... I just stood in the middle and it was awesome... ah.......
