  I feel many people refuse to believe in the bible out of fear.

  Lol, really, people need to believe in it because of fear. Fear of non-existance.

  I wish Jesus as you see him was true, that'd be very nice.

  So, what you're saying is my archaeology professor believed in Early Hominids because of fear?

  How religions change their mind By William Kremer BBC World Service

  interesting article.

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-22250412.

  i don't know why we sometimes have trouble expecting there will be 'nu lite', apparently all religions have been getting it since the start of time.

  History shows that any religion that refuses to change dies out

  -------------------

  Yup, they know what they're doing.

  They all do.

  I quit both too, Comatose.

  I often think back to that day when I was drinking at the last DC and realize the snapshot caption would be: One problem down, one to go.

  i thought it was time for a formal introduction.

  i've lurked here for literally years, sometimes posting sometimes not.

  but i've never told my story and now seems as good a time as any.

  Thanks for sharing. I agree with you on the silent fade.

  I ran into an old friend recently that had the short term triumph of telling off an elder. That was years ago he said... still disfellowshipped. All his family in it... the consequences have lasted for years. Probably not worth it for most people.
