"people who know Jesus"

And who would that be exactly?

Often to the traveling salemen, or missionaries, I remind them of the wise words of often their own Bible, beware false prophets.

And then I ask them why I should believe their, uh, fantastic stories over the next guy knockin on my screen door looking to save my soul from eternal damnation.

Needless to say, they believe that is the test, and that of course they know the true answer, and everyone esle is just wrong.

No I don't believe I ever said that. I simply said that I personally am skeptical of it all. I am in no position to tell you what he did or did not do, close friend of Jesus, because I don't know.

If asked I would tell him I used to be Christian. Most of my life up to this point I have been surrounded with Christianity. All I ever knew was Christianity. I was always told Islam and Buddhism and all other religions besides Christianity were evil and controlled by Satan himself. As I grew up a little bit everyday I started to realize how ridiculous all of this was.

I know christianity has its good morals but it is like many also think, a human construct and method of feeling that empty void in all of us. Know one really knows why it is there but none the less it remains there. So people indulge in fantasy to such an extreme level to call it reality. A reality that is just as valid as the Matrix or Santa Clause.

Does the Matrix have you?!? lol jk

I would say I'm not a Christian because I'm a homersexual.

And what if you are wrong little buddy? What if you picked the wrong religion?

Do we have a parting gift for the poor lost soul?

Excuse me? I pick on no one, if someone wants to make a claim on a open debate forum, I might point out that their foot is in their mouth.

And age is irrelevant, when you learn to think for yourself should not be postponed.
