>>>It can only be blasphemy if the faith you are

>> What the Hell would I have to lose?
>Matthew Bell
>By the time is will already be lost.
>>Dave Gaban
>> BTW Matt, I don't believe in Lucifer, Satan,

>Matthew Bell
>He already 'has' you.
Ok, ok, ok, ok, ok...let's just coooooooooool off!
Phew!
Now...It looks like we've just degenerated into
personal attacks. I would have to honestly say
that both sides here have done this, although Matt
has better ammo, since he can call on the fear
tactic of conjuring up an image of Hell.
Personally, I'd like to get back to the subject of
errancy.
I was hoping for xtian responses to my posts "the
second try" & "tempting OR praying". I hope none
of you xtians think I've closed my mind. I'm still
seeking answers and new questions. I've found good
answers to some. I can get more xtian responses in
other lists, but they usually consist of threats of
Hell, being kicked off the list, or just the cold
shoulder. (btw - answer said posts to the list please.)
Well...I'm goin' off to church with my family... :)
