    That is definitely true. While I appreciate denominations for their ability to unite people toward specific goals, I often get frustrated at how much tradition plays a part in the answers people of one denomination gives or another. The differences seem to have somewhat cooled over the last half-century, and the focus seems to be trending more toward a simpler message with the esoterica left for intra-Church discussion rather than paraded about as the reason X denomination is stupid/inferior/whatever. For me, personally, the question of, "Is your community a better place for you being there?" is of far more importance than, "Do you believe in predestination?" That applies both for the individual, and a church, and any denominations. I'm much more concerned with whether they are feeding the poor, housing the homeless, educating the destitute (primarily secular subjects necessary for success; religious education on request), and otherwise improving the lives of others. That seems, to me, far more Jesus' message than "make sure your theology is better than someone else!" Granted, I think that understanding the Bible is essential to a Christian life, but mostly for me better understanding the expectations God has of me, not for my ability to dismiss, insult or demean others.

    but my impression so far has been one of curiosity to the beliefs of either the Church or myself, and I am grateful for that respect.
    The questions you didn't just ignore anyway.

    I just want to illustrate why the "life is impossible without god; just look at the perfect conditions it took for people!" argument is dumb.

    You have a bag of 2 kinds of marbles. There are about 2 billion of one kind and 10 billion of another. You need 1 set of different marbles to be between 49" and 49.5" away from each other - what's the probability that when you drop the marbles, this will occur?

    The argument's fallacious composition has already been discussed several times. You are just flinging shit around like a mandrill because you're an asswipe.

    look, I get you are bitter about being a homophobe and are on your period. Not all of us can be gifted with things like understanding and logic.

    I was going to respond to his initial post, read it, saw it was shit, decided to watch other people waste their time instead. I don't have time to discuss things with people who argue with scriptural evidence.

    Also, I have no interest in learning about christianity, I have spent the better part of the last twenty years trying to unlearn it, and its working slowly. The other day there was a bible category on jeopardy and I knew all the answers and that made me sad
