If something cannot be empirically proven I do not 'believe' in it. I admit there is a possibility that it exists, but that's all. There is no point in having faith. It goes against one's survival instinct and is therefore dangerous...so no! [/quote] I propose to you a question. If I show you how to find Father, will you do so? [/quote] Certainly. But if he's invisible and silent I'm going to have a problem with that...fire away :-) [/quote] Lord willing, read Acts 2:38, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38, John 14:26 and Romans 8 KJV. Now, lets see if I can finally find an atheist that puts their money where their mouth is. Not one of them has yet. :) [/quote] I re-read those chapters as I enjoy reading the bible much like I enjoy reading the book of thoth or the necronomicon. I don't 'believe' in any of those books. They're just fun to read. I'm sorry mate, but if 'the father' has to resort to the printing press to get his message out then he's a pitiful and apathetic father. When I want my son to do something I tell him myself and if I happen to leave him a note asking him to do something, he'll do it because he knows I wrote it. If my neighbour writes a note (on my behalf) telling him to do something I won't blame him if he doesn't. In f act I would commend him for not doing it. Religion is very comforting to you I'm sure, but that doesn't make it true. :-) [/quote]
Original Message
This is truly a chilling question, because it causes us to consider whether we would have the strength and courage to profess our faith in the face of death.
I'm sure most of you remember Columbine, when members of the "trench-coat mafia" asked students if they believed in God before they were shot to death. Have you ever put yourself in that position, and pondered what you would do?
I cannot honestly say what I would do, I'd like to think that I would be brave enough to state my beliefs. What about you?
