Hi Mate
Well I have had a quick look through the thread.
Have you had any replies 'yiksed'
E.G. >>Click to Make a Complaint
Click on this icon to make a complaint about a specific Posting<<
Has any one complained. If no that's a good guide as to if you have sc$£%&d up.
Don't worry after a thread of this size you would know by now. Anyway this has all been said before on H2G2 one way or another. If you want to make your point write an entry on the subject. I think you strongly believe but you resist heated debate, you are obviously a christian (ditto) and there is nothing at all wrong with that, just remember that there are others on H2G2 that are not. But fair and open debate is fine as long it is not personal or hurtful.

>>> I find it impossible to doubt the truth of the message about Jesus Christ<<<

So consider writing this entry. (check no one else has taken the challenge)

h2g2's Most Wanted
The life of Jesus Christ - and how it's described differently in each Gospel.

Now if I have not said anything to offend you I look forward to your comments.

Bob...

Hello Bob

Thanks for that.(not offended by anything you said!)

I've been thinking...I've never been good at debating stuff..not enough grey matter upstairs! But I do believe pretty strongly in the message about Jesus Christ. I'm not that well informed about church history either so I don't know how to answer people who start 'blaming' me for the Crusades!! (The sort of church history I love to read about is the inspiring bits like the Lewis Revival in the 1950s etc.)
I think I might concentrate on composing hymns/songs instead of debating with people...and leave the debating to those who are good at it. I get quite creative when I sit at my piano you know; perhaps I can make better use of my time that way.

Having said that, I know I'm going to find it hard to resist commenting on long conversations between atheists bouncing their ideas off each other!!

Speak soon, I hope.

Good for you just enjoy H2G2
smiley - erm I don't know how to answer people who start 'blaming' me for the Crusades!!

Where do you find these people I have never met any on H2G2. They must seek you out. smiley - smiley

Try harder and stay off the threads, you must go looking for them as I have never found any. And it is polite not to join a thread atheist or not without an invitation.

By if you want to put IHS smiley - orangebutterfly and the butterfly on your ps
it will tell people (who know) your a christian (I will explain if you wish) but http://www.fisheaters.com/symbols.html but this will do a better job. Keeps it less confrontational in a multi race multi faith group like H2G2.

That is all I have to say on the question of religion, as it affects us today as the subject is covered more than adequately on other threads.

How about doing that entry I will help if you like but you will do all the work.smiley - laugh

Keep in touch and keep those songs flowing,

Bob...
