I'm going to get my Southern preacher side on here for his one...
*ahem*
I was checkin' my e-mail, and I stumbled upon one of the worst websites I have evah seen. No kiddin', it was the worst, as bad as sites that display sin. But the content wasn't pictures, oh noooo, brothers and sisters, the content was text. In this website, the author(s) tried to "prove" that the Bible showed us all that religion was wrong. Tried to PROVE it! What kinda phony-baloney maniac would try to do that?
{Anthony suddenly realizes that he is behind a podium on a soapbox waving his fist in the air, about to bring it crashing down on the podium. Problem: no one is listening.}
What am I doing up here?
{gets down from soapbox, and resumes normal conversation.}
The website is http://bible-truths.com. I give you this website purely for your amusement. It may come in handy one of these days against some "I know the secrets of the Bible and you don't" freak.
God bless you all, and keep the Faith!

Hey dude,
You've lead a sheltered life if you think Bible-Truths is the worst site you've ever seen. I reckon you must have been exposed to so much glossy christian shyte-sites that you expect all God spots to be the same.
Granted, the site is dull and text heavy, but hey, if you read any of the 2000 pages, it certainly flies in the face of churchianity.
Personally I think it's a gem-of-a-site you son-of-gun! I have come out of christianity, with all it's peddlars, hypercrites and selfish doctrines (hmm, I guess I must have fitted in well) I just have a simple belief now...(bash!!! sheesh - just tripped over that soapbox you left lying around!) and that site talks some sense. Ray Smith - the author, has a very dry sense of humour and doesnt pull any punches in saying that the church is the synagogue of Satan! Go Ray!
I guess that makes me a fundamentalist nutcase, unglued and imbalanced with conspiracy theories a plenty- hey I could make the whitehouse yet!
Mind you, as I am a British Citizen, that's pretty unlikely to happen - maybe I'll just become governor of California instead.
Ah the glorious Good Ole U.S of A, we look upon you with great awe, and aspiration. Maybe one day, just one day our little nation could be as great as yours. Ah the patriotism, the flag-raising, the pledge, July 4th, Viet Nam, Bush and Bush the Sequel; America - there's more culture on my 6 week old yoghurt!
Anyway, maybe I should start a blog, I talk enough bullcrap - we could even be friends!
By the way, nice eyebrow.

Hello, Paul!
I have to admit, that it is not the worst site I've ever seen. (One of my many flaws is that I'm a huge exaggerater.) I've seen far worse -- it's just been a while. The Gospel according to Judas? That's so much worse than that site. I could keep going, but let's just say that there are more things than just that.
I would welcome the chance to discuss this issue more with you. One major thing that I see about a lot of former Christians is that they accuse religion as the source of the problems. It is true that false religions do have problems (theologically, philosophically, etc.), but the one true Faith does not have these kinds of issues. THe problems that the world sees with the Faith is caused by the people, not by the Faith. The hypocristy, the sinners, the peddlars, the pedophiles, etc., are not things of the Faith. These things come from people who twist the words of the Church to read how they want, or from other kinds of corrupt influences, i.e., even the evil one himself.
This probably sounds like I'm saying like I'm going on a tirade of gnosticism and self-justification, as though I'm perfect and I know all the truth. By no means do I profess any of that.
Anyway, if you believe that site is a gem, I question why you value "shyte". Since you entertain suspicions about me, allow me to return the favor. I suspect that you have fallen for Modernist heresies; the one that strikes me right now is that of relativism, where what's good for one may not be good for another.
Anyway, I hope that your shin is OK from my soapbox. :) I didn't mean to leave that lying around. I thought I put it away. I'll go sit in a corner for a while, and think about what I've done...
If you do start a blog, let me know! I'll look forward to you running for governor in CA!
Ciao! My e-mail address is on my blog if you want to contact me.
God Bless!
