My type? Have I ever once stated my beliefs to you or anyone else in this forum? I'll wait right here for you to go dig that up and then we shall continue this conversation....

Are you, all of a sudden, ashamed to be a Christian or to be a Republican?

Sorry. Keep the 'Creation Story' in Sunday School where it belongs. If you'll learning how to work on a car, would you want the teacher to teach you about horse-drawn carriages? Keep nursery stories for babies not high school students.

Largest Religious Groups in the USA

84% from 1996 down tom 82% today, sorry for the minor error. Over 90% believe in GOD

Come on, tell me again how Cristians are dumb dinasors that don't matter? I'm waiting. Next time you and your pinko friends are in a room laughing at all those "stupid Christians", realize you are likely offending 90 out of 100 people!

It just really gets under your skin now don't it? Again, your boy messes this up and we go right back to the right wingers!

I believe in GOD but I'm not hardcore. In fact on alot polls and questionares I put down roman catholic as my religion, my dogtags even said that.

Point is I wonder how much percent of those 90% are the "hardcore" religious people.

Why can't evangelicals and fiscal (small government) conservatives unite under one banner? Why do people on this forum HATE evangelicals so much?
Um...because they want to shove their idea of 'God' down our throats?

You know how to find out if you are hardcore or not? When you take your last breath of air and are in your last moment of awareness on this earth. Who do you call out to? Everything else you do between know and then is trivial.

Many many athiests have gone this route. My uncle, a life long athiest, cried out to God in his final days of life as he died from cancer. The morning of his death he said God had come to him the night before and told him he was going to die that day and he did.

That is what made me a believer. But I'm by no means a bible thumper.

Thank God this forum doesn't represent the thinking of all Americans, even all young people for that matter. Internet forums are a very anti-Christian place. Ironic that you all are supposed to be an "enlightened generation" that is open minded, yet you won't tolerate any views but your own.

I don't want your believe in no God shoved down my throat.
