Sorry to cut in, but as a Christian I'd just like to point out that I don't just believe what I read in the Bible, I live it. That might sound a little strange but I always seem to come across something that's completely relevant to how I'm living.
I find it difficult not to believe in God. A friend of mine had lactose intolerance, an hour later she didn't. Now I don't know much about lactose intolerance, but I don't think you can cure it that quickly - if there is a cure.
Don't believe in God if you don't want to - I'm not trying to force anything on you - but there's no reason why the rest of us shouldn't. And the Bible is not a "fantasy novel". It was written over the time of roughly 1600 years by at least 40 different authors. That's taking things a little more seriously than a Harry Potter novel, wouldn't you think?
I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm just trying to make a point. I'm sorry if I've offended anyone, but I'm standing up for my faith.
(EDIT: AspiringAuthorA.M., what have you done to ask for God's direction? PM me and I'll be happy to answer any questions you have about the Christian faith.)
Now... er... back on topic, no?
What do you say if you find yourself applying for a job in - *gasp!* - McDonalds, and are asked the question "did you ever lie to your parents as a child?"
"Ruth. She's alive because she is not dead, and junk." ~JoJo
Take the application back to McDonlad's, throw it in their face, laugh, and tell them to get a life.
What do you do when your friends are spazzes and think that your ex. is jealous when you know hes not but try to show you that he is anyway by making you sit near him without even telling you why you are doing so?
I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. - Robert McCloskey
Teacher: What do we, in the U.S enjoy from places like Mexico? Student: Wait, legally?
Depends if its night or day...if day, someone just scurry off...if night, someone just scurry off
Do you still think Pluto should be considered a planet?
John McClane: Drop it. It's the police. Tony: You won't hurt me. John McClane: Oh, yeah? Why not? Tony: Because you're a policeman. There are rules for policemen. John McClane: Yeah. That's what my captain keeps telling me
