Easy man, lets try to keep this on a friendly level. People are explaining their beliefs and non-beliefs, lets try and keep the judgment to a minimum ok

thats the short list. all without your lord an savior.

an on the topic of complete ignorance, how many conversations have you had with a snake? or a burning tree for that matter.
Impressive list for sure. I disagree with what was posted that you responded to as well. There are tons of extremely worldly successful people who don't believe in God or Jesus Christ.

And with all honesty, it is likely easier for them to be successful in their careers than a true Christian.

A truly devoted Christian will not tell lies... not for fear of their job, family, or life itself. And quite honestly, there is likely no one in a position of power or wealth that has not told many lies on their path to worldly success. That's just reality.

Ok I admit it I'm a presumptuous ****, now what?

Seriously, I'm stirring the pot. As if anyone in here is more correct than the other. Hell I haven't been to church since I was baptized.

Well, I'm trying my best to explain what I believe. Can you do me the same? I really am interested.

I can show you absolute proof of both, the question is, will you be willing to accept it or will you be one to dismiss scientific evidence as "made up"?

Hey while there are so many experts on this thread....I have a question.

Is Mormonism the same as Christianity?

No, I am asking everyone to try, thats all.

I fully expect someone of the religious side to come in here and give the old "well your a ***, god hates you!" thing to me. However for now everyone has been rather civil, why be the first to set the bar lower?

He's doesn't give a crap about friendly.

But I appreciate your direction and enjoy such debates. To me if two people with opposing ideas come together to discuss and debate each with open minds a lot can be learned. If you come to a discussion with a closed mind then what is the point of joining the discussion in the first place.
