I've tackled problems with Christianity for a solid decade now. My grandparents, during my pre-teens and early teens took me to a Pentecostal church whenever I visited them. I always hid my dread at going to church once every Wednesday and twice on Sunday. For the longest time, even though I tried to suppress the feeling, I felt the church itself was.... wrong. This nagging feeling had me thinking I might be possessed, and that's why I avoided going up front to be prayed upon at all costs. It was the worst feeling spiritually that I've ever felt, everytime someone "prophesied" or "spoke in tongues" or otherwise went into (what I can now boldly and comfortably label) a borderline psychotic episode.

Quite a while ago, I found this site of essays, and they sufficiently answered all the right questions for me. By no means am I an expert on the subjects at hand, but Ray's arguments against mainstream Christianity make both logical and spiritual sense. They've been a great help. I can better distinguish between the foolishness of this world, and the righteous glory of God. I also now realize that the foolishness of this world serves a high cause.

I've been chosen. I'll try to not be too prideful of that fact.

Love, peace, and blessings to you all in the name of Jesus Christ,

Hello Superman!

Welcome to The Forum. Always nice to see another Superhero realize his True Destiny.  :D

PS: Look out for vampires! I think I've scared most of them off, but every now and then, another one pops out...

Hi Superman,

Welcome to the forum, lots of great stuff and some challenges to keep you on your toes.
Btw whatever happened to that jar of kryptonite Lex was running around with ??? ;D.

I know what you mean about the Pentecostal Church, that was one of my many stops
while on the run from God. Still remember the weird feeling when i looked around at
people gyrating and yammering; i always thought something was wrong with me because
i did not ever once feel anything but what is going on here ???. Glad we both made it out
in more or less one piece  :o.

george ;D.
