Well, I am already out on a limb. What else do I have to lose. I am not afraid to stand on the other side of the fence against popular opinion here. Everyone here is not afraid to defend their beliefs venomously. So will I. I figure either way I am damned. I use my words I am scorned. I use Gods word in the Bible, I am put to the stake also. I can not sit by and say nothing and still be able to live with myself. I have tried to word myself carefully so not to condemn other peoples beliefs, but to only share mine concerning whatever was being mentioned, backing myself with the Bible. I have watched the Bible get picked apart, "discredited" (supposedly), including the Bibles authors and content. I have been accused of making assumptions, squashing others and bullying if I truly believe the way I do. My beliefs have even been called ridiculous. Beliefs I hold dear to my heart to be true. Yes I do believe God still exists whether you agree with me or not. What does that matter to anyone else? I have heard many beliefs. Many far from mine. I don't ridicule them and get my feathers ruffled because they do not agree. (I bite my tongue). I state my beliefs then watch the dirt fly. I can not make you have the same beliefs, and I am not going to try. When I stated "When we die and stand before God (or just plain die if you are an athiest) we will know which beliefs are true and which are bull crap." Meaning we will know what beliefs out of many were really right, including mine, and which were wrong; or whatever. I try to stay and be positive, patient, and considerate of others feelings here. I try to make a point to never mock, or ridicule someones beliefs because I don't like it when it happens to me either. I like to think that everyone is entitled to share their beliefs even if they are not of popular opinion here. I will not be bitter, but I would like to be treated with the same respect. Sincerely, Julie
