rampage
once in a while, i will go on a google rampage and read up on religion related stuff. Today is one of those days. here's what i found:Catholic Church no longer swears by truth of the Bible
THE hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true...

wow.. this is old news. wonder if its for real, as in the internet source. Anyway. i didn't know of this. Its been years since i read the catholic news.
And there is this blog i frequent... and i found this post with a very nice discussion with a christian. I mean, he is actually quite cool, and polite and when he talks about christianity, you do respect him for his beliefs. First and foremost, he doesn't force his views down anyone's throat:
"I know that most Christians try to convince people of things, however I prefer to tell people my understanding of what Christianity is, what the Bible says, and what I have experienced and then let them hash it out for themselves. It is your life and I fully intend to let you live it. If God has seen fit to let you make up your mind for yourself, then I certainly will not interfere."
Maybe somewhere at the back of his mind he might just be thinking that we are doomed to burn in hell. kidding..
and then he says this later...
"To be completely honest with you, I would probably be agnostic or atheist if it were not for this experience. I find the Bible to be very difficult to understand and agree in places. I probably agree with you guys on more things than I agree with my fellow Christians on. Despite this, I cannot explain the things which have happened to me adequately without some sort of exterior involvement. It defies my logic but there it is."

Anyway i recently had a christian friend who was trying to convince me of his beliefs. It became quite a heated discussion later on when i simply refuse to believe his stuff. I mean, seriously, the way he was presenting his stuff, totally archaic.
Matt would have been way more convincing!
