Dan,
But isn't also not for you to judge? The "with me or against me", sounds like it is for God to decide what is truly in my heart and not the thread. I believe the bible also says that these things are his to judge and not the ASK God thread.
Again, I think it does not have to be an "US against them" situation, although religion does seem to promote that to an extent. It is one of the problems I have with religion. IMO, there is no us and them in god's eyes. There is just an interconnectivity of all things, with the commmon denominator of all things being God.
Before you go quoting the bible at me again, I am telling you what I think here, not asking you to follow or believe what I say. My original comment was aimed at telling you that I am NOT trying to run your beliefs down, just trying to explain how and why we think differently.
IMO, it is possible to make those explanantions without drawing a line in the sand.
