Mars, I appreciate your comment, but on this thread, I believe that you will be in the minority. IMO, in order to try and understand this Earth, and the creatures, including men, that habitate here, one's mind must be, totally, open to all concepts, and beliefs, in order to have some sort of understanding what those that disagree with your credo do believe, and why. There is some foundation for them to believe as they do, and in order for a person to find his true beliefs, he needs to understand why others think otherwise. That doesn't mean anyone should change his beliefs just because someone else believes differently, but if one is secure in his faith, what does it hurt to study the faiths of others? What we a find, in some people like brian, and james, are totally narrow minds that refuse to acknowledge that others have been allowed to believe differently from them. They even condemn other Christians to hell if they don't agree with their, tight laced, and rather odd, doctrines, even though Puritanism, and Preterism, are believed by a very minor contingent of the Christian faith. One thing I am happy about. As long as those two keep condemning me to hell, the more I believe I am on the right track, and if there is, and if I go, to Heaven, I will not have the inconvenience of running into either of them. :^)
