also true.
religion was and always has been a way of controlling man.
It drives me crazy to see intelligent ( and sometimes non-intelligent) people throw their lives away, waste their time, etc because of someone's interpetation of a Fictitious book which consists of campfire stories passed down by an un-educated society from 1000's of years ago.
We need to let religion just go away and get on with life.

I don't think that car was ever even started. It was trailered to every show and pushed to where ever it was supposed to sit.
If it ever did actually run, it never generated enoug boost to make the blower worth the cost. And I doubt they ever hit the NOS!
What kind of engine management did they have?? None...
Hell, even the DG car (which is for sale) blew it's motor and they had a well tested turbo kit on the car. Although that speaks more of the install than anything else, but that car rarely made any runs too.
In all seriousness, I believe in God and pray all the time. What I don't do is put other people down because of their beliefs.
If you don't believe, then don't. There's no reason to call every person in the world who prays to god an idiot or stupid. I'm definately no holy-roller and to be honest I only go to church about twice a year, but reading a chapter of the Bible makes me feel a little less like snapping after a bad day. For that reason alone, it's worthwhile, IMO.

Ta Da! Tru Tru. Its like people want to see other people fight about this topic. I believe but don't go to church - AT ALL. All I have to know (IMO) is he is there and thats it. He has never helped me once. I am in the depest hole you can find and guess what he will say, Find A Way Out. What is he going to do give me a push to get out or throw me a rope? We make are own decisions, not him. Why would GOD decide the fate for someone when we are the ones making it. IMO when you confess your sins, all you are doing is telling someone what you did so it can come back to you in the end. Look at it this way: When one dies your just one step closer to the ground. Know who lives down there, take a guess. Just like my saying says at the bottom.

Woops got a little carried away there. Supposably religion is what leads up to God. All he would would want is for everyone to live there lives the way they want w/ or w/out religion.
Well, here goes nothing........I believe in more than "God" or someone to be "prayed" to when things get a little hot. I believe Jesus Christ who was sent by the Father and who left the Holy Spirit as the counselor after He left. I go to church at least three times a week. Is it because I'm a holy roller? Or am I trying to look good to others and rub it in everyone face? No! Its because I want to. Its because there must be a greater being and it has been proven to me that Jesus is He. He saved me and has given me hope and I want to learn and know more about Him. I am a youth pastor and work with teens hoping to spare them from what this world has to offer (well, I guess I won't be invited to anymore protege meets in b'ham AL...crap!).
I'm not writing this to put anyone down. I know it happens in Christianity but that its not right. My best friend since 8th grade is Muslim. We still hang out.
There is proof for Christianity....overwhelming proof. I can give some but I think I'll let this post go up first.
This is probably what I'm about to get for this post.....(direct) (flame2) (dark) ......well, you win some and loose some (i've been loosing more lately)

All power to you. I am Catholic, not "full blown" like people like to call it. I have Christian friends I talk to. Everyone I hang out with is different in thier religion and faith but that doesn't stop us from being ourselves. Thats what makes it so great. Hey, I'll invite you anywhere no matter what happens.
(2thumbs).
I was raised catholic, and as I got older questioned my reloigion and ended up in a non denominational christian church, tried that for awhile and did my own research and soul searching. As of today is still carry alot of the christian values but I've learned that the greatest gift we have is to experience life as it is, and we should appreciate the fact that we have a choice to believe whatever we want. IT is YOUR life and you experience it according to what you believe. For some people they need to focus there energy on religion in order to justify there ways, but in no means should one be forced to believe something against his will. I believe that you create your own reality...once we all realize that we could enjoy life and it's many beautiful lessons, and experiences and stop arguing, fussing and fighting about what the truth is. The truth is what YOU believe.
