    Eric Liddell refused to run on a Sunday.It was the Sabbath,God's Day.He was made out to be a 'traitor' to his country,because he refused to do what his country wanted him to do.An American handed him a note before he won the 400m gold medal.A quote from Samuel,"If you honour me,I will honour you."

    Two religious guys,one handing a letter to the other showing his respect for the other one's faith.

    I'm not religious in the slightest,I still think this story of faith is brilliant
    Their coming to take me away.....haha-hee-hee-ho-ho

    My Lord turned the water into wine. So the crowd went along with what my lord doth said.
    God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
    Courage to change the things I can,
    And wisdom to know the difference.

    I hear what you're saying, but you're just scratching the surface while I'm rummaging deep in the roots...
    I dont disagree in the slightest.

    But your rummaging deep in human issues, what was asked was "Do you believe in God?" Not do you believe in the Jewish God, or do you believe in Buddah.

    You would be quite right if the question was do you believe in the God of the Jews, but the word God means many different things to many different people. It is something that trancends mere earth based religion.

    Yeah, I can hear exactly where you're coming from here Flashman.

    I believe God to be the Universe, therefore we're all Gods, therefore our actions will reflect Gods plan. We should be working as a team, rather than individuals in order to get higher & to understand what's really out there, where we're going & how we're going to get there.

    As to where we came from & whether there's a God or not, I'm stopping myself from thinking about it, because it's impossible to answer these questions. It's all speculation & theories, & to get lost in this way of thinking WILL drive an individual to insanity.

    Yeah, I think that is precisely the problem.

    Thank God I'm an Atheist.
    A 1991 Gallup survey indicated that 49 percent of Americans didn't know that white bread is made from wheat.
