By this site's time it's already the 24th, but for me I'm only an two and a half hours away from my big 17.
That's right, you knuckleheads: I'm now 17 years old. Ha! Who's old and wise NOW?!

Birthday Buddy
Congrats!
My birthday is also today!
Would you believe that "Barbie" and I are the same age?
Unfortunately she is holding up better than I am.

Enjoy it. You have wisdom beyond your years.
Not much beyond, say a week or three, but beyond.

F--K YEAH!!
(EDITED IN)
Sorry, couldn't resist. But seriously, I still have just as much the desire and perhaps even more calling than I had a year before. Granted my beliefs have become less orthodox, but they're definetly on solid ground now, and I both know and believe that beyond any reasonable doubt there was and is a Creator who knows us all and has some great ideas for us. I want to do my best to spread His message of love, and I believe that the Christian Church, albiet not perfect, would be the best way to spread it.

Umm... I'm assuming you won't tell me how old barbie is?
And don't sweat it; Barbie is literally 100% plastic.

What do I have to do, or say, to convince you that you are wasting your time?

Re: Birthday Buddy
Maybe you know history better than toys.
It is the same year that Alaska and Hawaii achieved statehood.

Think about the logic

Well, I don't think anything could make me change my mind. Besides, if I knew what could be said that would change my mind my mind would already be changed.. sucka.

God is far more powerful than what most have in mind. Imagine God as best you can. Now zoom out from that picture in your mind and imagine a God above the previous one, even more powerful than the first. Zoom out further and imagine an even greater God. Now do that endlessly. That, my friend, is but a glimmering sliver of God.

Since I've done a good job pissing off the creationists on this website, maybe we should make a topic where you atheists try to 'convert' me so to speak. That way I can say I've messed with everyone on the forum .

Lets do a mock debate
Born2Preach, I will pretend to be an atheist and you can debate me. I will use all of the arguments that I have heard and you try and defend Christianity and/or present to me the counter evidence. Sort of a verbal wrestling match. You start.

Atheism isn't really a choice
Since I've done a good job pissing off the creationists on this website, maybe we should make a topic where you atheists try to 'convert' me so to speak.
There's no need to attempt to convert you. If atheism was acceptable to you, you would find it sufficiently compelling that you would have no choice but to be one.
That's how it works. I'd much rather live in the ignorant bliss of belief; but fooling myself is not an option at this point. I know that there's no evidence for God, so I don't have any choice but to be an atheist.
It's not that great, really. It would be really, really great if a magic god watched over us and prevented bad things and punished the evil, but there's just no way that I can believe that's true in the light of the world we live in.
