I am so grateful God is attending to this personally, and not outsourcing. I would fill out a questionnaire, but God knows, I'm not real into reading and writing.

David--my guess is that your Mom named you after the biblical David.

Hey, I don't like your survey. As a Christian I just don't mess around with God and his Son. Open your heart and read the Bible. Someday it might actually speak to you. I didn't become a Christian until my late forties. Before that I lived a less than admirable life. Scoff and laugh at me. I don't care what you think. All I know is that you are missing a great experience and walk with God. Give it a chance. You might like it. (By the way, I have a superior iq and am well educated. I accepted faith through prayer and
realizing that coincidences had to be more than that.)

God bless you, David. You probably won't ask God into your life until a major negative situation hits you and you need Him.

Have a good week. I can't believe that I actually use to laugh at
Christians and God. God is the best friend you could ever have.

First off, let me appologize for your comment getting trapped in my spam filter. Sometimes the filter works great, other times, well, you know.

[quote]Open your heart and read the Bible.[/quote]
I have read the Bible. In fact, I was two classes short of getting a minor in Bible in college. (Christian College.) It's a good book. But that's all it is to me. A book. Put together by committee. Facinating stories. But just stories. From Genesis to Revelations. To me, it's no more Devine Revelation than the Koran or the Book of Mormon.

[quote]By the way, I have a superior iq and am well educated[/quote]
That's nice. Smart people (and dumb people) are on both sides of the divide.

[quote]You probably won't ask God into your life until a major negative situation hits you and you need Him.[/quote]
To me, that's just silly. Doesn't that sound like the old "falling on a crutch" response that's batted around?

[quote]Have a good week[/quote]
You too!

Oh. God. Atheists and born agains are really quite humorless aren't they?

My brother is a neo-reformed druid, he worships shrubery and small bushes.

I am a very strong Christian, but June you know as well as I do that you aren’t to Judge these people for what they do. That’s left up to God! The Bible however does say that we are to help the unsaved, but in a loving manner. I have been saved since I was 8 but never had a great relationship with God, I tried to fill my life with other temporary pleasures such as popularity, sports, girls, etc…. But No matter what I did there was still this Gap in my life that none of these things could fill until I fully submitted my Life to Christ. There is a Gap in everyones Life even the people that write on here and say they’re atheist. Some deny it, some try to cover it up, some try to fill it with worldly pleasures and it Works, but only for a very short period. Once they are finally willing to give in and say “I cant do it on my own” is the time when their life will be changed for ever if they accept Christ and live for him and not themselves. I am sure these people have often been told that they we’re conceited, arrogant, and/or self-centered. This is because they are living for themselves and not Jesus. I pray that all of you let go of your past admit that there is a gap in your life and Accept Jesus as your savior. Love all and am praying for all!

Technical support required please... I accepted the EULA when prompted, but during the installation of my God I wasn't online so I couldn't register for technical support. Please advise...

Regarding any comments for improving the quality of God's services?

I'd like to say that I am glad Jesus came to earth to die for our sins. We would not be strong if it didn't happen.

Jesus is King of Kings!

Meditation is a great way to connect with your spirituality. Not only that but we can actually heal our mind and body through meditation.
