Comitting your life to God is a personal decision that one has to make for themselves. You can't make others adopt your beliefs. What people choose to believe is up to them.

Well Said Serenity. I could've said any better myself!

That gets on my nerves SO MUCH! You have no idea. Why does every conversation have to speak about God? I'm in a religious family and they know I'm agnostic, but it never fails.....God this, Jesus that.

Oh my god!

It is so true. These "Jesus freaks" are always telling me how I am going to go to hell because I don't go to church. What gets me is that they are some of the biggest hypocrites going today. It is amazing! I mean point blank the Black church has failed in almost every way. The black churches are the poverty pimps of society. "Yall just pray on it, and god will make mountains move."

What about teaching folks how to be self sufficient? What about taking some of those "offering plates" and doing something other than selling fried chicken dinners out of the basement of the church! Damn!
