No offense, but with that attitude, I could see why people would reject you. Don't get my wrong, I have had my share of being rejected (my start here was not so well received), but I think there ARE things you could say that would change that, that is if you believed that it was really true that you were being injustices. Unfortunately, I would have to say that you know you brought this on your self, and your intense desire to believe in your god, clashing with your obvious draw toward logic is driving you to find some voice of support, some sort of validation to strengthen what you believe, and to continue arguing a false ideal to make some sort of peace with in your head. If you really wanted to 'not debate' and just start trying to find real truth, you would have to entertain all possibilities and ideas... and many of which include your bible not being the ultimate truth. Yes, this is a scary leap to take, that will challenge every notion of every thing that is important to you, but if you would ever to really be strong in your beliefs, christian or otherwise, you would first have to look at the possibility that it could be just... well... made up.

Have you done this? Are your beliefs based on great lengths of reasoning and logical ideas? Or is it all just based on what you have been told and brought up to believe?

I have made more then one assumption here, and perhaps I am the ass hat now, but as a fool who once believed in some thing whole hearted because it was simply too scary to admit the things important to me were meaningless, I can relate. I almost just feel bad for you...

Ah.. alas tho, please don't take me as harsh... I hold no bias against any one for their beliefs. It just irks me that you use such rash logic.

I do, however, applaude your ongoing efforts to discuss and seek out truths and promote your beliefs. Open your mind some and continue this pattern and you will find what you seek.
