It is an evidence that these people truly believed what they believed.. maybe not the best evidence.. just another stone on the pile.


Sure thing! I'll show you people that truly believe in something that you don't believe in. I think they believe they will get 72 virgins for it. Just another stone on the pile for them as well :)

If your talking to me. No, I don't belive doctrine is needed for salvation. I belive anyone who believes on the person Jesus to save them will be saved. The end. doctrine is good though. For growing in your understanding of who god is. If you belive love fr god will come Of course if you love god you want to know him correctly.

Nobel try... is someone campaigning to earn a peace prize? Or did you mean 'noble'?

And as for diluted sheep, I find that 18-21 parts-per-million is about as strong as I can handle. ;-)

I think you missed part of the game. I finally gave my evidence and I think to blew a blood vesel in his brain. He started denying math exists. But either way buy me a beer and wait on the sidelines.
