Paul Haggis confirms Scientology letter; Church spokesperson responds

I am a little disgusted at how both sides are represented in this argument, I guess the internet gives you a feeling of freedom to express your views in a condescending and judgmental manner. Christian or not, that’s just wrong. We weren’t put here to judge one another. I believe in Jesus, and I also believe that God gave all of us a free will to choose to believe what we want to. I respect those who don’t believe what I do, and I don’t think it’s my place to chastise anyone unless they are being disrespectful of my free will to choose. Don’t call me a fool for being a Christian. It is my choice and I have chosen to believe. Although I disagree with those of you who are not followers of Christ, I would never call you idiots, because I respect your choice. I have been a Christian for many years and studied to make sure I know exactly why I believe what I do. I can defend myself, but I don’t think I should have to unless I’m in a forum where someone genuinely wants to know why I hold the beliefs I do without intent to judge me. No matter if you believe he was God’s son or not, Jesus’s message was one of love and acceptance while teaching the gospel, not getting angry and calling names.

Christianity is not a religion; its a way of life. The reason(s) why we refuse to believe and follow the Creator God is because we would then be accountable for our actions and sins. Its ironic, when natural disasters occur, when horrible tragedies take place we all beckon, cry and plead for God! But at the end of the day, we want when its all said and done, we go on our merry way and forget. We must never forget that while Christ hated sin because He himself is Holy, he loves the sinner. Confession (admit your sin) and repentance (turn from your sinful ways) is what we all NEED to do. The Bible has more than enough evidence to prove itself. The Word (bible) needs no defending, it defends itself. We refuse to see the truth because we are all dead in sin and trespasses. However, if we humble ourselves before the Almighty hand of God, he will have mercy. We have two options either believe Christ is the Son of God, being equal to God or refuse to believe. Either way, when its all said and done, its God who has the last word, and part of eternal torment is forever being separated by God, and yet being reminded every moment for eternity each moment that the Gospel was presented to us. If we open our hearts for truth and read the Bible, we will see, if we seek in spirit and truth, for He is the Spirit of Truth.

Ah the Bible,the greastest story ever written man.The best story tellers in the universe.Even the top theologians of the Catholic Church are rethinking the therory of ancient astronauts.Angels,chairiots of fire,and all that biblical stuff is under scrutiny.Can you explain the drawing on cave walls by ancient man of the things they saw.Figures in space suits and helmets,flying machines and such.Even the Egyptians seen these things and made record of them.If we are the only intelligent life in the universe why did God waste his time creating billions upon billions of galixies in the universe that we know do exist.Question 2:If God does exist in the fashion religion believes and he is all mighty and forgiving being,why does he allow the the torturing,raping,and murder of our innocent little children?Don’t tell me he has a plan for them,that’s a line of BS.No child should be allowed to die that way.I’m not an Athiest,I just don’t believe God is who religions believe he/she is.Question 3:if you had 12 of your friends write a chapter of your life 50 years after you died,how accurate do you think it would be?Think about it.

pdarwin and others,

I encourage you to read the book A Case for Faith by Lee Strobel. He was an atheist and a journalist who set out to prove there was no God but to his surprise he came to a totally different conclusion. You may or may not come to the same conclusion but why not check it out.

In his book Strobel quotes
Biochemist Michael Behe of Lehigh University:
“The result of cumulative efforts to investigate the cell, to investigate life at the molecular level, is a loud, clear, piercing cry for design! The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself, not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs. The reluctance of science to embrace the conclusion of intelligent design has no justifiable foundation. Many people, including many important and well-respected scientists, just don’t want there to be anything beyond nature.” He also quoted James Tour a Nanoscientist
at Rice University’s Department of Chemistry and Center for Nanoscal Science and Technology who has a doctorate in organic chemisty from Purdue University and post-doctoral work at Stanford University and Wisconsin. He stated: “I build molecules for a living. I can’t begin to tell you how difficult that job is. I stand in awe of God because of what He has done through His creation. Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you really study science , it will bring you closer to God.”

Hope you take a look.
