I totally understand where you’re coming from.  One thing I’d like to point out, is that I don’t believe that you are going to change your opinions about your faith because of the things I’m writing here.  I mean, it is possible, maybe even likely that you will notice a side issue that I mention, and you will totally agree with it, or vise-versa.  But I am not writing this stuff to convert any of you, I’m doing it because I really need to have some interaction with others, partly to keep myself on my toes, and I am interested in learning what all of you, and hopefully more people have to say about these issues I am presenting.  So I hope I’m not coming across like we are enemies, or at war or anything.  At the very least, we both believe in the God of Abraham, Issac and Jacob- and we are both seeking truth.  I want you to look for a later post, later on today’s date, and I will explain there what I believe, and a little bit about the journey that brought me from where I was then, to where I am today.  This won’t convince you of anything, but it will be interesting, and you will be able to see where I’m coming from a little better.  But now, I’ve gotta go.  Later!
