Fae, ive been reading through the last few posts of our debate the last couple of nights, i mean it was kind of fun.. was it not? I looked forward to what you had to say about the points I had made, as I'm sure you did as well. I just wanted to point out that I, in absolutely no way, meant any harm in our conversations, as I know at some points I was rather rude. You seem like an awesome person, and I've never met anyone so strong-willed and determined to let their opinion stand. I dont really know why I'm writing this to you, except to say that I'm sorry that I came across as I did, .. prideful? as you said? I dont really know, but I just wanted to try and clear it up. alright well for once in my life, I've run out of things to say.

So you are a bit different than most Christians. Most Christians swears that the Church is the house of God, and therefore cannot be corrupted as God is its master.

I am a lot different than a lot of Christians you will meet today, I mean, at least I hope so. . Did you know that over 6 million people in the world today claim to be so called christians? That's why I got so upset when you generalized, because I am not .. hmm.. well like most of them. I believe with everything inside of me that there is a God, and thats where I jacked all of this up. I was so focused on telling you that you were 'wrong' that I lost all perspective and the point of our discussions. You see, I'm nondenominational, thats why I'm so used to the idea that chuches are like man, they can get corrupt and lose sight of the whole reason for them being there. Church, for a lot of people decieves them into the mindset of.. "Well, It's sunday, I've prayed and given my tithe.. I'm good to go for the next week.." It just aggrivates me, I'm sure you can tell. People see God as a church building and a bible. When He is so much more. A lot of people dont realize that church is for guidance.. for learning more about Christ.. but CHRIST himself is supposed to be your foundation. I read my word and go by that, not by what some self-appointed preacher tells me to do. I guess thats what makes me different. I refuse to just sit down and have people tell me how I need to serve GOD. I have to see it for myself. He's going to guide me.. not some crazy church. And the same thing goes for religion.. thats why I dont really have one. I mean I am a christian, but it stops there, I go to church on wednesdays and on sundays occasionally, saturday nights are the best.. but i like it better when I can praise and worship at home, on my own, in my own way..
I think thats why I got so upset when you were generalizing me as a christian, with every other christian out there.. Just because I believe in Christ, doesnt automatically make me some brainwashed bible thumper. As it was wrong of me to judge you, just because you arent a follower of my faith, doesnt make you some GOD-awful sinner, not that I had thought that of you in the first place. I just mean that I'm sure you got the feeling that I was putting you down or patronizing you, as an Un-believer. I dont think I did, but .. I very well could have.

ah well, I hope you catch the sincerity in my tone throughout this post.
