Not only that,if you are lucky enough to be in their general area,i assure you they would be glad to come over and give you a hand if needed. Don't screw up a good opportunity for yourself. We all may have different ideas regarding religion and politics and other such matters. It doesn't mean someone is good or bad-just a difference of opinion. There is nothing wrong with that. But hear me out just for a minute,I'll gladly read any response you may have and return the favor to you. Regarding religion: Lets say that us bible thumpers are ,JUST FOR SAKE OF ARGUMENT, correct. If we knew that we held a piece of information that was very important to your well being,and withheld that from you we would be doing you a great disservice. But ask yourself this: If I truly believe there is no God,and I live in that mindset,what do I have to lose at the end of my life? My opinion is a very great deal. Now ask yourself this:Lets say that I'm not sure if there is a God or not. If I die and there is no God...then I will just return to the dirt. But,if I die and there IS a God,and I refused Him...what shape would I be in then? It is a great risk to take. Now the last question: Lets say I do believe in God,should I hide the information I know and believe to be true,or should I try to warn others. Three different points of view on the matter. Just a thought. I am sure you too are an intelligent individual. Maybe you should just consider which options you think someone should choose.

Aside from that,regarding all the arguing that has been taking place,consider the fact that there is a great resource here at your disposal. If people would discuss their opinion and agree to disagree then you will be able to make great use of this resource. Noone here will ignore your opinion,if we disagree with you,just grant us the same privilege. If you stop making enemies now,I assure you these guys will let by-gones be by-gones,never to be mentioned again. Thank you for listening.
