You inspired me to contribute my share to helping the good people @ AR15.com to another angle on the subject.[;)]

Quoted: Its an open forum. That's right, it is...isn't it? And frankly there's nothing hypocritical about my post what so ever, just information for those so inclinded to look at. Nothing to fear. |

I don't fear prostelatizing athiests if thats what you mean but I do think it's a shame.
Now I do fear for some people who will have to try and explain their actions to a God they did not think was real. |

One would think that a title like "for fellow Christians..." might lead a rational, pubescent, non-Christian to the conclusion that this may be an inappropriate place for his atheistic efforts. Good luck. |

Does Thor ,Oden,Isis fair any better at stopping the carnage that godless men do? Bob [:D] |

History seems to be full of carnage, created by those that [i]do[/i] believe in a god. We've been through this though, dozens of times on this site. Chosing to ignore history seems to be becoming a theme around here. |
