Now, hang on there Bob. You believe in God, you believe in Jesus Christ, you liked Jesus Christ Superstar. Why do you think God sent Jesus to earth to die for us? Do you believe in the Bible? The Bible teaches that there is a Hell. Do you only believe in some of it? How can you do that? You either have to believe all that Jesus said, or none of it. You can't pick and choose. Either everything Jesus said in the Bible is true, or it isn't. Joseph I'm not speaking for Bob, but I gotta respond to this one. I believe in God. I pray every day. But I never crack open a bible. Why is it so incomprehensible to bible-quoting Christians (I mean no offense) that a person can have a relationship with God while not being a bible reader? I just don't get it. I try, in my very imperfect way, to connect with and submit my will to my higher power. But I am happy to applaud the efforts of atheists to get God out of public policy and public life. I was cheering that guy in California who objected to the mandatory inclusion of "one nation under God" in the pledge of allegiance. Bryan
