Needless to say, my point in starting this thread was because of the funny Jebus reference actually found in The Bible, not to debate the pros and cons of Christianity. I respect everyone's personal beliefs, so I just want to make sure everyone understands that I'm not trying to cram God down any of your throats here. Yes, I go to church. Yes, I am a Christian. But that doesn't mean I have anything against people who aren't Christian, nor am I making any attempt to convince anyone to convert, etc. We're all free to be what we are here at Obner, and that's why I like it so much here.
Oh, I didn't think for a second that's what yr. trying to do..I was just saying that it was a pretty funny mental picture of you trying to stifle a chuckle/give a poke to the ribs of the esteemed Mrs. FT..not to bag on religion. Whatver floats yr. boat, Bobbo. (I post this, cuz I think I sent yr. Jebus thread in an anti-Jebus direction,a nd I didn't mean to do that, either)
