that seems a little naive...

[QUOTE=Jolly McJollyson]I've tried negating God's existence with logic. I couldn't do it. I can negate hell. I can negate the eternal soul. I can negate the trinity doctrine. I cannot negate God's existence. Hence my reason for being I guess what you could loosely term "Christian."
ok... the word Christian means "christ-like" and is defined as someone who trys to live their lives as much like christ as they can (oviously, no one can be perfect like him, but they can at least try to be as good as they can) I'm not going to be able to change your mind I'm sure... but lots of people call themselves christians, and only a few actually are...
