I'm surrounded by christians that defy christian stereotypes as easily as atheists defy the stereotypes foisted upon them by putative christians. That's -why- it seems so strange to me, that we get the "christians" that we do, round hur. The only christians I bother with don't bother to hate on the gays, they don;t have time for creationism, they don't demean themselves or their god by lying about their faith or the evidence or it. They're brotherhood of man types, friends of the poor...from whose lips the word "taker" will never fall. Missionaries that never handed out a single bible..only food and shelter and labor. Carter Christians and true Red Letter believers, lol.
I see you like Christians who do not bother you with a witness and have no concern about your eternal destination. You like Christians who sit around and do little of what the bible instructs us to do. Who said any of us here hate on the gays, that would be your opinion of us because we believe what the word of God says, not in how we associate with gays.

That faith is needed in the religious community reasonably means that zero evidence is in existence to prove god is real.
The other Christians here have said it well and that does mean I agree with each one. They have summed it up well.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
