Also, on a tangent but kind of back on topic with the OP, I've decided that I will try and speak my mind around the Christians in my life. I'm not going to bluntly say I don't believe but I will make it clear I see something different when I read the Bible. This isn't a lie by any means as I haven't thrown out the Bible and labelled it rubbish. I'm possibly more intruiged by it than when I understood it in the conventional way. I genuinely believe that as a philosophy it can greatly change someone's life. No, not through prayer and sitting around waiting for it to come to pass trivially, but by understanding how some of it can be applied in everyday life.
My mission now is to transorm those that believe in the Bible into people that gain confidence in themselves that they can achieve what their heart longs for. The ones that already have the ability to achieve their goals are the ones that pray but don't give credit to their OWN hard work that clearly got them to where they are. I've just had enough of people waiting around for some crazy sign from God to do something. If you want to raise money for the poor, if you want to do mission work, if you want to help the homeless then get up and get going.
