I was just wanting to offer to you all a couple of books that I believe would be very helpful and insightful, because it seems that not many people taking part in this page have done any REAL research. I am truly not trying to be offensive in any way. I have a lot of compassion for people who have not really delved into the facts deep enough, and so are confused. These books are:
“Answers to Tough Questions: Skeptics ask about the Christian Faith†(By: Josh McDowell and Don Stewart)
(And/Or “Evidence That Demands a Verdict†(By Josh McDowell)
and “Who is This Jesus, Is He Risen?: Examining the Truth About Jesus†(By: D. James Kennedy, Ph.D. with Jerry Newcombe) — which can be gotten from: Coral Ridge Ministries

I truly hope, because I really care about each individual, that you all will really read these books…because I know it will be difficult to even pick one of them up due to lack of desire to find the real truth — and maybe even due to fear of finding the real truth (for some people). There have been prominent men who have delved into the research to the greatest extents in order to get all the facts — only to find out who Jesus really is, that he really lived, and that he really rose again — and those men who were determined to tear down the Christian faith ended up developing an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ instead.
What I am saying here, is that these facts definitely make it something to at least seriously look in to. I am not talking about a superficial glance that is guarded by many preconceived notions from the GetGo…I am talking about an actual intellectual LookSee.
In conclusion, may God’s blessing be with each and every one of you…including the misguided “Christians†whom I saw left comments on this page before..I am sure some of you really meant well, but it is not the true way of Christ.
The real important thing is to find out who Christ REALLY is, but if you want to..in the meantime.. check out answersingenesis.org.
Love to all of my brothers and sisters in Christ.

Have you read the Gospel yet? If you have yet to read the gospel, do not come on this site suggesting texts we should read without reading our own!
May his Noodliness have mercy on your black soul, Pennhigh.
Pennhigh… definitely give “The Origins of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind” by Julian Jaynes a try. You’ll not likely find any greater truths there than you’ve found already, but give it an actual intellectual LookSee. ;)
And a small question if I may… have you delved into the texts of any other religions? There is truth reflected in all the ways that humans relate with their god(s), and many paths to God.
A politely worded contrast to the straight hate mail, and appreciated! The other small question in my mind says, Is the Bible not enough to find out who Christ REALLY is? If one is willing to seek the truth in the Bible, why does one need the interpretations of men, be they books or websites?

I strongly suggest that you pick up a copy of the gospel of the FSM. Many prominent christians have tried to tear down the pastafarainism faith but end up developing a close relationship with the FSM instead. Unless of course, you are afraid to find out about the truth. After all, there is plenty of proof in the form of text to prove the FSM. Yes, He really existed, really created the world, and created the skeptism I sense in you, as a test for you to overcome. So, do you want to continue living in lies, or do u want to seek the truth?
I do like the lack of threats, swearing, and general homophobia. I will look into those titles if you promise to look into ‘Siddhartha’ by Herman Hesse, ‘The Alchemist’ by Paulo Coelho, and ‘The Monkey Wrench Gang’ by by Edward Abbey.
Peace
I have seen the light – the mountains, the trees, the meegits…FSM loves us all and we are all equal in hie eyes! Brother Pennhigh – please come and join us. You will see it is the one true way! No more questions…no more additional books to read. It is THE WAY! Thank you.
At least one of u “christians” has managed to post an intelligent argument based on their views and beliefs, i dont buy in2 any religion but i do respect the opinions of an intelligent person who can argue their point without resorting to insulting and demeaning the views of others i hope u do well in life pennhigh
Pennhigh, Christian is as Christian does. Your efforts would be better spend getting proclaimed Christians to behave in a decent manner. See if you can get them to adhere to the teachings of Christ and stop wishing death, pain and misery on those of other religions. See if you can get them to actually read the Bible. See if you an get them to stop tarnishing the name of Christ. One you’ve acomplished that then you can concern yourself with the rest of us.
Last note. Assuming that anyone who isn’t a declared Christian is simply ignorant of the teachings of the church is pretty damned arrogant.
