Ok allow me the chance to explain why I closed this thread a little better.
Skyler you have found a new way in life and for this I applaud you. I understand the excitement you feel and the wanting to share it with others, however, you show a certain lack of knowledge about your religion and the capability of holding this argument for any length of time. Not for lack of trying but lack of knowledge...it is new to you so as you learn you will look back on this thread and hopefully chuckle at it.
Ryan...You are one arguing mofo. You hold your own in any argument given and can research faster than most I have seen and are capable of creating a strong enough argument to piss off Ghandi. Debate is your strong suit for sure but by your own admission you could have kept this rolling another five pages.
You both have good intentions and believe strongly in what you are saying but lets just agree to disagree in this matter and before it reverts to simple name calling etc. I decided to close it as a preventative measure. More people would jump on one side or the other and ride it until it just got mean.
We dub this a tie and walk away both woth heads held high
Thanks for understanding.
