Nope, couldn't hurt at all.
what makes that a "fact"?? just because its stated? without any numbers from stats taken by an unbiased third party, i dont believe any of it.

They will give up on the battle because their maker would be there for them to fix it...
[/religious flamesuit].. just a thought :dunno:
those types of "religious people" are usually spiritually immature (in the sense that their belief in religion hasnt fully developed yet)... but this is in reference to the self-proclaimed Christians... this doesnt illegitamize their belief, but just simply saying that it hasnt fully developed and/or they havent gotten a complete grasp of it.
