About the layers... They have found Trilobites fossils open and tracks from one layer to another "trying to dig out" Are you saying trilobites live thousands of years and move really slow. If so how did those select fossils stay open when they died?

Now I'm not here to say anyones wrong or their ideas are dumb. I just want to tell you what i believe. About 4 years ago i was at the worst part in my life i was far to overweight. i had no friends and was in a spiral down ward. I would fake sick just to not go to school and face all of it. One day in 5th grade i woke up to my dad screaming and my sister crying out of control. I Look in the bathroom and there is my mom lying on the floor not breathing. I was only 10 years old and without any one telling me to or "Brainwashing" me i just began to pray i rely didn't know how but i just did. My mom died the day March 4th 2004. And my life hasn't been the same after that day. After that all i could do was turn to God for a way to get out of the place i was in. In 1 years time i had lost 35 pounds and found a reason to wake up and go to school that reason was God and still is God. Over the years my family and i have found a very caring church and loving support from our friends and neighbors. I'm 13 now and i just wanted to say i don't care if this doesn't even get a comment back or any response i just wanted to put this out here and tell all of you if your lost God is always there for you and waiting for you to ask him to be your savior.
i just wanted to add one thing I'm not a religious person I'm a faithful person there is a lot wrong with religion but i am just a Christian not a specific denomination.

God Bless

It was in the newspaper a couple months ago that a Bible Camp was brainwashing children (Or was it Fox News, I can't remember).

It's pretty easy to Brainwash children. Fear is a very powerful way to control them.

As to when an adult is brainwashed... I'd say when they are willing to be a Martyr.[/B]

I'd be willing to die a martyr.     infact, in my opinion, if your not willing to give up your life for the one you see as your savior, then I guess its understandable because of the fear but at the same time pretty shameful.  if you think someone is your savior, you should be willing to die for them.

I'm very sorry that happened, but in reality, I wanted to state that christianity is not a religion, but, it would've probably led to more flaming.  I completely agree with all that he said.

thanks Dominicy and God bless

How is Christianity not a religion?

Remember, I am a Christian as well so it's not meant to sound offensive. Even I am willing to die a martyr (This does NOT mean I'm going to go out and kill myself or something).

I like you. Could you space out your words a little more though? A big clump is kinda hard to read. I'm a little disturbed by someone having a depression in the 5th grade though.

[redwallmax]

well you know its true and thats just one example of what gods love can do and his grace can change.

Christianity isn't exactly a religion, it's a generalization or catagory of worship. Several religions go under Christianity, like Catholics, Puritans, Luthrens, ect.

Of course, this could be argued profusely.

[Darkfox]

Odd, aboutasoandthis you seem familiar somehow. O_o

Is this a good or bad thing?

Well depends on how you look on it. A friend of mine has that exact avatar and it just confused me a lil.

redwallmax, do you know of the phrases "mind over matter" or "the power of suggestion"?  Your hope and faith in God, purely as a form of faith, you perservered.  Not to say that you're wrong, but focusing your mind on anything can make drastic changes, regardless of what it was.

Th unfortunate death of your mother could even be considered a strong enough motivation for your turn-around.

I would have said something similar, but it sounds better when other people say it.
