To all: Just to be clear, my post on converting on my deathbed is a joke. I do not believe in any of the religions that I have been in contact with, i.e. Buddhism, Christianity, Taoism and Islam. All but Islam I have studied briefly onLucre: I had already read the bible (parts of it anyway) before the people came. I was a bookworm and I read everything I could get my hands on. At age 10, I was reading or had read Sweet Valley Kids/Twins/High, Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Enid Blyton, Sidney Sheldon, Tolkien, Shogun, H. G. Wells, George Orwell, etc. Basically I had a book in my hand even when I am eating. One of my favourite aunts love books and I basically ate up her books, including her bible (I only read parts cos that was the only book she won't let me borrow home).
The only thing those people succeeded in was to piss me off enough to actually start examining their bible to throw questions to them. But them I started reading more newspapers and I found even more ammo thanks to RCC
Don't get me wrong, I don't care what a person's religion is, it is his/her choice, but I really get pissed when they tell me that I am decadent and in need of help (a priest told me that to my face when he found out I wasn't a Christian. We just met since I was waiting for a friend to collect something from his church and started talking and he said that. My friend also got a earful for not 'saving' me). It is these people that I love to attack, not the other peace loving sheep (The Lord is my Shepard, anyone?)
Umm, last I heard, god was one of the ideas that came up to challenge things people did not understand. You know, things like thunder and lightning being a punishment from god(s) or the world being created in 7 days (I can still remember a guy arguing passionately with me that carbon dating is wrong and that the world is really 6000 years old).
