Nasty_sayuri, You remind me of myself! I know how it feels going to a Bible school where you are a minority, both as a colored person and as a non/semi believer. Going to a Christian school gave me a different perspective about religions. It's all about what you believe in dude. If you talk to a Christian, you don't hear them talking-- you hear that Bible talking. I always tried to avoid confrontations with them coz they are hard core Christians and it's hard to convince or even talk to them with a different worldview. There is a core class in our school ( I don't know if you have to take that class too) which teaches about evolution. I had a blast in that class seeing all the Christians getting upset. They believe in Creationism despite what science has revealed. I think that going to a Christian school made me an atheist too. Everyone has their own God and the only proof they've got is their Bible/Koran etc etc. According to the bible the earth was created by God a mere 15000 years ago but the theory of evolution says that it's millions years old. I agree with you when it comes to helping the poor and the needy people rather than wasting money on churches/temples/priest. The world would have a better if there was no religion. The root of all the wars have been religion and the conflict still goes on. Why can't we just be humans and learn to love and care for each other. Anyways, I gotta go man. Am at work. Peace, LoGiN
