Is that not shooting oneself in the foot, by implying that faith itself is not a good thing, in contradiction of your own belief system?Aaron Kinneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12059982934663353474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11975474.post-71251441885384131122010-08-22T09:49:51.596-07:002010-08-22T09:49:51.596-07:00If you an Atheist, you should see this...hurry
