I'm pretty sure people convert to Christianity all the time through discussion. The mission trip I went to over spring break we just talked to people on the street about Jesus, and 57 people gave their life to God. :)
You killed 57 people and you end it with a smiley face? ****, you're cold.
Plus Haunter isn't so great either...
How dare you, good sir?!

Conversion's pretty weak, people should make their own informed decisions on things. I'm almost certain you weren't accompanied by your atheist friend and your buddhist friend(doesn't really matter which faith) zozefup. I'm certain those 57 new recruits got to hear things from other groups.

I might watch again tonight, Webster. Although, I might be at the game labs playing it with other people. If I can get online at the labs, maybe I can get a few people playing with me too, we'll see. ;)

I shouldn't have brought up the mission trip I went on. My point was that many people (even educated Atheists) convert to Christianity all the time. My history teacher on campus converted to Christianity about 3 years ago. He knows all the view points better than anyone on these boards.

What question are you debating, or what is your point?

edit: How many Christians are in the Chicago smash scene? Yall need to come down here and visit the Bible belt XD

You're right, people do convert to many religions all the time. I'm just saying I don't feel like it's anyone's place to assert their position in the matter, that being said inquiry on the matter and then answering someone without trying to change their mind is totally legit.

The proof of God rest on creation. The proof of Jesus being God rest of the people who saw Jesus in person. I've already talked about how many people who saw Jesus in person believed he was God. How did one man convince thousands and thousands of people that he was God? This is what separates Jesus from any other religion. It's nice if you believe in greek mythology or and flying speghitty monster. It's entirely different to say "I am God and I'll prove it in front of thousands of people by raising people from the dead and healing everyone you bring to me."

But just because 1000s of people say something, doesn't necessarily make it true. To really believe in God, you need a personal relationship with him. Hopefully by looking at creation, and then by looking at the story of Jesus, that would be enough for you to at least check it out. The Bible says "Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened." So go to a church, pray and seek God, and I believe he will reveal himself to you.

inquiry on the matter and then answering someone without trying to change their mind is totally legit.
If you honestly believed that Jesus was the Son of God, and people could have a more fulfilling life by believing in Jesus, then it would be wrong for you not to share your faith. I've never "convinced" a single person to believe in Jesus. I invited Rob Gambino (the guy who posted a few pages back about Jesus) to a church camp about 6 years ago. He did not believe in God, or at least, did not believe in the things the church camp was saying about God. The next thing I know, he is praying at the alter with tears running down his face, and from that time on he has never questioned if Jesus was the son of God.

I did nothing to convince him. He made the choice to seek God, and God revealed himself to him.

dude, seriously...
lol I know it cheesy. But it's pretty ridiculous nonetheless. She has proof of the surgerys and proof that they burned her nerve endings off so that she would feel less pain. Nerve endings don't grow back like that. I believe in God and in miracles, but if I was in a church service and they told someone like her to take off their back and neck brace and walk.... I would freak out. If you saw that in person, or if you knew her before hand, I don't know how you would not at least try to seek God.

i'm disgusted with all this pollution in MY power ranking thread! regardless, expect an update soon guys.

also, if a benevolent soul would be so kind as to inform me of brawl activity in south/central IL, it would only work in your favor.

Are we talking PvP or PvE?

Because if we're talking PvE, you'll never, ever get addicted to it. Its simply a good enjoyable waste of time. I hate the game, yet I'm 11/12 ICC25 and 4/12 Heroic 10. I play it for what it is, a time waster.

PvP, however, occasionally has the illusion of fun. Don't be fooled, the RMP teams will just deny any chance of that ever happening. And BGs aren't PvP, don't kid yourself.

So today, I went to google and plotted the search trends for "jesus" and "porn" porn's represented by blue, jesus by red.

Where's your god now?

I love how in 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009, Porn searches skyrocketed in the later months. People must be really bored on Christmas break, or just can't go outside so they sit in and watch porn.

That's late 07'. I think you are reading the graph wrong. the entire box is the year listed below. It could be misleading because the line and date corresponding in the middle.

There hasn't been a tournament in central/southern IL that I haven't won.

I'm hosting a tournament today in my dorm room in 3 min.

edit: I won!
