If Romney gets in which country will America start a war with next?

You know, there have been great points on both sides of this discussion here and it didn't really get that ugly. From the believer's point of view, faith only counts when it comes to religion, anything else that one knows can be proven is tested. Faith in religion cannot be tested and proven in any way.

Just a breif response to a few points in Frenchmon's last post.

It was ALL written in correspondences.
6 days did not mean 6 24 hour cycles as we now call a day. Would I believe Man or Ancient Manuscripts? Knowing that most of what was written back then was 3rd hand babblings and again can never be proven to be true, I would trust what science has discovered about the overall universe right now but still leave open the idea that the energy started somewhere but not how most religions want me to think. God did not just create the earth as a 6 billion year old baby while the rest of the universe expanded from a central location 6 billion years ago.
Adam was not an individual but a representation of the Human race. Since they didn't care much for womens rights, and many fanatics still don't, they mentioned Eve as an afterthought to represent the female of the Human race. It was never about 2 distinct individuals that Focked like rabbits to create the start of the billions now here on earth.

Here is a good question. Why do the majority of Christians label Swedenborg as a nut job because he claimed to speak to angels, but they believe that God opened the heavens and talked ONLY to Moses alone at the top of a mountain and spit out the 10 commandments. What would be the difference if you claim it's all about faith?

Or is it Selective Faith?

Should I respond to this Hyfi? Or just leave it as is?

You said you were done. We can leave it at that or we can continue to have a nice theological conversation where nobodies feelings get hurt and we all agree to disagree politely.

If you would like to get a different perspective and logical interpretation of the first several books of the bible, that can then be applied elsewhere when similar passages (correspondences) are used, please give some of this a read. It changed my way of reading the bible and my understanding of what they were trying to say within it.

After reading all of this, which I did but fell asleep 2700 times, watch What Dreams May Come and you will see and get all the references they used from some of this text along with his book titled Heaven and Hell.
