    Angels are the ones with halos. Christians will be wearing crowns! :D

    My angel doesn't have a halo, just a crown of Flowers, must be because I'm an earthly angel. :)

    Well with all those false "Christians" running around now days...it certainly takes the Holy Spirit's discernment to know the true from the false. There is no problem with those who don't claim to know or even believe in God, etc. As they are being true to their beliefs. But when someone goes around as a "false" Christian using "Christianity" to deceive people, steal their hard earned money, to gain power over others, or for any other ungodly and unbiblical purpose...it is an insult to those who are sincere in their faith...and it also is an insult to our heavenly Father and Savior.

    My final say on this subject is that although I was raised catholic and I've kind of raised my kids catholic and my kids are raising their kids with some type of religious instruction, however basic. None of us are or were church goers. An occasional mass here and there. I would love to have it all be true, and I can even go as far as say that there is a slight possibility of a supreme type being in the beginning, I tend to go with science though.

    In any case, whatever the truth is, I've lived my life honestly and kindly and always tried to do the right thing, and not because I fear hell or want heaven. This is the way I am, many things probably contributed to what shaped me
    And there is nothing I'm ashamed of.....too much.:) I'm not perfect.

    terry..I respectfully disagree with you. The definition of a "true Christian" will change depending on who you ask.

    Babs.. I totally agree that people using religion for personal gain are a real piece of work. I don't blame people for getting disgusted with "Christians" like this..and those sincerely following their faith are condemned by not only non-Christians..but by other Christians from the endless divisions of churches...

    I think Tammy Faye Baker and her husband were ones I remember. I did feel sorry for her in the end though when she was dying of cancer. Is her ex husband out of jail?

    Yeah, in a manner of speaking; I meant it facetiously, and thought that would show. Or, maybe it did! Frank

    It's really hard to tell when people are being facetious sometimes..cause you can't hear tone or see a smile..but thank you for clarifying...I thought you were kidding :)

    That's the way it should be. We all don't believe the same thing but we shouldn't judge others. We can talk about it and have conversations and opinions but don't disrespect others. That's my philosophy and I'm sticking to it. :)
