Anyway, I hate getting into these discussions, because I don't want to convert anyone, or change their beliefs. And I often feel like that is what I'm attempting. It really isn't. And I feel the Santa analogy (albeit all analogies are weak) is not at all misplaced. It speaks to human nature.

But I am going to sign out of this discussion, as again, it really isn't my intent to persuade.
It may seem to be a lottery with the way I presented my argument but if you allow me to use the scriptures, then it becomes 50/50 chance. If you would agree that the Bible is true, then it becomes 100 percent sure.

Honest to goodness, in all my bible expositions, it has been my intent to make all my listeners Christian converts.

People can mock me on this but it is my belief that I have the responsibility to share the word of God to whoever I meet in life whether it be in the classrooms or in the forums.
