Boy is this off topic, but I felt a need to share it.
I was raised a Catholic but my adolescent "intellectual self" rejected the teachings of the Bible as bogus. Eventually I came to realize that our world functioned way too symbiotically to be just happenstance and the Darwinest approach required much more blind faith than the idea of God making every thing mesh and working together.
Anyway, I'm pretty much a numbers and mechanical guy and the bible makes more sense than anything else.
It still seems strange that we are forgiven of all our sins through Christ's crucification as long as we make a good honest effort to repent , but I'll take it!
