it just depends how important truth is to you.

(Apr 13 07, 09:46)That's why I believe what I believe. I care a great deal about truth, and about what happens now and in the hereafter.
In my case you would be mistaken to say I present an argument for my faith simply to test my own resolve. If I wanted to do that, I would interrupt a voodoo ritual in some hinter Haitian jungle, Bible, crucifix and holy water in hand. However that isn't my goal. Everyday life provides enough challenges without the need to seek them out.
I found out about Newstoday through the design community; that was my original reason for checking this place out, like almost everyone else here. I started paying attention to the PVN, and when threads about religion popped up, I decided to weigh in, especially since most people here lean toward a culturally 'liberal' and spiritually humanistic stance. I simply think the other side should be heard. Let's say someone came on here and criticized a friend or a family member, you would want to defend them, wouldn't you? It seems like the only honorable thing to do, as long as everyone is being civil...which is always a goal for me personally.
