ARE THERE ANY CHRISTIANS HERE AT ALL IF THER IS SEND ME A MESSAGE
I would caution you that there are likewise many here that will not share your belief, and some who will be....how can I put this....a bit less than cordial to you because of your views. This dissuades many people from discussing their beliefs (Christian and otherwise) in the forums. At the very lest thought you can read some of the discussions here and find people who share similar belief as yours to hold private discussions with.

Come, come, Omnislash.
We welcome everyone here. Except those who believe that because they claim to have found THE TRUTH, then they are required to force all the rest of us to find THE TRUTH?
PS. Why do Christian's use CAPS so often?
However, I hope you will not deny that there are those who are not so tolerant, and even if an idea is expressed respectfully their retort lacks any semblance of politeness. Your example of someone claiming to have found "the truth" and thusly imposing that "truth" upon all of the people they come across is a fine example of what I am saying.
There exists intolerance on all sides of the fence. It is not prevalent, but since we are discussing what occurs in spirituals matters specifically, I thought it prudent to mention that the world is not all "rainbows and smiling faces". This forum, after all, holds the most heated discussions on this site.
I would like to express to you that I have the same distaste for the so-called "truth preachers" as you do (to a greater or lesser degree). Heck, me and Darfius see eye to eye on a matter about, oh, once a month or so. 😉
ps I do not believe the usage of caps has anything to do with theistic belief. 😀

Fair enough! If you stumbled upon this forum expecting to meet all like-minded people one would be rather shocked.
I also try to be tolerant to ideas that are completely alien to mine, and I have to admit that I just can't hack it anymore and explode!😲
And Darf and I shared a virtual beer about a week ago. I was amazed.
