All these debates with Visible have been very counter productive..instead of arguing my views of Christianity with him, I could be learning more, reading more scripture, and building my relationship with God. These debates have been a waste of time..nothing I say will sway his outlook, and nothing he says will change mine.
Anyway..I guess this is my official farewell to the Islam Vs. Western World section.
I no longer have the need to defend my beliefs, I just have to have faith that everything I believe is true through the Lord's teaching, and will come to fruition.
By condemning Visible's beliefs I'm just doing exactly what Christ warned us not to do,
and to be honest it's hard enough to walk the straight path and dodge subtle sin, never mind doing things over and over that you know for a fact are wrong.
Visible, take care man.
I'd say it was fun..but it really wasn't..
May God guide you wherever he wills.
Casarvir and Empire I'll pm you guys my msn if you ever want to chat.
God bless and have a great Holiday.

On topic: i always find it hard to believe that someone can "fully" convert into another religion. I would somewhat think that your previous religion would come into your find semi frequentally like in this case when you attend church. Well hopefully she sees the light of God in all her life.
