Hey Rami...sorry, not trying to ignore you. Glad you jumped back in, sorry I'm late to the party.

I have a hard time with statements such as 'admit to knowing Jesus Christ personally'. To me, that's really no different than knowing Genghis Khan or Confucius personally. You can't know someone who is dead. (Obviously this is one of the key disagreements that Christians and atheists have)

I could invite you to learn the truth as I see it; that when you die, you're dead, that you must make the best of it while you're here, that doing good deeds needs no reward, it just feels good. Would that make me a believer and you a non-believer?
