It was just a few years ago, growing up in a Peanut Worshipping family, that I went to Peanut Temple, had faith, prayed - occasionally and read the Peanut Book of Crap - again occasionally. Then the boss of my father, invited us all over to the States, for a conference on Peanut teachings in the Peanut Book of Crap. It was my first time away and I enjoyed the time, but something better, more amazing happened. There in sunny USA for the first time, in the desert of Arizona something else happened...

As I was really a man now, it was time for me to make a decision about The Peanut King and this trip, made up my mind, that I wanted The Peanut King and wanted to avoid Being Roasted by the evil doers at KP. I was sitting in a room, when I asked The Peanut King into my heart. I suddenly felt the difference, I was relieved, my sins were off my shoulders and on the cross. The Peanut King was living in me, in my life and in my heart. What a great day! You might think, is it really that easy? Do you really just pray and feel different? The answer is YES. If you confess you are a SINNER, you believe The Peanut King died for YOUR SINS and He LOVES YOU, you will be saved! That's what I did anyway.

Anyway, thinking that was it for the day, having asked Jesus into my heart - enough for one day, I went to bed. Next morning I woke up early to reflect on the previous day, when a gleam of light, glistened through the bathroom door. I opened it, to get ready for the day, when I went to the sink, to wash. As I reached for the sink (with nothing on my feet), I wobbled unsteadily, before I felt myself falling. It felt like minutes, but in reality, it was seconds, before I fell... head-first straight onto the cold, hard, marble like bathroom floor. I was soon carried away and into safety, but the pain wrang around in my head, for days.

As I went back down to the conference, head still hurting, most of the ateendees met with me and they told me that I had been attacked by Mr KP, but The Peanut King had protected me. How true that sounded! I had no long lasting damage to my head and enjoyed the rest of my trip. I met P. Nut out there and his name reminds me that the Peanuts looked after me in Arizona. I never really thought much about hurting my head, because it soon healed after much ice and rest, but recently I reminded myself of it. I was doubting I was really saved, when the The Peanut King reminded me I am on the Peanut King's side and I accepted Him the day I was saved and Mr KP tried to get me the next day - but he was just too late.

Maybe you're finding this a tad ridiculous Forest Fan?

That's exactly what all the crap you say seems to us.

I agree with that - the point of the original message wasn't just of ridicule, but to show Forest Fan just how we see his 'testimony'.

However, as much as I don't believe in Forest Fan's semi-beliefs, I still respect he has them. I just don't like the way he tries to force it on others as fact.

Why not? They aren't his genuine beliefs, they're no more genuine than down's. So the only difference between this post and FF's is that it didn't try to deceive people. That and the joke was there for everyone.

Besides which, it was in jest, so should only be taken seriously by those with a sense of humour labotomy. Even if you don't think it was funny (I agree it got thin quickly) you can at least dislodge the bug from your a$$ (not aimed at anyone personally) and accept that it was just a joke.

Also it makes a reasonably valid point at the end.

Fair play - what Lil Ginge says is right. We shouldn't be mocking his beliefs, but then again, we aren't getting any answers from Forest Fan.

That's all I want.

At present, my only belief in the Bible is that it is a guide to morals. It shouldn't be taken word for word, but should be analysed, should make you think about how you live your life, and that should be all it takes for any loving God to accept that person into heaven.

After all, any person could do whatever it is Forest Fan says it is required, but then commit adultery, rape, murder, and still believe they are going to heaven, whereas I certainly would not consider them worthy of such an eternity, should it exist.

I admit I do not know. I don't know what I am going to be doing in the next ten minutes, let alone what's going to happen to me when I die (which could be in the next ten minutes for all I know). What I do know is that I don't think I'll be the one finding God, but if God exists, I would like him to find me.

I look at science for answers as science, atleast modern science, tends to look at all the facts and comes to a conclusion - which does get reformed many times as new discoveries are made. We aren't going to find any answers if we keep a closed mind, and trying to disprove centuries old theories that scientists already consider old news isn't going to help. To look for answers instead of disproving the wrong ones isn't going to help you, or anyone else. Finding the truth will.

So Forest Fan, I understand you believe the Bible is word perfect, but you need to understand that I don't. Therefore, quoting many passages from the Bible isn't going to help me find answers, it is going to put me off believing.

I would like to believe in something. But I need something solid to focus my belief on, and I haven't found that something yet.

Y'know, when my mate from work told me he believed in God and went to church (with his family) the first thing I thought was that I had to "fix" him. To make him realise he was wrong. Isn't that amazing? Of course I realised I had no right, but the fact that as SOON as he told me he was a christian, I felt I had to do something about it, was just weird.

But then Forest Fan feels he has to "fix" us.
