There you go again with that bullshit of claiming mankind is evil by nature. Arrogance.
I'm starting to think you are a Pentecostal.[/b]1. How can it possibly be considered arrogant for me to point the "evil" finger at myself?
2. If you are so certain that we're not evil by nature, show me in the Bible where it says otherwise.
I know you don't like people to use Bible quotes, but dude, to ask a Christian to explain the Christianity without using anything from the Bible...that's just impossible. You can't ask the NFL to start using the NBA's rules. The NFL's rules are the skeleton on which the gaming structure is built. Take that away and it simply doesn't function.
