Then you need to realize that there are like 4 people on this board who might respond to anything you say and so if you dont wanna get into it with them you might as well keep quiet. Its nothing personal against you I feel the same way about any other parent filling up they offsprings head with any kind of religious nonsense. This is why I posted the hellmouth video so you can understand how deeply I hate religion as a whole.

God communicates in ways other than verbally, ie: Through answered prayers; God-given thoughts; The Holy Spirit speaking to you through reading, dreams, meditation, etc.
