All us youth need to become an army for God. By the time we all hit 20 only 4% of us know who God really is. We need to stand up for God. I mean he created us. And loves us and what more could we ask for. Gods always been there for us. Even though it may seem like he's never there, but he is. God's never went away. And he died for us on the cross. So just think about it. Get real with God!

Great stastistic. Dare I ask for a source? While we're on information too subjective to be made into statistics, people who skip church over a five-year period are 18% smarter than those who don't.

Thanks Audreee. All the things she said were right about what i was talking about.

yes, it is said that he died for us. but it isn't said that he died for only those who lived in the A.D days (after death).. so what if some people died before he was born?! actually, normally speaking, he probably died for those who lived before him than the ones after coz it was their sins that he knew of..it was d ones that piled up before ours did.

And I don't think she meant another crusade coz she said we should stand up for God. She didn't say anything like forming groups and going out to the world spreading God.. (with hidden agendas)..

Also, she didn't say anything about putting up and worshiping crosses or using any idols.. she just said that we should remember what jesus did on the cross.. not making a bloody portrait of whom ever.

I think she meant by 'become an army'.. is to stand up for God when it seems like your about to lose hope in him.. i think she meant to be strong for Him and hold on to whatever faith you got..

and i think she meant the message to those who believed in Jesus (probably) coz she said that "by the time .. we wont know who God really is" <sumthing like that>.. so if you don't think the message fits you, then y didn't you just ignore it and let her be than be mad about it..

I think its really lame that people try 2 morally degrade someone or someone's opinion by using out-of-place and senseless reasoning..

...and oh yea.. for those who are really keen on proper spelling, punctuation and grammar.. i can type however i want so just lay-off me!

There's only one thing I'm really confused about. Jesus died for us, correct? So what about all of the people who died before Jesus?

And you say we should create an army. Are you suggesting another crusade? Because I think enough people died the last dozen or so times.

Stand up for Him? How so? Do you honestly expect me to run around preaching to my peers? Ain't gonna happen. I'm happy with the way I think about this, and they're happy in their thinking. Why would I want to change that? Besides, I'm not really into this "second coming" thing a lot of people talk about. Jesus wasn't God, to me, he was merely a guy with extremely good morals, like Gandhi, or Mother Teresa. So why do we call Jesus God? Why not St. Francis? Or any other nice person?

But that's a rant for another time. Sorry if I rambled.

yes lets do that and maybe we can do one for Licoln to.

You think if jesus ever comes back he'll want to see cross? How about his dead body hanging from one... How about we make little idols of JFK getting shot in the head and chunks of his brains flying out. So if he ever comes back he'll look at these idols and know we felt his pain.

Thanks for that important information.
