If you 'come out' as a believer, you just have to bear the consequences! 馃槈. I sometimes fantasize about having the connection that Elijah had when he made the prophets of Baal look like fools, but today's atheists would not believe if fire came down from heaven and selectively destroyed everything that they considered valuable. It's predestined just like the 'elect' are predestined.
@whowasthatmaskedman I like those two. I like the 'deliberate no nonsense' vibe he puts out.

@puck61 Oh, My Friend... there are no consequences to fear. I like to have a good discussion that hopefully doesn't degenerate into personal insults... with the goal of encouraging folks to really think about what they believe to be true. I have been honored in my life to be used by the Lord in some situations that resulted in some pretty amazing and breathtaking outcomes... so I can definitely imagine Elijah on Mount Carmel.
@ms20182878 I believe in God and I believe in "Godshots" I have an adolescent-like impulsiveness when it comes to sharing about the gift of grace. I think it is the simplicity that makes so many 'draw back'. People say to themselves, "It can't be that simple!" My faith is strong, but my fundamentalist friends would think me a heretic.
