In response to:
And secondly, this "well, you're just being resistant to Christianity just for the sake of being resistant" and "the explanation behind everything rests solely on faith" attitude is just one giant Christian loophole--it allows Christians to brush off anything argumentative (such as, for example, trying to make sense of where dinosaurs fit into the story of creation and the evolution of man) by saying, "Well, we can never really know but I'm sure God will reveal the answer to these questions to us once we're dead and gone." It's like a giant anti-self-reflective loophole really.
I could say the same about athiests and their science "loophole", which seems to allow them to brush off anything religiously argumentative. I'm not saying that dinosaurs didn't exist, I'm saying that scientific belief is far from concrete.
In response to:
just a question: are you still looking for god?
Yes, but I'm more confused than ever about what exactly "God" is. I wish I could explain this better than I'm about to. I still pray, but I'm not sure who it is I'm praying to -- does my search for "God" require me to choose? Sometimes I pray to a person named "God", sometimes I meditate in an effort to get in touch with the "universal whathaveyou", sometimes I feel like I'm just talking to myself... Don't get me wrong, all these things continue to provide me with a sense of hope/love/etc. that I haven't felt before, but is it just the act, or is it something more? If it is, in fact, something more -- what? Perhaps the answers are still in transit, or perhaps they'll never come in a definitive enough way for me to wholly accept. I want the answers, though, I want answers that I can wholly accept, but perhaps this is asking too much. Perhaps the space between the answers I'm getting and answers I can wholly accept is meant to be filled by faith.
And, finally, in response to:
Dude, are you ever gonna post again?
No.
