i am not the angry one...i think my messages show that. you on the other hand are very angry and i just feel sorry for you. i am sorry that i ruffled your feathers, but just like your friend, you still don't answer my questions about your beliefs. you just smirk and get all offensive. i have been nothing but cordial but all you do is try to make fun of me for my belief system. i have not done that to you. i have tried to respect you. no one will answer my questions about what they actually do believe in, just they don't believe in God. i can't get any straight answers...just a bunch of hate-filled remarks from you tommyo. you are nearly 50 years old and this is the best you can do? i tried to find out what you believe...i guess it is a big secret! enjoy what works for you. i will sign out now and not bother you again. i didn't know i was going to upset you so badly.

oh i see...that makes sense. so what is your logic. you didn't answer my questions. what does an atheist believe? i studied it too. i never said that atheist don't ever read the Bible. i only asked you to read it. now i know you read it, okay? why do you get so angry and smirk at me? i just don't know what you believe. perhaps if i knew what an atheist believes, then i wouldn't be so naive. i have read the Bible several times also...and believe it or not, i have quesitons too. i am not your average stereo-type Bible thumping barefoot uneducated hypocrit that gives Christians a bad name. i actually graduated from college with a 4.7 average...not bragging, but just giving my background so you won't think you are dealing with a dummy. i read the same book you read and it changed my life. i understand you having questions. i got mad as hell when God didn't let moses enter the promised land after he wandered in the wilderness for 40 years with those idiots. and many more questions...but it still changed my life. i am not smirking at you or trying to convince you of anything. i just want to understand your logic...what your belief system is...just wanting you to educate me on what you think the truth is. please don't be so angry at me for having my beliefs and wanting to understand yours.

are you serious? who created your parents, and who created their parents and so on? why not read the Bible and find out who created God? why not read it-just out of curiousity? if you don't believe it, then why not just for kicks-read it. why don't you believe in God? is there one specific reason, or are there several reasons? i am just curious. i am not patronizing you. i just don't know any other way of life. how do you think we got here? i know...you parents created you...but, from the beginning? i just wonder what an aethist believes.

btw-i wasn't trying to convince you that there is a God. it's obvious how closed-minded and angry you are. i wasn't always a beliver...but, life is much better knowing the truth. i guess you are hell-bent on dis-believing, so more power to you. maybe you are right and i am wrong and a bunch of stars and planets smacked into each other and all of a sudden these intricately designed people, creatures and "pretty flowers" just all of a sudden appeared! wow! now that takes faith! good luck with that!

wow-angry and sad...

how do you know He doesn't exitst? who do you think created you?

Gosh...before you condemn christianity, maybe you should read the Bible...and read it with an open mind. I clicked on this thread-just curious why someone wrote about such a topic on a lap band website...wow! You folks seem very unhappy and sad. I feel so badly for you. It takes way more faith to believe in this "big bang" theory than it does to believe in Christ. Maybe you could do a little more research. I have found that almost all people who don't believe in God, are angry at Him. One day, we will all know the truth. Just look around you. He made a absolutely beautiful world for us. Everytime I walk outside and see the beatiful flowers & creatures...I know He created those. What about the miracle of birth? Are we so arogant to think that we created ourselves? I am not trying to offend anyone, but if you will really look, and you don't even have to look hard...you can see God's love all around you. Why don't you just give Him a chance- just for the heck of it. What can it hurt?

Hi! Wow! You just have a few days until your surgery. I bet you are nervous. I know I would be. How long did you have to wait from the first time you visited the doctor about this surgery?

I am from Lenoir! I am thinking of going to Dr. Cook. My mom had the gastric bypass about 5 years ago and lost from 269 to 135. She gained about 20 pounds back. I didn't want to go to that extreme, but now considering the lap band. Scared to death though! Any suggestions? PS-I have no insurance so I am going to have to pay out of pocket. How much does this procedure generally cost? I read somewhere $18,000 and read $11,000 somewhere else.

I have been on l ine researching this procedure...scared to death! Wondering about testimonies-negative and positive about the effects...
