sure do. They are people who think things over and they are not gonna say I DO until they really do. Not as high a percentage of sheep in them you might say.

No, I don’t think you have to be against religion to have a great change of heart. However, it is difficult to really know your usage of “strongest believer” because so often the word “believe” in the Bible actually means understand, as when James said, show by works, which is to say his belief was understanding which could demonstrate Christ. There are many spiritually strong today that never fought religion, but they did have to overcome by fighting the good fight.

Some of them HAVE seen the LIGHT.
Have you read your History of the Church lately? Or an Arab History of the World? Or Chaim Potok's History of the Jews?
Or just read the Bible. See what religion does to people, in the name of God.
Paul had a character such that he would be strong no matter what he did. It was in his genetic makeup.

Yes, because these people are extremists. They are usually dangerous and can cause long lasting ill-effects on society. Examples include the actions of Al-Quida on 9/11, Paul's intolerance of women and homosexuals, and Timothy McVeigh's attack in Oklahoma City.

I think so, because it is something in them that they have to spend so much energy fighting it that they finally see the TRUTH in it =) just like when I met my husband I thought he was a jerk but he kept staying on my mind and low and behold we have been married 16 years now =)

rofl. Nice try. Doesn't float. No, I think the strongest believers are what cause the strongest protests.

I believe that is not what we do, but what God does. He makes the best and strongest believers.

Truth and honesty to answer your question
Paul of Tarsus was a misogynist conman who turned the Jesus movement into a Mystery cult for his own benefit.
Christians are gullible and ignorant but good at making a lot of meaningless noise. They should be pittied for wasting their lives with superstitious drivel
