OK, makes sense. However, it's true that you *are* a sinner and need to repent; of course, you aren't the only one... I am also even though I'm already a christian. Everybody is. Fact is, the christian message has to teach that everybody sins, but there's hope of repentence because there's help, and the sins have already been dealt with. But, without being able to talk about sin first, how do we get to the hope and help?

Curiosity. Why are you an atheist? Because:
* Done the research and concluded no such thing as God?
* Afraid there really is such a thing as God?
* Afraid he'll say something you don't want to hear?
* If christians are like God, nuuuhh unnnhh!!!!!

(choose one or more) :)

In faith, Dave
