man! preach! Here in Kansas City we have a church (thats growing) called Restoration Church. These guys are from California, ex-gang bangers, drug addicts, etc. I mean they will show you their Heroine marks! Anyway, I always found it interesting that the belief in God changes everything.
Like my mom would never talk to one of these guys on the street, BUT they believe in God so she will talk to them when she sees these guys "marketing" for money on the street.
Phil,
your situation with your wife is much much much like mines. Its funny that my wife is always asking me things about the world and what I believe. Sometimes she wonders how I became an Atheist, but you should see her eyes when we watch the History, Discover, etc channels. She is amazed.
Last night I read to hear the preface of Intelligent Thought. It seems like a really good book, go find it!
