		<description>Sorry, but I can&#039;t edit comments-

I meant this:

Thank you, again. And by the way, don’t know if these are validated or not, which if it is, the following should be ignored, but :P
I’d suggest not allowing &lt;strong&gt; in comments, unless you/Wordpress checks somehow to not allow something such as &lt;strong&gt;

Except, ignore the spaces ;p</description>

		<description>Wow... hmm, don&#039;t know how to explain. I guess a simple way of putting it would be: thank you, you&#039;ve, basically, just saved me. You&#039;ve confirmed, to me atleast, that I should follow Christianity. I always have, just lately, I&#039;ve been doubtful... but, well, it&#039;s just too hard to explain.

		<description>Expressing my opinion through a comment on your blog is silly as you already know my position on the matter. Of course it&#039;s silly to believe in God. Just as you think it is to believe in any other religion. Religion is, and always has, fucked up the world. 9/11... good times. Crusades? w00t! You don&#039;t see Atheists blowing up buildings or killing people for their beliefs.
I&#039;ll leave with one note: You have no proof the Flying Spaghetti Monster doesn&#039;t exist. Believing in an imaginary figure just for you to have comfort in your life, can be directly compared to the FSM and is just as silly.

PS: &quot;In God We Trust&quot; was added in the 50s. And &quot;one nation under God&quot; is also quite modern. Just pointing that out. :D</description>

		<description>As an atheist and a member of Scouting For All (an organization that is trying to convince the BSA to stop excluding gay and atheist/agnostic Scouts), I&#039;d be interested to know if you agree or disagree with the BSA&#039;s policy of excluding atheists/agnostics.  It sounds like you were an atheist in Scouting for several years, and could have been kicked out if your atheism became known.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Silly Jere.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
You didn&#039;t have anything better to contribute than that? At least Lewis put some thought behind his reply.</description>

		<description>&quot;My God teaches me to love my fellow man, not push my beliefs on him and attack him if he doesn’t accept them&quot;

But according to the Christian Bible, those who worship the the wrong religions are damned to eternal hell. Surely they were trying to do the right thing, but were ill-informed. I thought Christians taught forgiveness, yet to damn someone to hell for worshipping the wrong god seems hypocritical.</description>
