I really appreciate Matt’s view. He demonstrates the true love and equality that exemplifies the essence the christian faith- what it should be. He seems to truly practice the faith he professes. I left the church years ago and often feel reticence when hearing a faith based message but I didn’t feel that way when Mr.Trombley spoke.

i am not sure what is your meaning of taking an example of Hong Kong. (2.54″). I hope you really know what Hong Kong people are really suffering, before making a conclusion like this.

This guy claims to be Christian, but he cuts his hair and shaves his face. Lol. Actions speak louder than words, man. Would be nice if you could stop bullshitting us, that’s all.

sorry, there is no intelligent designer and if u believe in that, your belief is grounded on logical mistakes

You can’t provide proof of no intelligent designer nor can anyone prove to you existence of one? Even Stephen Hawking said there seems to be evidence of design due to the order of the universe. Do you really believe order from disorder? It’s fine if you do. We all deserve free choice and respect.

there is literally no reason in trying to believe in something that can’t be disproven. All religion just has its foundations on phenomenons that couldnt be explained at the time, why would it be different with this one.

I’m not religious but I know people who sincerely are. Why should I try to take that away from them anymore then they insist I believe too?

what benefits do religion give to people? values and morals? read the bible again and you will figure out that you dont wanna be with a person that behaves like its advocated in the bible or other religious texts. Also i think behaving morally because you are afraid of judgement day is quite questionable. Community? there are lots of other communities that are not founded on some made up belief.

Well you said something I really believe in it (concentrating on common things between us) I absolutely agree with him.
Diversity is life nature so if we take it as reason to hate each other is will be an awful thing. Life is about accepting and sharing.
If you see one colour is not like if you see many different colours !!! Diversity is grace and beauty.
