Well, just gotta stay with this one 'cause if I can bring one person to the Lord then it's a bargain... This ain't about emperical evidence, it's about Faith... If any one you were to read the Gospels and the letters of Paul, I think you might come awy with different opinions. Yes, these books weren't written until well after Jesus's death but should that matter? There is a commonality that can be found that, thoungh not empirical, points to a man, Jesus, that had a lot to say about man's relationship to God.

Like a mid-course correction, Jesus (or whomevr you want to plug in here) taught the lessons of a "Loving God" and "forgiveness"... These are some pretty important changes that have allowed us to not only have a relationship with God but also create a situation where we can shed guilt as we do so...

Like I said, those of us who are *true* Christains of Faith, know in our hearts that our Faith is of definate benefit in our lives...

Praise be to God....
