BULL, The carrot on the end of the christian stick is heaven.
And by the way I can't believe we had to shame you into responding to that woman who lost her son. It doesnt even sound like you read her story.

You must have some serious gall to use that thread as an outlet for your bitterness! That woman lost her son man!
That thread is a fond tribute to that woman's son, and I think it was extremely distasteful for you to choose that thread to try to somehow challenge my beliefs.
If you have a problem with me, fine! If you have a problem with the rehab that God used to deliver me from an addiction that would have otherwise killed me, FINE! Take it up with me!
And if you think you can bate me into being a bad representation of Christ or Christianity, I have news for you... You probably can! I've been a Christian for six years, and have a lot of growing up to do! I'll be the first to admit that. If you think I'm going to drop to your level of cynicalness, and pick a verbal fight on a thread that is honoring that woman's son, you do not know me very well.
Regarding your above comment, I'll have the last word! You can rot away in your white washed tomb all you want. I choose to stand before the presence of a Holy and Awesome God when I die!
"Blessed are those who are persecuted for My name's sake, for great is their reward in heaven." - Jesus Christ

I came here to present a different view of Teen Challenge that I didn't feel was being properly represented. 90% of the centers are for adults (ages 18 and over). It is that majority that I wanted to offer some insight on.
It was fun how the conversation evolved into a theological discussion, and I always welcome freindly debate about religion.
I'll continue to poke my head in every now and again to see if anyone has any questions about the four Teen Challenge centers that I have first-hand experience with (Philadelphia, San Diego, Riverside, and Pittsburgh).
I'm certainly open for mature discussion about just about anything else as well. I'll no longer respond to irrelevant castigations though.
none-ya:
You offered up nothing useful here. You're just trying to do damage control for teen challenge. You say that they helped you, but you don't seem to care that they've killed others. I guess to you that's a fair trade off. I don't care about your religious beliefs I do however care about your attitude towards survivors and their families. Just because you have a plastic fish,and a WWJD? sticker on your car doesn't make you a good person. I'll bet you're the type who goes out to eat and leaves religious tracts on the table instead of a tip. Keep drinking the kool aid from your holy grail!
