Now that is a good question. As twisted as people are believing in things that can't be seen or heard, well, your guess is as good as mine, but I'm sure it's a lot because of all the hope-less-ness, fear, and debt people are in.

I'm a firm believer in hope. Whatever the item/idea/thing is that gives it to you, I say go for it. Hope never killed anyone. Fear has.

Until you can pony up a perfect person, this is mere conjecture. Try to remember that.

That being said, a truly perfect person, despite having free will, would still be unable to sin, because sinning would be a mistake.

Further, if Adam and (St)eve will not also be resurrected, then by definition the sacrifice of Jesus failed to wholly pay the debt for this so-called "perfect sin."

Is it irony or coincidence that Buckcherry's Out of Line started playing on my Staind Pandora radio station as I read this? Hmm...

Alas, I have no single friends. Sorry.
