I knew when I posted this that I would end up regreting it, but I was wrong. I am very pleased with the way this has gone. I think this is one of the best discussions I have seen on any board about this subject. But my friends please let me remake my point, as I think it has become somewhat murky:
This is a man who has come to a crossroads in his life. He had a choice to make. One path led to a certain sad and drug addled end, and the other to a place of enlightenment and happiness, and in this moment, when many weak and batterd men choose to do the easy thing and continue in their wicked, hurtful ways this man stood up for change, and for right. This post was for him. It was my expression of happiness for him, and my appreciation to God for revealing himself to him. Wether or not you yourself believe in God, or not doesn't really matter. This is for Brian Welch, not for us. I for one wish him many blessings in his new faith. I would hope that we could all join in that sentiment. Lets not debate who, or what, or even if God is, and instaed let us all rejoyce in the "new life" of this "new man".
