Yes, it has altered my belief's. It has made my faith in God much stronger. It has helped me define my faith, and how I should talk to people about it. What I can claim is real, and what I can't. It helps me to love people (although you would guess that from reading here, but some may have seen a change).

My opinion on the honesty and integrity of (the more traditional)believing Christians has been destroyed. The Attitudes I've seen on here have been very dissappointing to say the least. When challenged to any real degree the tone very quickly turns sour. The posts become personal, the comments become sniping and the responses become diversionary and dishonest IMHO.
I agree with that, but also find the exact opposite of that, to be true. That is people who live by logic, become very illogical when challenged to any degree. Very few have held there "honor", and I respect that. What I find is that no matter who we are, we are just people. One belief may or may not be better than the next, but it is what you make of it personally.
