    What ever possessed you to send this to the LSM list?
    
    I am a Christian, and I don't go around sending spam to a mailing list 
    intended for technical discussions on Linux security.  If you claim to 
    follow Christ, the least you can do is offer people some respect.

    avoid meeting God?" If a person is really seeking the truth, then there 
    are some very valid reasons for believing in the reality of God. If not, 
    there will probably never be enough proof to satisfy them. For the 
    sincere seeker, here are some ideas. (Note: The Bible never argues for 
    the existence of God, it simply assumes it.) We know there is a God for 
    several reasons¡­.

    intricate that the idea of chance or coincidence being the means by which 
    such intricacy developed is laughable. If you would never assume all the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle could assemble themselves by just shaking the box, why would you assume that such amazing order and organization in the physical world occurred by means of random events. (If there is a design, there must be a Designer. Romans 2:4). (Theologians call this the "Teleological Argument".) 
    > People¡¯s own hearts tells them that there is a God¡­.. otherwise they 
    would not have asked the question in the first place. There is a basic 
    inborn "guidance system" within every person of every culture and time 
    period that enables them to sense right/wrong, fair/unfair, good/bad. 
    This is far beyond a physical mechanism. It is the implanting of an inner 
    sense of "law" that must have been given by a greater mind. (If there is 
    a law, there must be a Lawgiver. Romans 2:14-16). (Theologians call this 
    the "Moral Argument".) 
    > You can¡¯t explain Jesus Christ unless God exists. The life, words, and 
    works of Jesus are well documented in history for the honest researcher 
    to see. If He was a real person, then it is crucial to determine the 
    truthfulness of His claim (that He was the divine Son of God¡­ indicating 
    the reality of God, Himself). Jesus even said (in John 14:7-11) that His 
    own reality was inseparable from that of God¡¯s. Jesus Christ (using the 
    logic of C. S. Lewis) was either a legend, a liar, a lunatic¡­ or the 
    Lord that He claimed to be. And if His claims stand up, then there must 
    be a God, existing as the ultimate Reality.
