Brilliant. The world is forever in debt to you for your efforts. Unfortunately, most of it's not aware of it (YET)! Thanks for making others aware.

I'm back.. I've grown in faith and in dispute for the church, which cares more for itself than God!

I thirst for debate! I bet I can challenge everything thing you say about the faith! I'm only 15 so I can't be on all the time but I'll jump-on once in a while...

Do you accept my challenge?

Correct.
             In order for it to be a simile it needs to use like or as in the comparison.

... It's just a comparison, it's neither a simile nor a metaphor.

Religion is so easy to disprove you need not even look into the reasons it's wrong, the reason it claims it's RIGHT is enough.

Hello Mr. or Ms. emailer;
I'd not heard that pillow expression before, it's an interesting way to put it. I agree, the site's owner deserves kudos- his website,  the videos, and forum are making a difference as far as awareness.  This is the sort of "Mailbag" email that is great to read; Please do  join the forum.

Correct.
             In order for it to be a simile it needs to use like or as in the comparison.

It is, in fact, a simile.   A simile doesn't have to literally use only the word "like" or "as" - sometimes it can use another comparative word.
