I don't know exactly what, if anything, you have against Christianity, but this is my response. God, faith, and Christianity are not bad things. They help people whether they are true or not.... People just want something to believe in. If you spend your whole life believing in Christ and it turns out to be a falsehood, you have lost nothing, and if it turns out to be true, you have gained an eternity in the most perfect place ever created. Or you can not believe in Christ and if it turns out to be false you have still lost nothing, but if it turns out to be true you have gained an eternity in the most horrible place ever created. I have made my choice, have you made yours? He will forgive you for this if you ask him....

God Bless,

Does anyone else hear an echo?

I don't know exactly what, if anything, this person has against Islam, but ... oh, skip it.

Not only an echo, but an echo of Pascal's Wager, which has been swatted down so thoroughly so many times it's not even interesting any more.

Here's a list of articles on SecWeb that thoroughly deal with this dead horse.

And I'm puzzled as to how God could help anyone if he were not true...

Looks like somebody needs to take off those rose-coloured glasses and re-read(or, as is equally likely, read it for the first time) the holey buy-bull, and brush up on their history.

Errr, getting to sing praises to god 24/7? Sounds like the perfect place for an egocentric, insecure despot, but not for those of us mere mortals who don't like to brown-nose...

If christianity is true(which I don't believe for a second), I'll choose to go to hell on principle.

Wow, somebody just ate a triple ban. That's impressive.

Bring back his ears, Mods.

No other thread has so profoundly touched me and...oh, look, a paperclip!
