Immortality = Bigger gift.

Everlasting love = Biggest gift of them all.

Everlasting love in an Earthly Paradise Free from crime, war and torment.

Free from violence and bullies.

True Christianity.

Isis & Osiris with NO Set & Nepthys or those damned satanic "little helpers".

No "devils" no "satans" no jealousy.

A Loving Peace.

Transliteration is a wonderful thing isn’t it? It can cause an atheist and a-theist to agree...

Reality, actually. But atheism does not imply hopelessness. Hopelessness more aptly describes nihilism.

And Christianity = false hope.

Only condition is simple non-meritorious faith no strings are applied or implied and once received the gift is never taken back.

So Christianity can also be summed up as:

Faith

Santa Claus gives gifts.

If I refuse one he tries to give me, he certainly doesn't punish me for doing so. Take it or leave it, either way makes no difference to him. That's where the strings come in; if you don't take God's "gift", you're screwed.

Great, then I don't need to repent, etc. Did it once already.
