"Religion is man reaching up to God. Christianity is accepting that God reached down to man."

Edited to add the quotation marks. Wouldn't want anyone thinking I agree with it...

Both of which are dangerous. I don't believe anything without proof, or trust anyone without reservation!

"It's not a religion, it's a relationship."

Maybe I'm just too dense, but I can't see the difference.

A relationship is something you have with a real person. A religion involves a fictional entity. So the above platitude is just a flat-out lie.

But I'm assuming you do believe in him. What proof do you have? If you have no proof and still believe in him, what relavence does your above claim have?

If you do have proof, please... do tell. If there was any substantial evidence, I don't think this forum would exist.

God is love.

If god is love, why the fuck make up another word?
