did you ever truly have a heartfelt conviction that your beliefs were what were going to save you from eternal damnation? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Reason I'm all about basically 'believe what you believe and stick to it' ...is because I realize that I have brain...so maybe I should use it as Titan (i think..im high at the moment) so aptly put it..
And--my brain, once it realizes that if I was going to believe in concept of christianity--then God, and in a way, Satan, were a lot bigger than the capacity of all reasoning that I would ever have. Understanding that I'm automatically at a disadvantage for understanding all of the events around me...I realize that fellow humans reasoning of 'Why would God do that?' or 'How could he let that happen?', is futile... We as human beings are made up to respond--absorb the surroundings, and LIVE. Part of that is on the emotional-level, which is understanding of our 'natural' soundings..
If you believe in God--then you believe that there is more to 'it' than stated above.... 66% of the world going to hell? I dunno, I'm not God--so I'm not going to make that decision. But going back to the topic of this post--Christianity is pretty straight forward...saying an Atheist is going to Heaven, according to the bible, is a false statement.
Don't ever believe something because someone else told you to...it won't mean anything--find it out for yourself. If you don't, then you probably never cared enough to begin with..
