Au contrere, mon ami, God hasn’t said crap to me. Only people have, and bunches of people say different things. If God really cares about each person, he’d give me the power to recognize the right one. Since none have jumped out at me, because none have, I’m going to have to reject the idea that God does care. read some verses in the Bible. God talks through that. i can get some specific verses if you want.
Anyways, I would never try to live like Christ. He let his friends suffer just to prove a point, something I would never do. I’m going to live the way I know best and that’s it. some specifics please. i don’t recall anywhere when he does it.

If you’re not letting in either, then name a reason I should accept religion? If I don’t believe it, I become the liar you don’t let in, and I waste time for the same result. My way, I have a better chance, at least, and don’t have to waste any time.
the only way to be "let in" is accept God. works don’t make it. no matter how good. most likely the hipocrite is not a Christian, but if he was i would let him in over an enemy, because he still accepted Christ. but being a hipocrite is not one of the best things in the world. not all christians are hipocrites.

in answere to orange:

how do you figure?

I don’t accept rapid decay because there is no evidence to support it.

But you killed somebody. isn’t that bad? so wouldn’t that cancel out the "good" dead you just did? then you are in no better shape than earlier...

One life for hundreds? Are you kidding me? That’s not even a question in my book- you save the hundreds.

You can not make it to heaven by works

Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so no one may boast."

All the more reason I could never follow such a faith that doesn’t value saving the innocent. Any faith that doesn’t value innocents more than some idealism is not something I could ever be proud to follow. And if it means something to you, I would think Christ would have tried to save the people.

you have to understand in the story of lazarus, God was showing all He had power over.


It is all well and good to do good works, but it can’t and won’t buy salvation.

let me ask you this, which is more important?

the physical actions ?
the mental actions ?
or both mental and physical ?

Or perhaps the intention behind actions? I believe that if somebody tries their individual best to do the right thing and a religion believes that person is unworthy of a final reward, that’s pitiful. Where can you draw the line? People with mental disabilities might not be able to comprehend religion. But if they try their hardest to be good, they deserve heaven as well, whether or not they can accomplish the task of comprehending religion. If you deny the rights of the handicapped, then I’m going to have to reject your religion on principle. That’s just wrong.

wOW THIS HAS GONE ON FOR 13 PAGES wAIST OF TIME

To the red at the bottom: Well, I don’t think you can be completely sure that the ONLY way to make it in is accepting God. Lets say I was on another highjacked flight but I killed the highjackers and regained control of the plane. I think that’s worthy of a trip to heaven, don’t you? Let’s say I saved a bunch of kids from a burning building and died in the process, I’d say that’s pretty worthy. If you deny that these are worth getting into heaven, then religioin has lost it’s morals somewhere.
