Quote by: Flip Jackson You ask a good question about how you can accept Christianity with its many interpretations. Well, I will not try to convert you to my form of belief, as I believe in a setting like this I would accomplish very little except for bringing ridicule upon myself. I will say this. Technosoul had a good point. Christianity agrees on many of the same points. Most importantly I wouldn't worry about an eternity of damnation. |
Again I think you are missing Locutus's point. Everybody is suspicious of any story if there are several different versions of it, let alone thousands. This very fact throws the entire thing into disrepute.
Secondly I think you are being overly generous about your claim that "Christianity agrees on many of the same points". It is not the points that explanations agree on that makes them questionable. It is the points where they disagree that does it. Sure your bank can send you several statements with differing amounts but hey .... they all use numbers! So who should care? Such a justification is just silly. It is not a justification that anyone would accept in any other circumstance. It is just another example of a double standard.

You asked why you couldn't be "saved" for being a good person. Many people claim you have to be Christian. I say that you try as hard as you can to be a good person and try to not let fear motivate you. I think as long as you try to do waht is best for you and others people, you have nothing to fear. Try to be open-minded as well, that always helps. :)

You work on that new covenant with god. If you need help on the negotiations let me know. I drive a hard bargain.
