Lets get this straight, I have no problem with people believing in God, Jesus, Mohammed, etc. I do have a problem with the concept that according to your book, everyone but yourselves are going to hell. It's pretty much p!ssing off the rest of the world who's not Christian, and it p!sses you guys off when other religions do the same to you.

It just seems like a lot of the main good points about Christianity are being obscured by the hateful and divisive nature of some apsects that affect all of society. It happens in government too, get so mixed up in the details and rules, that they seem to miss the point all together.
By asking that your asking many christians to ignore and separate themselves from long standing beliefs.

Your attempting the same concept which was used in Tim LaHayes fictional Left Behind series. In the series a fictional Cardinal denounced christianity and formed the Omega One Babylon Church, a church that accepted everyone and demanded everyone, even atheists go to heaven.

However such a church in the book didn't stop the fact hell was real and the church members and its founder were thrown into the fiery pit.

And yes, horrible example from a work of fiction, but it shows the point. Your asking christians to modify their belief to be more in accordance with your secular view. The assumption is religion is false, so it should be easy to modify how we practice.

In that case, your using same brainwashing techniques you accuse christians of.


What do you say to an atheist who sneezes?
