I wasn't going to get involved in this thread, but I *cannot* sit here and let a piece of sanctimonious nonsense like this go past!
What you are saying is "You must do must do it *this* way and this way *alone*, because, out of all the multitude of faiths and beliefs and billions of people out there *WE AND WE ALONE HAVE THE TRUTH* and if you don't do it the way we tell you, you're damned!"
That is the utmost *height* of arrogance and implies that the God you believe in has the attitude and behaviour of a *spoiled child*!
You claim to have the "one true answer", ignoring the fact that there are plenty of other religions out there who *also* claim to have exactly the same thing, yet you cannot see the logical conclusion that follows that if you say *they* are wrong, and they say *you* are wrong, possibly you're *both* wrong!
You sit there smug in your self-righteousness because you know *you're* ok and are quite content to damn everyone else. Forget Christian charity or forgiveness, if they don't do it the right way, they're stuffed.
Frankly I'd be happy if you wake up after you're dead to find that Mumbo Jumbo, God of the Congo is actually The One True God, but as far as I'm concerned, this world is it, it's not a rehearsal, so I'm going to make sure that I try to make people happy and not cause people unnecessary suffering instead of saying "well if you're suffering it's because God wants you to!"
Religion? You can keep it!
