Could you write an article called "Ten Reasons to Have a Religion" so I know where you stand on it?
You say the Bible inspires you, but then you won't say how, or what parts inspire you, or what loving actions or avenues in life the Bible has opened up for you. You won't even say how you're personally helping the downtrodden, which is something you mentioned, though that really has nothing thing to do with religion anyway.
It sounds like you are basically just scared of Hell. Is that the main reason you believe? Because you'll go to Hell if you don't? |
Dan - c'mon man - tone or delivery is 99% of communication dude! Do you have kids? Try this out - "hey moron, you need to do better in English tomorrow."
Nice job of pigeon-holing me into your Class C (or is it B?) of Christian. Yes, I must be one of those "scared of Hell" Christians based on some nonsense you've dreamed up.
Other than that, your request is reasonable - just not something I have time for this week. I'll keep the invitation open if you don't mind - and see how this weekend looks.
Oh, boy - am I ever looking forward to seeing what label I can be attached to next.
Take care.
