The last thing that this post makes me want to do is to go out and research on how I can somehow share your viewpoints.
Good luck with Christianity. I hope that it works well for you. Your attitude seems to be a little different than my understanding of what Christ tried to teach but hey... I am no Christian scholar.
So please next time you decide to speak about Christianity this and Christianity that, go do your research go research how all of the bible prophecy that has been fulfilled

I have and I never saw any evidence that ANY bible prophecy has been fulfilled. All my research has in fact only contributed to my ever growing disgust with organized religion.
As Karl said posts like this make my mind up even further that Christianity is the biggest scam ever. But I guess that means your god of love and forgivness will send me to a pit of eternal torture and pain.
But hey what ever makes YOU happy and gives you peace.

I was raised a Christian but as I have grown and come to know more of the world's beliefs I have been disappointed, not in the message of Christ but in his followers. I have seen more evil done in the name of Christianity than in the name of any other religion. I think Christ would be ashamed of a good deal of the folks that call themselves, "Christians".
love is freedom of choice, love doesnt force itself upon someone else.

Freedom of choice? Let's see, go to hell a place of eternal torture, you know as in getting my fingernails pulled out one by one and hot pokers shoved up my ass - or get "saved" Erm..not much of a choice there.

Umm actually no...you send yourself to hell, if i tell you how to get to my house and you decide to follow a different path and you end up dead, did i kill you? If god told you heres how to get to me and live with me forever and you decide to go another way, not his fault.
Hell is you being seperated from him, he is not sending you there because he wants too, its because you choose too, and a loving god doesnt force himself upon you, love is freedom of choice, love doesnt force itself upon someone else.

Theres a reason why the bible says do not intoxicate your mind.
Mean while all the new agers hold Jesus Christ as their great teacher, meanwhile they don't follow his teachings!

Ok, if GOD comes up to me and says, Harman, come on and listen to me. This is what is going on and that is the road to salvation. Go there my friend and bliss will come to you after this life. just hang on in there and be a good Christian for a few decades so you can be welcome in my realm of eternal bliss and joy i would at least think about it, but who want's an eternal leader that would be diagnosed with Borderline syndrome if it where a human?
So i've said it a million times and will say it again i can and will not follow a leader blindly that goes against my own moral fiber and if that makes me a person that deserves hell for following it's own free will and without hurting anyone i will take what is coming to me. I believe in a god but not in a biblical way, i do not believe we are all gods but that the consciousness in the universe, carnate and discarnate, makes up the whole of what some may call God.
If i'm wrong and you and yours really are Speaking The Truth i really was created in a disfunctional universe and the creator itself, creator of all his children is an evil God if he misleads or allows to mislead his most loved ones (as stated in the bible).

Where was that stated in the bible? Do you even know what you have to do for salvation? apperently not.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Yeah what a evil god he is, believe in me and you shall be in heaven i will forgive all of your sins or mistakes
YEA totally evil man!!!
