Lek gave up following the Catholic Church because it was... too hard? Too many rules?
That doesn't sound like someone who seriously thinks their immortal soul is in the balance.
Good point Rob. The rules and laws did stress me out, but I wouldn't have left the catholic church if I didn't see that the rules weren't biblical. I never stopped being a christian in the process. I just grew in my faith and followed what the scriptures taught me. Christianity isn't some rigid set of beliefs that we grit our teeth and accept, but rather a relationship with Christ that continues to develop throughout our lives. I assume you're an evolutionist, but I'm sure you don't agree with every evolutionist as to how every detail of the process occurred. Christians follow Christ, but have disagreements on certain meanings of scripture. Nobody has perfect understanding of scripture on the day they die, but we all rely on Christ for our salvation.
