That's an odd thing to say. Because many christians that i've meet seem to think otherwise.
Religion is the strangest thing I've ever incountered. Theists even on the same religion can't come to an agreement. Some christians say the divine plan is a plan made by god and some say it isn't. Your religion is chaotic! What is it?
Some christians say you won't go to hell if you never knew about religion and god. Then I hear from other christians that you would go to hell even if you didn't know about it.
All I'm seeing is you and many others like you are impersonating god! You are telling others what you "Think" god wants. Your acting god and your impersonating him. If I was god, i'd be bloody mad if people started saying things like you will go to hell because god says so even though god never said that in the first place.
If god was real, I would think he'd be mightly mad at you for impersonating him. No theist can agree on everything. many christians believe many differant things that contradict other christian views.
I know a christian who is a strong believer who would be moaning at you like crazy. The thing is, none of you can agree. You bring up bible quotes but your only picking the ones that don't mention blood.
You wonder why I don't believe but the reasons are all there. Religion just doesn't make any sense.
There's just something about paradoxical thinking (that has to be done with the 'heart') that keeps Religion alive. Ironically, a whole lot of Christians as described in the above quotes would see it just the opposite, that the fact that they agree on the basics somehow gives validity to their truth claims.
If you practice paradoxical thought, you are able to say "both contradicting things are true" and be perfectly at peace with it (like a Christian friend of mine that holds that evolution and 6-day creation are both true). At which point in the process the mind stops thinking, I don't exactly know, but I think it's right after the question.
