Quote:The only way we can live a truly happy life is by loving God and doing his will.This is a pretty strong claim that's unlikely to match the lived experience of..well..anyone here - yourself included.
Quote:Money, power, sex, material things never make anyone truly happy. Our secular society is a miserable society.Maybe speak for yourself. There is a long list of things that don't make you happy. You're miserable.
Here's what I wonder. Why do you need to believe this stuff? It's comically false on it's face - but you're insistent. Do you actually think there's no one out there that really is happy without your god? That this is just impossible? Would it diminish your own beliefs or self appraisal to accept that there are - and more of them than there are christians, no less?
