Hi, luckie's fiancee here; she actually really has read the bible cover to cover. She was very religious at one point in her life, church going, faith healing, god following... you name it. So, hey, I dunno, maybe actually know what you're talking about before you make broad statements, ebg.

Quote:Comparative theology is interesting. I'm not convinced that a believer must pick the right religion, just that they pick one and mine its depths. As long as the goal is love, I think god will be merciful.

Is this a specifically religious love, Chad? Or can my secular goal of love incite god's mercy too?
