So keep your bridge, actually you should join m on this free bridge to new life.

Christianity costs a person a lot. To get nothing. That's the greatest fallacy of all. That Christians believe they are "gaining" eternal life for "free" (because Christ paid the price) but the opposite is true. You are losing touch with solid reality so you can waste your time wallowing in a lie.
Whoever thought it up (and it wasn't "God") was nothing short of a genius. Not only could such a person(s) convince tons of people of this lie, but money (a lot!) has been made off the lie!
Salvation is a gift through grace from God, now I do not pay for gifts given to me and grace is unmerited love meaning there is noway to earn salvation, seems to be quite free to me. As far as whither I'm wallowing in a lie, death will reveal the truth to all.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
