Seems to me, a sure sign of sincerity of belief might include making at least a stab at following Christ's teachings. Hence, the rest of us may not choke when calling them 'Christians'.
If orangebox21 is making a stab at a cogent defense of 'cafeteriaism', I'm going to need to see a WHOLE bunch more than that.
Particularly if orangebox21 admits to being remarried following divorce, or goes to church on a day other than the sabbath, or failing at about 600 other rules, strictures, edicts, decrees, commandments, and laws.

In order for a contract to be legally binding in the US requires an offer and voluntary acceptance between two persons who are legally competent.
Since there is no evidence for any god on the one part and since most xtians are mentally deranged on the other, no such contract could possibly exist.

Does the inverse apply to the "bad" which Muslims commit via their personal understanding of their beliefs.
I think there are people who do some good things, but overall, there are no really good people. I think we're all bad people.

To think the poor woman dedicated her life to helping others just to rot away.
I believe her soul is in earth's upper atmosphere!
My GPS spotted it whilst triangiulating sattelites, and for some weird reason, the GPS kept wanting to take me to the closest church!
(Excluding toll roads and unsealed surfaces of course).

You guys actually have the gall to try to disparage Mother Teresa's lifetime work which gave comfort and hope to thousands of needy people. I have to say that shows a lot of class and compassion.

Considering that according to the bible we are already catalogued as condemned because of what Adam and Eve did prior our birth.
And then saved only if we accept the salvation from jesus sacrifice that happens as well before our birth.
Yea I think is fair to assume that the bible is a universally binding contract.
And it's the worst kind of contract. One we were tagged along without even asking us first what we think.

In nerd lingo the bible will therefore qualify as a :
KOBAYASHI MARU
No God, No fear.
