Christians: how do you sleep at night?
RE: Christians: how do you sleep at night?
The culture we live in effects our language. I doubt Muslims in Saudi Arabia use Jesus in casual language. It doesn't mean anything besides the fact that culture effects language.

Sorry, prof, were you saying something? I fell asleep the moment you started chatting about the bible.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Those that are able to give it all over to god probably sleep better than the adults among us do.

Oh, I never did answer the OP's question. I sleep great.

Whateverist, you remind be of the necessity of becoming like a child to enter the Kingdom.
It is the opposite of sophistry- from which we get sophisticated (now considered a good thing- in keeping with the trend of twisting meanings)

Become like a child: Ignorant, dependent, and gullible.

Yeah, I heard about this crap when I was a child. And I thought it was crap. So that wouldn't make any difference.

Yes, and...
And language affects our culture...just ask the French, who on occasion expunge their official dictionaries of any word thought to be non-French...

Nobody wants to be like a child. Even children don't want to be like children. As soon as a child is old enough to understand what little means, they already don't like being called a little boy or little girl. Even if they're two or three years old, not long after the toddler age.

Children are easier to control, though, and religion is all about control. Most people wouldn't want to be called sheep either, btu christians take pride in being part of a flock.

So heaven is full of drooling, gurgling idiots sitting in a pile of their own filth?

... I think I just answered my own question.
