If I "found" salvation in Christ then I would have to follow "your" doctrine. Also, as history has shown, if the christians have political power then my "decision" would be follow the way of Christ or die. Much like what your god says "believe or die".
Most of my doctrine comes through the Baptist church, some of this may not be totally true and some I've developed myself through the study of scripture which could also be wrong, accepting Christ as your savior and following His teachings the best you can is what I was trying to say. As far as "do or die," is some crazy delusion you've dreamed up. Why? IMO you want to remove yourself from the loving grace of God by trying to run down a gift that can't be had except from God through Christ.

The historical data is very clear sir. When Christianity is in power people die if they don't follow Christ or if the people in power imagine that the guilty don't follow Christ "correctly".
also clearly since God made hell he put the choice to us "worship me or burn/die". On top of that this god confuses the issue by not giving clear evidence of any sort of afterlife to the living so now we must gamble.
there is no gift in this weather you want to see this religion for what it is historically or what the fairy tales in the book says.
If you had seen my introduction you would already know that i did try salvation in this Christ. It didn't work. There was no god no Christ, not to me anyway. If the Christians would get it through their thick heads into their closed minds that not every one HAS to be Christian then this world might be a better place. Give it a try. I know you wont. you cant.
