1st Tim 2:4 (God) will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

1st Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Quote:Saying that is what Christianity is about is like saying this is what evolution is all about. Total strawman and you should know better.

How about this summary:

Christianity is the belief that God sent himself down to earth to be his own son so that he might be able to sacrifice himself to himself because bleeding on a cross was the only way that he could convince himself to forgive us for the fact that we are his flawed sinful creations due to the fact that an ancestor of ours who was made from a rib ate a magic fruit after speaking with a talking snake.

...oh, and love is evil when the body parts are similar.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
