My Escatological Vision

[OnlyNatural]

I believe that a nonbeliever seeking truth is going to end up finding Christ. And the Church at Vatican II and in the Catechism strongly suggest teh same thing.

So all paths lead to your God. Too bad every other religion thinks the same thing about their god. They can't all be right. Most likely none of them are.

In Christianity faith is a gift from God, and I believe that God does not hold us accountable for what we cannot be held accountable. So you show your love for God in a more difficult way then me and Christians, from my view.

Faith seems like a pretty lousy gift. The ability to just blindly believe something, despite lack of evidence or even evidence to the contrary. I prefer to use evolution's gift of intelligence and rational thinking.

And if what you say is true the I count you as a fellow Christian, from my view. In other words I beleive that you will go to heaven, if you contine to seek the Truth in charity. I would not call you a Christian because naturally you don't want to be called a Christian becuase you don't believe in Jesus lol. And I don't mean to be disrespcetful.

I used to be a Christian, in that I swallowed the Bible's teachings whole, never questioned them, and went around feeling like God and Jesus were looking out for me. I was young and very impressionable. During my time as a Christian, I felt the wonderful warmth of a caring community, but I never experienced anything supernatural or divine, not even once. Anyway, I eventually grew up, went to university, and atheism naturally followed.

if Jesus was in front of you and asked you to put your fingers into the wounds in his hands and then he floated up to heaven you would believe. lol

If that happened, I'd grab the nearest person and ask if they saw Him too. If they didn't, I'd check into a psychiatric hospital.

But one thing to realize about human existance is that because we are limited in our capacities we cannot know anything for sure, we can only know it to like a 99%.

And you're hoping that God fits into that 1% that we don't yet understand, even though the 99% of the world we do understand lacks any evidence of his existence. That's just wishful thinking.
