KevinM1 quote- *decloak*
I can't be the only one who finds the classic guilt trip tactic of "Jesus just wants to be your friend... why don't you want to be friends with him?" equal parts laughable and despicable. It's the kind of thing that works on children and the weak-willed. "You don't want to let this fiction we've presented as an ever present authority figure down, do you?" Fuck off. That kind of shit won't find traction here.
*recloaking*

Not sure I understand what you're getting at mate, are you one o' them philosophers who don't take things at face value and are always trying to find hidden agendas and stuff?
Jesus's offer to us all was simply- "I'm throwing a big party in the sky and you're all invited".
Sounds good to me, I'd be nuts to refuse..
