Like I said before I'm sorry if I'm missing seeing peoples posts, but I can't get used to AF's cluttered forum layout (especially the multi-quote thing) and I often lose track of who said what.
What exactly are the "iffy" things Jesus said that you're having trouble with?
"He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Matthew 10:37"
So what? JC knew there'd be ructions within a family if one of its members decided to follow him instead of the old traditional religion, so that verse is just to let them know he's got their backs, and they quickly realised-
"Jesus saved you from the empty way of life handed you by your forefathers" (1 Pet 1:18 )
"Don't conform to the pattern of this world" (Rom 12:2)
"You were dead when you followed the ways of the world" (Eph 2:1/2)
Same when I'm leading my human squad in the Armed Assault 3 computer game (below), I tell them "Forget all you've heard before and just stick with me if you want to live"..

From God's perspective, there is no difference between a world filled with atheists and a world filled with apostates, heretics and blasphemers.
A world bereft of True Believers has no need for Atheists.
Not sure I understand mate. What is a "True Believer"?
Remember, a lot of 'christians' think they're true believers, but have got a nasty shock coming-
Jesus said- "Not all who call me "Lord,Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven. Then I'll tell them plainly, I never knew you, get away from me" (Matt 7:21-23)

Jesus wants to tune us in to the harmony?! What a goofball.
Better to be kool and tune into 'The Force' rather than be jumpy and irritable..

Sounds fun, there'd certainly be fireworks if they're fundies and I set them straight..

Where do they hang?
