I think that you have a distorted view of the Gospel and Christians.   So your provoking me, by questioning my faith is not that bothersome. 

I don't know of any scripture, that says that there is going to be a theological test, that you must pass in order to be saved.  Further, I don't think that their is a scripture that says that you have to be a part of this particular church to be saved.  If you think it does, then show why you think that. 

So in this way I would agree with you... I don't believe what you seem to be putting forth.  But I'm not saying that you need to either.  Also most of the other Christians that I know, don't seem to fit what you seem to be describing either.   So whether you where taught  poorly,  have an , or you are just an angry atheists who takes the worst of everything or twists it to be so in order to make an argument.  I don't think that we are taking about the same thing.

See, this is where doubts about the sincerity of the christian faith in contemporary society arise.  You either don't know magic book or are willing to deny magic book when speaking about magic book to a less-than-supportive audience.  How can you have faith in something you don;t know about, and if you did know and had faith would you be so eager to distance yourself from it in response to criticism of what could only be Other Christians™..other than yourself, as a purportedly faithful and absolutely not cynical busybody? Those guys are assholes who have absolutely failed the theological test, surely we can agree there...with "jesus", lol?

None get to the wizard except through magic man, and though many will call themselves christians..on their day of reckoning, he's gonna say "new phone, who dis?".
