Getting a little less small now that most countries don't carry a death sentence for atheism....
4% yeah you guys are setting the world on fire. when voltare the noted french atheist of the 1800's died he said (when atheism was at 3.5% within a 100 years all religion would be dead.) The international bible society bought his house and print bibles out of it now.

You have no point.
There were hundreds, if not thousands of gods, invented by humans.
You are an atheist also.
You are an atheist with respect to them all except for one.
That makes you about 99.999 % the same as all other atheists.
Despite the fact that you *call* yourself a theist and a Christian, you actually don't even believe in the Christian god.
Christians believe that Jesus was the divine son of god. You don't. You invented yourself a one-man cult.
Humans have been inventing religions (just like you did), (not since the beginning of man ... far from it, but I won't confuse you with the facts),
and others have been dismissing their nonsense, just like we do, for just as long .... and virtually ALL of those religions have not withstood the test of time.

what about a friend?
have you ever decided that a friend isn't really a friend and he/she is just using you and you end the relationship?
Same process sport. you decide whether or not on one level or another if a person is compatible. here you are doing the same with a system of belief. or are you just a lemming made to follow the one infront of you hell or high water?
You don't get to decide what the nature of Reality is.

And you fell for that line ? LOL
The relationship you have is with the fantasy in your head. You have no promise of eternal anything. "Salvation " was cooked up by the early church.
Jesus did not preach "salvation". Jesus was a Jew. Jews did not believe dead people go to heaven.
Quote:Love neighbor as self which for me= to help people like you with the truth of God's word, and to love God with all of my being= turn from a love of sin, and do what i can/understand to live as best i can in service to God..
you assumed no answer or a complicated one?
what is so hard to understand the golden rules?
Love God with all your being
love neighbor as yourself?
Actually Jesus said "Whatever you do the LEAST of these, you do to ME" .... whenever you insult people here, you are insulting Jesus ... clearly you love insulting people with all your being, not a god.
You insult Jesus all the time, as he said. You're the perfect example of a hypocrite.
Quote:Religion isn't a choose your own adventure book .It has very real metaphysical and consequences many of which a totally incompatible .One of you is wrong and the other is right , And you have no means of telling a Buddhist you got it right .
Wrong again. You could both be wrong.
BTW You just contradicted yourself. First you say it was/is a choice (see above) and here you say the opposite. Which is it, *sport* ?
Quote:if you can not provide an example or proof/context then there is no further point to continue this discussion.
If you *cannot* spell the word "cannot" correctly, there is no reason to continue, as you obviously lack even a 5th Grade education.
I have no reason to discuss anything with a clearly ignorant fool.
