Regarding the OP: So, what if the dude had asked Jupiter, Amon-Ra or Allah for help instead of Jesus? Would he have stayed in 'hell' or would he have woken up? And would he have become something else than a chrisitan? No? Oh, I get it, christianity is after all the one and only True Religion™ after all.. What a load of bullshit.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
