You are absolutely right. I am humbled by your insight. What a great God that even in spite of my unworthiness He condescends to a relationship with me.

I am glad that salvation depends not on my works, but God who has mercy.

Jeff, Sam Harris wrote this in "Letter to a Christian Nation."

Quote:There is, in fact, no worldview more reprehensible in its arrogance than that of a religious believer: the creator of the universe takes an interest in me, approves of me, loves me, and will reward me after death; my current beliefs, drawn from scripture, will remain the best statement of the truth until the end of the world; everyone who disagrees with me will spend eternity in hell. ..

Read it closely. He's talking to YOU.

This seems to be guilty of argument ad hominem. The truth of Christianity (or falsity) is not related to my being arrogant or not.
