a baby that is born into this world is forgiven? for what? why does your god think that we owe something to him and it's a him right? because men are greater than women? where do you think that idea comes from? you don't understand what you are supporting...
Who could write that stuff? The quotes are Jesus' words.
It seems your bias, distrust and hate for Christians just blinds you to the real deal. You have no openness to any concept that Christianity can have good aspects to it.
Just read your last paragraph! It doesn't make any sense. It's rubbish.
God doesn't "make" us do anything! he gave us "life" and "free will" to either love Him or NOT! You choose NOT! I chose to Love Him.
Some things are self-evident. Some are not so much. I chose to reach out and find out for myself about God. NO PERSON TOLD ME! Nor a book, or otherwise!
God revealed to me His love and wisdom through many ways, people and events.... Once I asked!
But you, like MANY don't want answers...because you have all the answers. At least in your own (made-up) minds you do!
All I can say is, you are missing out. Not only in God's Love, but the joy of being at Peace, and harmony with life in general.
Sure we Christians have problems getting the message across. And we have our share of nuts that make us look bad. The majority are trying to do the right thing. And be good role models.
But, you won't let us! You would see the whole community die for the transgressions of the few. That is wrong! Without Christians in the world there would be a lot less charity. There are no others that give and help more than Christians!
