Your belief system is fundamentally predicated on the idea that you have to turn to Christ if you want to save your ass from turning on a spit in hell. This 'salvation' is, according to some of you, the entire reason there is a universe. So let's have some integrity and admit that Christianity is, at its heart, a naked expression of that self-interest philosophy. If it wasn't, Christian dogma would have no risk/reward balance. Or very many adherents.

I get it. You think Christianity isn't the answer. Then step up and answer the questions about your beliefs?

1) What is your highest hope?

2) Do you live your life as if determinism was true?

Do you mean the philosophy that we are slaves to our neurochemical desires? That's not a philosophy. That's neuroscience.

Are you then embracing the idea that you are a slave according to science?
