Weltall, you make good points; but it isn't that simple. Loving someone is loving someone...I'm sure you love your god, and you love your mother as well. That's fine, but your religion commands you not simply to love, but to fall to your knees and pray. That's where I believe it turns unrealistic. Praying to show your love is one thing, that's called 'PRAYER'...the word 'WORSHIP' in turn is what christians must do to retain their status as a salvation-toting elite people. If god's love were so infinite, I don't think he'd contest people and send them to hell...even if that were satan's work, were god almight he could intervene.
Were do you get this Elite business from? Didnt Jesus get the rich to sell their possesions to help the unfortunate?Did he not say all are open in the eyes of god even the lame and the slow,Didnt jesus cure the blind and the give comfort to the meek.
Why do you have trouble with people worshiping god when people have no problem giving their lives to their nation and standing up and worshiping its amblems.
May I add I dont believe in hellfire and I maintain that it has no place in the bible and isnt a true christian doctrine.
As for divine intervention that day draws nearer when the devil will face judgement. Injustice will be no more.
