Quote: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.
Just so you know, not all Christians are Catholic. Nowhere in the bible does God demand worship. That's merely a Catholic thing, and there's a lot of things Catholics do that other Christians don't.
A common misconception, but don't judge us all by our worst denominator.
