Do you have a problem with accepting that probability as a reality when the time comes? I doubt that you have the power over rule Jesus's decision. You seem like a decent person who doesn't really have to worry about being burned in hell. I'm in the same group of people as you as far as that goes. Me, I really like American life and I really like being an American. So, I wouldn't mind coming back and making sure that America stays the way that is down the road if that option is available to me when the time comes.(05-06-2019, 01:41 AM)Classic-Xer Wrote:(05-05-2019, 10:54 PM)taramarie Wrote: Being Christian doesn't make a person good and being a non Christian does not make a person an asshole. Anyone with a brain should know that one. An asshole is just an asshole whatever belief system. Actions and beliefs notoriously do not play well if one is not a well person. The hypocrisies are startling especially when it comes to those of faith going by their supposed beliefs. I have had Christians tell me it does not matter how good a person you are. If you don't believe, you will burn. As a non believer I laughed it off, but still found it interesting how some think its a fkn club and only they are "pure" of sin and can find peace after death. What a load of toxic rubbish.I wouldn't get upset about a tinch of Christian anymore than I'd get upset about a non Christian. Whatever...
This is not an upset. This is an observation.
I thought you said you were not on board with traditional Christianity and fundamentalism. You said you think you must believe in Jesus to go to heaven. That's fundamentalism. That's what the religious right says.
America is a nation of immigrants. If America stays the way America is, that means it will guarantee freedom of speech and press and basic rights for all regardless of race or creed, and it will be even more America if it repeals the 2nd Amendment.
