Subject: RE: BS: Why should anyone believe in 'God'?
Slag...you have ceased discussing and begun preaching. I do not know whether you can see the difference between what you just said and what Joe Offer just said, but it is important.
" It's as simple as John 3:16 and even a small child can come to that faith, be born again and know God through Jesus Christ and yet it is so deep that it is an inexhaustible well of knowledge and wisdom. Christ is not pushy about it. He did what He did. He sent His people out into the world to proclaim His good news for Mankind but He leaves the decision in your hand, take it or leave it. "
that is PREACHING. And within it are implicit statements that Muslims and atheists and Hindus and all others who do not 'accept Jesus' are in deep trouble......and THAT is why we who are not religious are concerned. Many of those who believe as you do are trying to impose this set of beliefs on others.
I, and many others, are willing to quietly coexist with believers, but we are not willing to have laws and behavior controlled by believers......and this IS a continued, ongoing issue, whether you personally, are guilty or not.
