Questions for the liberals

Gods word and the Gift of Christ is meant for simple people and those who accept him as a child. A person can be saved immediately if he surrenders his life to Christ and asks to be saved. God enjoys confusing the "wise"...see Tim Tebow. The world is fallen and will strike out against the things of God. the world will also try to make people feel they aren't good enough to be Christians. Everybody is good enough...you must lose your life...to save it.

You get forgiven immediately. You don't get saved until you live a life according to God's will.

Just want to say I find the implication that not everyone (including atheists will be saved) to be incredibly offensive. So I demand you stop saying it. In return I will stop calling the Christian historical tradition "mythology", but rather, things which some people believe, but which others do not. Thank you, and lets have a less offensive Holiday season and New Year.

Take Jesus' example as moral instruction for your personal life, but people choosing to donate to the poor (for example) and being mandated to do so by the government are entirely different things. By the same token, marriage between homosexuals should be legal, because even if you believe it is morally wrong according to the Bible (I don't), that has NOTHING to do with what the government should be dictating or "allowing."

I have a problem with the Christian Right telling us that we are a nation under God, that we should be able to pray in school, that Christmas belongs in the public sphere, but.... oh no, taking care of the poor (an actual non-religious social function of a government) should be optional.
