5) there is no downside to belief in Christ. If you are on your deathbed it may be your only hope and it would be absolutely foolish not to grasp the only rescue rope you have. If it's not true you haven't lost anything.[/quote]

Am I the only one who notices that Christianity is exactly like a deal with the devil?

You're just making a deal with Jesus instead. You're literally "selling your soul" in exchange for security in the afterlife, the mirror of "selling your soul" to "Satan" for security in this life.

If your acceptance of your deity is based on fear of what might happen if you don't, you probably want to rethink whether or not you're in an abusive relationship.

And I'm not an atheist, btw.[/quote]

Yes, you probably are the only one who notices, because your interpretation of Christian beliefs is so far off base.

It has nothing to do with "making a deal" with Jesus to "sell your soul for security in the afterlife."

We, all of us, including you, PP, were created by God, a soul made in the image of God. You, like every other human, have fallen away from that, and spend your entire life trying to get back to God - to the feeling of wholeness that comes only from His love. The Way Back to Him is Jesus Christ.

It's not a "deal" that you cut for the afterlife. Following Jesus is literally discovering who you are, why you were made and what your purpose is. It's anything but abusive. The abuse, we do to ourselves.[/quote]
