Organized religion, with a whole set of beliefs and rules and restrictions, is not innate - it has to be learned.  It seems that a "loving" god would make his love for us, and the one story that tells it, innate to all his children, instead of making it into a test that eternally condemns those who never hear about it or can't bring themselves to believe it.[/quote][b]

NP. You just can't get over this point, can you? You bring it up on every thread. Let's skip what always follows: some Christian posts to say there are many paths to God as long as behavior itself is Christ-like, and then the resident fundamentalist pipes up to say that's all wrong and non-believers are indeed going to hell. We've all been through this dynamic many times and it's derailed a gazillion threads.[/quote]

it's hardly derailing to discuss various beliefs on a forum about religion.  Simply by saying paths to God go through Christ is implying Christianity is the only path that leads to good behavior, which excludes many other people who believe in God who are not Christian.  It also realates pretty well to OP's question, which initially shocked some readers who didn't understand the concept of progression from God to Jesus.

Finally, PP did not "skip what always follows" and instead posted it.[/quote]
