I refer to my erlier question, included below. I recieved six answers, most from non Christians.
Why are revealed religions based on fear of loss, or hope of gain?
It is rather interesting that revealed religions in general work on the premise that if one holds certain beliefs; one is rewarded with a promise of some theological place of eternal bliss. If one does not subscribe to this certain believe system, one is doomed to a theological place of eternal punishment.
Since nothing else in this reality simply works on a believe system, e.g. believing you can fly doesn’t work well if you jump from a 200 ft. cliff. Thinking that you are bullet proof will most likely get you killed. In reality there is cause and effect, no matter how obscure. “The kingdom was lost for want of a nail.”
Why is it, that the so called truth, directly from God, operates very much like a believe in Santa Claus? If Tommy is good, he will be rewarded with gifts.
