Why can't believers and non-believers simply agree to disagree? Why is it so embedded in our natures that we must be right, and others must acknowledge that we are right?

I keep hearing people say that no matter what you do, God will always forgive you, unless of course it's not believing in him, but also that life isn't measured by how many good tasks that you do, so people are saying go ahead and do bad things and stuff that doesn't mean anything because God will forgive you anyways and they wonder what the point is in doing good things.

Is the church's responsilblity to teach people from right and wrong in the community around them. Let's say that a man is beating his wife and daughters, can the church go out and tell them that it is wrong to do that.

I get this a lot from Christians. First they tell me to read their Bible. When I tell them I already have, they tell me I obviously didn't understand it.

But it's really not such a difficult book. It's even translated into my own language!

Weirdly enough, when I read Voltaire, Kierkegaard, Schopenhauer, Rousseau or whoever, I never get accused of not having understood what I have read. People accept various opinions about their ideas.

My problem is, I'm constantly being told to read the Bible, and accept Jesus, else I will burn forever.

I have read the Bible, I understood every word. Nice stories, beautiful metaphores, but I also see how we humans have grown intellectually since that book was written. A lot of the Bible is pure nonsense.

So, shouldn't God have given me a better version of His Word, if he really wanted me to make a choice between heaven and hell? If I have read the Bible, understood every sentence, found it false; How do I ever get Jesus in my heart?

I just had a recovered childhood memory.
I remember getting a pack of candy cigarettes when I was a kid. A neighbor bought them for me. My parents were pissed when they found out and I couldn't understand why. Those cigarette companies were brilliant at marketing! 12 years later I was hooked. I'm 27 now, that must've been 20 years ago.

I feel sad at throwing away a pair of those heated hand warmers that last for 7 hours. Today at work I felt sorry for the bag of trash that I took from the warm store and tossed into the cold, unheated trash chute.

Real christians aren't offended when people doubt their salvation, because they don't doubt it themselves. And real Christians aren't sarcastic like Catholics, because they don't rely on their own understanding. They rely on God's. Catholics have spent their lifetime trying to defend false doctrine so they have alsmost perfected their defense to the point that you can't reason with them. And if you ask them to prove what they believe with scripture from the Bible, they start quoting from somebody that's not even in the Bible. Catholics have always judged other people for being heretics, when they are ones trying to earn salvation by performing all these rituals and rites, after Jesus already saved from the law of moses with grace. They just love religion is what it is and don't want to let go of it. Islam and Buddism are religions to, but it wont save them, because the only way to Heaven is Jesus.

i.e. many questions posted about the socalled 'ignorance of Americans' however many americans angrily respond that it is a stereotype and not the real face of America. However ask them about australia (as i have) and they mention kangaroos and koala bears. are they not stereotyping as well?
