and do you think people should read the Bible, since after reading it they seem to end up thinking they know better?

in other words...

Did the occurences, upbringing, and experiences you had AS A CHILD create or mold who you are today?

Is the Holy Trinity one with God? Or is He just one God?

Wouldn't it be better to have not been born than to spend an eternity in hell?

Well, I belive in one god, but if asked to I would participate in other religions' rituals I would. I belive in gay marriage, but dont belive in abortion. I don't know if I am a good Catholic or not. And I want to welcome God into my life again, but I don't know if I should change my belives.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Jesus didn't kill anybody.

If yes, what made you think you deserved more than innocent kids dying of hunger, kind people being tortured, innocent families being slaughtered?

How come he helped you and not the kid who believed in him growing up but is still starving?

I got a Mormon guy fired because he was downloading porn, sending porn via email, and saving porn on the server. (This is a corporate policy issue, not a moral one) One of the titles was the "Houston 500", certainly can't be argued as a mistake -- it's pretty hard core.

The very funny thing about this story is that he had his typical mormon family picture with "his 2 little girls and his perfect mormon wife by the temple " sitting on his desk.

His Manager used the excuse to the HR guy: "Come on, this guy is a Mormon -- He goes to the Temple". As if that was supposed to get him off the hook.

So has this ever happened to you? Were you this guy?

Personally, I cannot stand religion. Religion is a strict adhearence to a set of rules. That is not what Christianity is about at all, we are all about having a living relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Religious people are those who are stuck on the rules and think you must obey them 100% to go to Heaven.
Jesus wants us to accept the gift HE made available for every person, that is the gift of eternal life. The only thing we need to do to is accept the gift. If you chose not to accept it then you have chosen to spend eternity away from God.
What is your choice?
