I am just trying to plant a small seed. I know there are people out there hurting and sad. Jesus loves you and He wants you to be happy and at peace.

WOW, this is the most wonderful question I have read, God Bless you!
Remember that not everyone will answer to accept but will be rude. If they don't accept or hear, is because they are not chosen. Don't let nothing discourage you from the word of God. Continue doing the good labor or the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christianity makes a mockery of God. At the same time that Christians claim to worship God as an omnipotent, omnipresent, omnibenevolent being, they make him out to be incompetent bumbler. Or worse. Simple forgiveness is beyond his capacities. God must "sacrifice himself to himself to change a rule he made himself!"
This is not only an absurdity, it is an essential absurdity. It is present in almost almost all forms of Christianity, and one can scarcely remove it and remain a Christian in anything but name. By definition, all Christians worship Christ - in some form - and most worship him as a saviour.
But what, exactly, is he saving us from? Though it varies from church to church, no matter what they call it, it's God himself. A hell created by God, a world fallen as a result of God's negligence, a separation from God imposed... by God.
"It is a counterfeit love that is contingent upon authority, punishment, or reward. True love is respect and admiration, compassion and kindness, freely given by a healthy, unafraid human being."
- Dan Barker, Losing Faith in Faith Christianity certainly isn't the first religion to promote appeasement of its gods, and if it were merely another supernatural protection racket, it would be bad enough. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop there. Christians elevate appeasement to the realm of "personal relationship", transforming their religion into a true monstrosity.
This is the type of "relationship" that abused wives have with their husbands, that brainwashed hostages have with their captors. It is known in clinical circles as Stockholm Syndrome. Should it come as any surprise that the cries of the church, "The Bride of Christ" sound much like the cries of an abused wife attempting to protect her husband?
"He must beat me."
"I deserve it."
"He has no choice."
"It's for my own good."
These excuses don't work for human abusers, and they work even less well for God. For if God is omnipotent, he must have a choice. And if we are flawed, we are only flawed because that is the way he made us. (No excuses that we ruined his perfect creation. A truly perfect creation does not self-destruct.)
If the Christian God does exist - and I see no reason to believe that he does - he's not worthy of the name.
And that is the ultimate absurdity of Christianity.

I already have. But I must warn you. Many people who read this (non-Christians) are going to think that you "forcing" your views and opinions on them. They are going to think that your conceited and intolerant.But don't be discouraged sister! God knows the true intentions of your heart, He knows the pain you feel when seeing the lost. You did your job and He's proud of you. Just don't be when faced with hostile responses. God is forever behind you. Praise Jesus!

How can you accept something into you that was placed in you at the beginning? We are all born with a spark of the divine that Yaldaborath (aka jehovah the demiurge) hid in the matter of our bodies, so in essence we are all Christ, Sophia, and The Source to begin with...therefore no need to.

No thank you.
Would you like to accept the King Leprechaun into your heart? Because they are both fairy tale creatures.
Learn the difference between reality and mythology ok?
