He tried to warn us to find Jesus or go to hell. This was my response:
I found him. I work with him. I have also worked with other members of the Christian pantheon like the Archangel Michael. I am Wiccan.
I also work with a host of other gods and goddess from various religious pantheons. And guess what? Jesus and the members of the Christian pantheon smile on it and accept it. They know that they are all a part of a greater whole.
You, on the other hand, find yourself in a religious claustrophobic box of hatred towards others of differing beliefs. All the prayer in the world will not save you from your own ignorance. And yes. One day you will find yourself in the heaven you so aggressively proselytize about. You will be with your kind. A group of like minded xenophobes who are terrified of anything that is slightly different from yourselves.

On the other hand, I will find myself in a far more inclusive location. I'll be able to have a chat with Gandhi, speak about all the mythological constructs with someone like Joseph Campbell, or simply have a nice stroll with Bach while asking, "How did you come up with the system of music that we use to this day?"
I much prefer where I'm going. It will be quite the gift. With this thought in mind...
Who really is the loser?
Now to everyone here, I ask the same question. Who are the real losers in this continuing religious battle?

Love Sheppard - when you become a member of a specific group that tells you their way is the best, this fosters xenophobia due to its basic exclusivity.

I you would assume that i am one of those like minded christians that you speak of. However i embrace all religions, i used to practice wicca. I have many friends of other religions. I find all religions facinating and always ask questions wheni dont know. everyone is entitled to practice freely what they will. If i dont agree with what they do, instead of bashing their religion or commenting on how i think they are " like-minded" or what not, i ask questions to find out why they feel they way they do. But i NEVER degrade them or tell them how better off i will be, because that is how they feel in there heart. i have gone to religious celebrations of other religions. knowledge is power, and respect is precious. If you are so proud of your religion, then do not bash others, just speak of how great you feels yours is, but do it without putting down the rest.
i love Jesus and feel that everythign in the Bible is true. However i am not pushy with my beleifs.
And you should stand for what you beleive, but do it respectfully. Ask questions and gain knowledge.

Come on. He was not a real Christian. Just a troll trying to get some attention. You are welcome to make up whatever world you want to, but we do believe what we have is true. And what does xenophobia have to do with Christianity?

Ok.
A real question, or do you just need attention and make sure your answer is read by all? It is clear that the other guy is an idiot, not so much for his belief, but just for his brain.

The 'losers' are those with closed minds and hearts.
