If I held a gun to your head and said "you have freedom to choose, obey me or die" do you really have a choice?
That's the choice the xian god offers us...in his mercy.
I think the reason I'm getting so many "thumbs down" is because my remark hits too close to home. Its easier for them to shut me out then contemplate the truth of my analogy.

I don't understand.Why would you chose walk away from a Father that loves you no matter what?From the beginning of time he knew you.Before you were in your mothers womb.He Knew you.He knows what you have done,are,and will do.An the answer was the cross.He is the extreme Father.He couldn't stand losing you.The world believes you can earn salvation.But how would you top the cross.?I have a challenge for you.Watch The Passion of the Christ.An remember he could have walked at any time.He chose you over himself.Chose life.
The rules are for protection,and a warning.It would be a irresponsible Father that wouldn't warn of us of dangerous behavior.

I see where your coming from on this but I think you've gotta see it from whatever Christians you know's point of view too. i don't knwo them at all so they could be really pressurising which isnt good.but maybe theyre looking out for you. i mean, whether you belive it or not, they believe it and they believe that its a life or death situation so if they care about you theyre bound to tell you and not give up because they dont wanna see you hurt when theyve found something that gives them so much joy. and yeah, you do have choice and that is great freedom, no one can ever force you to believe in anything, no matter how hard they try and you cant force them to belive anything, no matter how hard you try.

That would be called Satan. Since you seem to notice that you have a choice, God also made a choice. He gave his only begotten son for YOU and if YOU don't accept him, and you CHOOSE to deny him, he will deny you before the father. Not to get all churchy or anything, but just wait til the day when Jesus comes. It will be the BEST day for me, and it'll be HELL for you. Goodluck with that. If you actually read the bible, you'd know.

La Vey, do not vilify Christians as they vilify others. It sets a bad example. How will they ever learn to behave if non-Christians don't set a Christian example of loving thy neighbor for them?

I can absolutely accept your choice even though I disagree with it. What you do or do not believe is up to you as it will affect only you.
