Do these people not understand that our spirituality has become enlightened far beyond all their dogma and symbolic fables?
Do they not realize that becoming Christian again would be a spiritual regression for us?
Yes, I said again...most of us were raised with your horrifying belief system and would like better for our own children!

Well, let's see here. Over the past years, your enlightened spirituality has brought a crop of selfish, self-centered people into existence -- the kind who will steal, cheat, lie, and kill to get whatever they want, be it a corporation or a pair of designer shoes.
We have kids who take guns into schools and shoot their fellow students for the mere crime of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Bullying is at an all time high, and so is suicide among teens. And if we wanted to talk about drug use and teen pregnancy, that would take more bandwidth than we've got here.
Honey, if that's your "enlightened spirituality," I'll take my old-fashioned Christian values. I knew that if I cheated or stole or lied at school, I'd get it twice -- once in the principal's office and once at home. I grew up knowing right from wrong, and I also was taught that we are to respect and care for others.
All in all, you could do much worse than raising your kids to believe and follow our "symbolic" fables. And a lot of you already have.

Wrong again.
It is not my job.
It is God's job.
If he decides that you will be saved you will be.
If not you won't be.
A rather interesting part of the bible is.
Rom 9:16 So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
Rom 9:17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."
Rom 9:18 So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.
Why would he do this?
Rom 9:22 What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction?
Rom 9:23 And He did so in order that He might make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,
OLAY!

No, I don't think it is my job to save your soul. You have made your choice and I respect that. If someone asks me, I'll talk about my faith, but if no one asks, I keep quiet. However, I expect the same from you.

There is nothing better than Christ. He is the only truth there is,everything else is illusion,that is here today gone tommarow. You aren't enlightned,only decieved.

Did you make your reservation for Hell yet? Because if you deny Jesus you will go to Hell when you die. Do you really want that for your children?

Your soul isn't ours to lose (again), it's yours. Faith, and salvation is personal, has nothing to do with us. What you do with your life is your problem.
Only Jesus can save your soul, if you are willing to do your part.
