Amy if Jesus wanted to give me gnats I would take them too!
But to be offered a free gift of salvation means I would live eternally with him in heaven. So I will except his gift of salvation. And thank him for it!
He is Risen Amen!!!!
Now get some rest you have a big day tomorrow. Love and Peace that surpasses all understanding to you.

You are falsely advertising. It is not a free gift. It is an offer. It is an offer because one must satisfy certain obligations before receiving the alleged reward. Those obligations include:
1) the belief that jesus is god and savior
2) repentence of alleged sin
3) (in some christian sects) baptism
According to my understanding of christianity, one must do at least the above 2 or 3 things. Hence, salvation is no free gift at all. It is an offer.
If some corporation was advertising as you did, they would be reported to the better business bureau. You make your religion sound like a cheap used car.

Jesus Christ is a fictional character. But even if he weren't, in what sense is the "gift" FREE?
If you don't accept this compulsory offer, according to Christian doctrine, you'll burn in the Lake O'Fire forever. That doesn't meet my definition of a "free gift"
Besides, how stupid is that story anyway? God created man sinful (which he knew because he is omniscient), then punished him for "sinning". He waits a few thousand years, sends part of himself to earth and allows himself to be crucified as a blood sacrifice to himself. Then, because he is god, he goes back to heaven. So now God is happy, as long as we BELIEVE this retarded story?
I'll pass.

Gnats?
If he's god, couldn't he do give everybody... gnats.. without all the drama of dying and re-rising?
Can you provide any evidence, or should we just believe you because you said so?
(I think if he really existed, this would be one typo he would magically fix)

Will you accept the free gift that Oden the All Father wants to give you? He hung himself on the tree of life so that you could feast forever alongside him in Valhalla.

Jesus was a fictional character from a book designed to control uppity Jews. He cannot give anybody anything.

Jeebus wants to give me free gnats? No thank you.
Free gifts are never really free. There's always a string somewhere.
