1. God LOVES you and offers a wonderful PLAN for your life.
"God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life" John 3:16.
Why is it that people are not experiencing the abundant life?
2. Man is SINFUL and SEPARATED from God. Therefore, he cannot know and experience God's love and plan for his life.
Man Is Sinful
"All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23.
3. Jesus Christ is God's ONLY provision for man's sin. Through Him you can know and experience God's love and plan for your life.
"God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" Romans 5:8.
4. We must individually RECEIVE Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; then we can know and experience God's love and plan for our lives.
"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" John 1:12

God-Shaped Hole, wasn't that a NIRVANA song?
Christian theology, if set in the proper chronology, is so unbelievable as to be nonsense. It's only those brainwashed as kids and told the story in a certain sequence who believe it. But for those hearing it for the first time it would sound like this:
A Perfect God with full knowledge and foresight made an Imperfect creation with sin and suffering, the only solution being NOT direct action (since human Free Will is some kind of force-field or something) but God cuts off a piece of himself, calls it his Son, and then sends it down in a pathetic piece of street-theater to go get killed for the amusement of some Romans and Jews. So he sacrifices himself to himself, this reflexive act then changing nothing in the universe which goes on as before. Sounds pretty silly, doesn't it?
No, religions are too many assumptions about claiming there's a God, and then the precise way he thinks which means there must be a precise way for you to act, yet that contradicts the other religions with nothing special anywhere to help you decide which religion to be a slave of. As Susan Powter said, "Stop the insanity!" It's just as easy for God to use his awesome power and forgive us all, whether we heard of him or not before, or whether we practice good or evil, so we can all live in those infinite rows of condos in the sky. Wouldn't that make more sense? Or is "sin" some plague that God is afraid will be set loose in his area and he's got a case of the NIMBYs?
Sure, I can be bad, but things average out, and I'm not going to mollify my ego with this breast-beating that I'm a sinner. I'm very smart, I'm even GRRRRREAT! When I get going in typing, I fart fire, man! What can your masochistic religion possibly have for me?

The only cavity inside me, my alimentary canal, is filled with digesting food, putrefying animal flesh, and fecal matter.
The parallels boggle the mind, but I'm being polite today.

My extensive knowledge of human anatomy, shows no god shaped anything in the human body.
I have performed hundreds, and hundreds of CT scans, MRI's and X-Rays. No unexplained holes anywhere.

Repent of your sins and trust in the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sin.

Thor, and the other gods and goddesses filled it perfectly.

It SEEMS that one fills the GOD-shaped HOLE by CAPITALIZING words at RANDOM.
