Christianity has become very convenient, convoluted, and marketable. I honestly believe that worshipping God is the most difficult and challenging act humanly possible. I also believe that most people don't have the discipline and self-sacrifice needed to continue in absolute devotiong.
My opinion is that most are either cowards and hide behind the esteem of being an aethist, or are too self-centered and resort to customizing their own religions. On the flip side, is it possible that a "Personal Relationship with Jesus" is another way to customize, and make convenient, the most difficult calling in life: Serving God?

That's a pretty broad generalization, dear one! And since you don't know "most people," I have to disagree with you and say that you mostly sound confused about what you believe!
Born again Christians are neither cowards, nor are they incapable of the "discipline and self-sacrifice needed to continue in absolutely devotioning" We are VERY capable and we DO sacrifice and maintain discipline in our lives. Apparently you have never met born again Christians and for that, I'm sorry, because you've missed some wonderful relationships!
God bless!

Yes, I think it is. I see a lot of poster on here who claim to know Jesus as a personal savior and yet are very judgemental - something that Jesus specifically warned against.
I also agree with you that seeking the truth about God takes true commitment and dedication, and I don't think a lot of born again Christians really want to learn the truth, but want an easy answer.

If you don't believe in God, then Jesus cannot be anything to you, He is God the Son, as in the Trinity, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost

You should have a person's phone number if he's your 'personal anything'.
Do you have Jesus's number?...If the answer is no, forget about the rest.
