Yes. Jesus is so good that he will save even murderers, or the likes of you and me.

People with a working conscience who exhibit compassion do not need saving. But fundies sure do.

Then that is exactly why I want nothing, and I mean NOTHING to do with any cretin that would accept those that commit atrocities, just because that entity is worshipped. Such a cretin is a narcissist, interested only in itself.

I guess you see nothing wrong with this, do you?

The presumption is that a profound change in attitudes and ideas took place in the former murderer.

And your view of God is too low. You think a god that created the universe simply by speaking would be so low as to accept your or my actions as good enough to earn his favor.

So what? I don't care if a murderer found God and changed his ways.. He is still a murderer... Why Christian fundamentalists would rather spend eternity with that guy, than someone like myself, who is a good person who simply doesn't believe in that particular God (and has never murdered anyone, or even harmed anyone physically on purpose), is very telling. They do not care about people, unless they are of their faith, and meet their standards.

My view is higher than any god that is postulated here so far. I have never condoned slavery, I have never taught how to beat a slave, my son has never advised how to beat a slave, I don't call for genocides, I would never allow a rape victim to have to marry the rapist, and I would never allow women to be viewed as less than men.

I AM more moral than the god of the bible. That cretin is a monster. A narcissistic, racist, misogynistic monster. And you worship that god why? Seriously, I bet you are more moral than that god.

Well, he would have to accept our actions BF. How else would he judge any human? So by your logic, being a good person simply isn't good enough for your God, you also have to worship him and tell him how great he is? And a murderer just has to feel guilty and change his ways to be accepted, but I go to hell because I didn't worship hard enough??


Do you really not see how ridiculous that sounds?

Jesus asked the young ruler..."Who is good?"

Compared to God, no one is good. The only way we can be good is to have Jesus as our propitiation.
