Actually....Jews don't believe that. There is the concept of being a 'rightous gentile'. However there are similarities between Christians and Muslims.

I don't know that much about the Muslim faith (and refuse to believe the lies of the right wing theocrats) but I know that, as well, not all Christians faith automatically damn non-believers to hell. The Roman Catholic church doesn't (though some individual Catholics may attempt to claim that power.)

Yes, I am really rolling my eyes as well. I've not seen any typos so great, ore misspelling so heinous (oooh....did I spell that correctly? )that have prevented any posts from being understood.

Why not comment on what is being said?

Um, no... can't speak for the others, but that's certainly not true about Judaism. Considering we don't believe in hell, that wouldn't make too much sense - would it?? Also, since we're against the idea of conversion, obviously we don't care who believes what!

Yes, you are 100% correct... as I typed a few seconds ago, before reading your post.

I have. The poster thanked me for having to pull out their bible to double check their beliefs, because they are obviously *cough*solid*cough* in their faith. I merely returned my thanks for having me crack open my handy dandy dictionary.

Okay, I have to LOL at that one, now that you've explained... it's sad but true about many online postings.

arguy1973 ,you are welcome.
I really appreciate it that you rethink about your religion after reading atheists' posts.

However,someday,when you realize what you used to believe is wrong and decide to join we atheists,you will thank us a million!

Have a nice day!Enjoy your meditation on religion.
