Rick,

<<I would imagine you don't respect Christianity because it requires surrender of believers' wills to their God. I believe in individual existential responsibility and you consider me cruel. >>

Christianity is a belief system that places compassion foremost in our thinking. God said He desires compassion and not sacrifice. Unfortunately many Christians are as dumb after conversion as they were before. The result is Christianity today is terribly misunderstood.
Your words to E must be like a whip on a raw soul. You don't understand the suffering being talked about. God does not want any to suffer and He certainly does not put suffering on people.

Jesus said "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load is light."

He also said this to the religious leaders when He was on earth, He would say it again to many of the religious leaders today.

"Woe to you scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel about on sea and land to make one convert; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourself."

We have to find the real Jesus amid all the confusion.
