It's ok for Muslims, Hindus, Mormons, etc to heed your advise but don't try pinning "keep your religion to yourself". towards Christians. Several problems here Chris. First the idea of "getting in by the skin of your teeth" doctrine is known and exists in all the religions who profess faith in the God of Abraham. Secondly it appears that you know nothing about the religions you just grouped together except that they are not your special brand of Christian. This makes sense since religious zealots usually know nothing about the targets of their condemnation. Third, the doctrine to leave the judgement of souls to God is one of the strongest doctrines of Christianity so it appears you know nothing of Christianity either. Forth, I have never told anyone to keep their religion to themselves so your rant is completely out of context with the post you are responding to. Fifth, your attacks on me have never had anything to do with the principles of faith professed by many fine Christians that I know personally and, therefore, amount to nothing more than bigotted hate, and bashing. Aside from the fact that you seem to be ignorant about the mission of Christianity and seem to be looking for excuses to thrash anyone not in your group, you pulled a complete 180 degree opposite interpretation on what you quoted. I can only guess that that was deliberate. "Religious people need to leave judgement and eternal just desserts to the One with authority over it." Unless, you think you are on Earth as a judge of souls? Which would make sense considering the content of most of your posts.

You have just set forth the very reason Christians are so obnoxious to everyone else. I am sure you are the salt of the Earth in your own mind. Salt, as you may know, is a poison in sufficient quantities. I think you may be poisoning your own mind, and it's really unfair to insist on poisoning other people who do not wish to receive your dreadful salt. You may be the only people living in a "dying world." I've no idea why Christians want to live in such a depressing place- but to each his or her own- I think what you live in is your own creation. I live in a living/dying world- it's all part of a whole. And it's very cool. Too bad you don't have anything really fun and upbeat to share. Sharing a dead guy on a cross who claimed to be a son of a deity really isn't much fun- especially if you think you are sharing it in a "dying world." I just can't imagine your mindset. Do you worry at night about the dying world? Do you fret about sharing your salt? You seem to be a bit obsessive/compulsive about the whole thing. Does it bring you any real pleasure? (Or is pleasure something you really don't find important?)
