Calm down, sweetheart. It'll be okay.
Look, if you are happy with a gameshow God, who hands out eternal salvation only to those who believe in him no matter what their circumstances, that's fine by me.
Only to those who believe in Him? Wow, have you been woefully misinformed. No wonder you're so bent against the whole thing; I would be to, if that were my understanding. [Accountability warning: do not read this next line is you don't want the truth] God does not 'grant' salvation based on someone's belief in Him. Salvation has been granted everyone. His existence is not the issue. The issue in salvation is accepting what the Lord Jesus Christ did on the cross as your payment. That is it!
It's interesting, though, that you resort so quickly to personal attacks against a person you do not know.
I can assume by 'personal attack,' you are alluding to my labeling you as 'arrogant and stubborn.' Help me through this one, if you don't mind? If God calls a person who does not yield to Him, arrogant, what should I call the same person?
If a person is caught in an especially vulgar faux pas, but refuses to apologize for the same, what should the same be called, if not stubborn?
As you certainly are not ignorant, in terms of general education, what other adjectives would have been more fitting?
Perhaps I should have called you a pedophile?
There seems to be a lot of hatred in your heart.
Nothing but love, stranger, nothing but love. Okay, every once and while, there's a little perturbed that gets in there, a smattering of arrogance, and just a scosh of lust every once and a while, but other than those hiccups, nothing but love.
