Could you please respond to the question in a reasonable way? What drew you to Christianity as opposed to the hundreds of thousands of other religions that have existed? Did you even choose it? Or was it forced on you as a child?

A reasonable way to you would be unreasonable to me. Your reasonabe answer would exclude God.

Do you have no family or friends or neighbours at hand who can intervene and perhaps then also help you with your New Year's resolution? Thread 171349

Then go get some sleep. Just lie down on the sofa. Put some music on. Let yourself fall asleep.

After reading you say this, it is now apparent why you are a Republican.

Most don't deserve what you deserve. Typical... and repugnant.

Jesus must be a Republican because he is the one who said few will find salvation.

If you have a problem with God making it this way blame Paul for what he wrote in Romans 9.

I have a previous thread asking "who's God is correct"?

All faiths seem to think their God and belief is the 'correct one'.

My struggle has always been...that if a Supreme Creator does exist, why keep the identity unknown? Why allow the possibility for God, Jesus, Buddah, Mohammed, Allah, etc.?

Something is wrong, but I cannot successfully articulate it.
I believe it's arrogant to think that any one religion is right. Even within something as derivative as Christianity, you have so many different denominations thinking their slightly different version of the Witch's Brew of religion is the true one. They can't all be correct, but they can all be incorrect. I personally don't think some kind of perfect god character would be as humanly flawed as the one people like Eladar choose to bow before.
