yes, I agree fully.
"One should not think, 'My religion alone is the right path and other religions are false.' God can be realized by means of all paths. It is enough to have sincere yearning for God. Infinite are the paths and infinite are the opinions." -Ramakrishna Paramahamsa

Why I don't care for Bible thumpers -- simple, I do not care to be judged. The only true judge should be God herself. She is the only one who has the right to condem me to hell or welcome me to heaven.

No one likes to be judged, yet we (speaking of most people) do judge and we also claim that God judges. How can this be? If God gave us the free will to choose our path and make any choice along the way, if God were to judge and condemn, then this Free Will given to us means nothing? That it is taken away? Not offending your view, but just expressing a thought.

In-the-meantime, it is up to me to discover my way, not someone else.

I've had way too many Bible-thumpers pass judgement on me over the years, so admittedly I tend to put my "defenses up."
IMHO, Lebell is correct, the best way to convert is to live the Gospel. He does just that, and as a result, I'm returning to a Christain church -- something I never thought I'd do.

Way to go! |
