My problem with the 'live a life of a Christian and you can't lose' is the following.
1) I love sex. I have been having sex with a couple of different women lately. I have spinal muscular atrophy and there are a TON of things I cannot do. Sex, however, I can do. Most Christians sees this as immoral. fuck them.
2) if you become a Christian for safety sake (I am not saying you did, EH) then you must be reading Cliff Notes of the Bible. that's not how it works.
3) I try very, very, very hard to be a good man with great morals. I am nicer than most people I know in real life and I try to be straight forward and honest. When I had spare cash I always put my change in charity bowls, I use to do toys for tots and adopted kids who wanted specific toys.
4) For arguments sake let us say a god DID write the Bible. Since it was written multiple people have tampered and changed it. We have no clue whatsoever what was in there for the Truth versus what was in there for political convenience.
5) If god wrote it and allowed people to rape it then he can't be so terrific t begin with.
I rather be a good person and go to a 'bad' place full of good people than a 'good' place ful of arrogant dicks, including god.
