God is the one that puts right and wrong into beings flying around fire in the giant black hostile space. Poetry runs out of the hands of the life made in His image. No matter what religion you belong to you have to face the fact that you also belong to one family of humans on one rock. I could never make someone believe in Jesus Christ and accept the forgivness given by Him from God HImself. I believe strongly though that we humans all need forgiveness from God because we offend Him. The Good News is, through a personal relationship...NOT RELIGION, but through a relationship and active dialouge with Jesus Christ you can approach God! You can! Indeed there are Christians that no body ever knew except God.
For the record, Christian is wrongly defined in the dictionary. Yes its true.
Youll find in the bible which is the writen basis of the Christian faith, that when a person accepts Jesus Christ into their lives they become saved.
Religion means a set of rituals based on a set of beliefs
Letting Jesus in your heart is not a ritual therefore being born again into Gods Kingdom is not a religion either.
Dont get me wrong, I am religious, I am pentecostal, but that is not what makes me a follower of Jesus Christ. What makes me a follower of Jesus, is Jesus and my personal relationship to Him, not the things I do in His name.

Comment by Daria Black on January 31, 2011 at 2:42pm OMG I love that Richard Pryor picture.
Why would I want to join a religion where I have to go through a middle man to talk to god when there are so many others that allow me to speak to god directly? Seriously, please develop a personal relationship with reality.

I like how every time a new christian jumps onto the site they have to immediately proselytize and give the same sermon that was repeated to them by their minister. Hopefully by the end of today we could set a new record for refuting Paley's argument in the month of January! Derrick, we understand your arguments, your messages, your relationship with your god, but throwing up some unoriginal blog post about it is not enough to gain respect. Give us some real ideas that provoke a real discussion and you wont get our tired, canned responses about the given topic. The worst part is, you seem to think your message is somehow the most original thought provoking idea and thought, "Yeah, sure, I will convert SOOOOOO many people with this idea, I cant wait to spew this garbage out" but instead you just polarized everyone from coming to have a healthy discussion regarding any idea you now have and let's face it, your only purpose hear is to thinly veil your attempt to be condescending by using 'compassion', and everyone hear is not fooled by it. So try again when you have some substance.

Too late for me, I already let Charlie the Unicorn into my heart.
