Default Re: Stuck Between Agnosticism and Christianity

I'm not using a don't test god approach bunny...I am saying I don't focus on hell...Yes, hell could be a result if I screw up, but I don't continuously focus on that...I focus on getting what I can get right right...and no I'm not faultless...

I'm not focussing on you and what will happen to you. Do you find it hard to reconcile worshipping a god who is going to torture other people for eternity because they made a mistake in interpreting the bible? I cant reconcile that sort of being with the loving god I believe in.

As for defending to guard against misinterpretation that may not be enough...I could defend something aptly and still misunderstand something or misapply something, but that's why we have prayer and grace and Christ as our mediator...Christianity isn't in how well you defend it, its in how well you trust in God...As for all the snares people set, that's to be expected...Division is easy, its Unity that's hard...and Christians are after unity with God through the gift of his Son...

Sure you can make a mistake - I didnt mean rationality was a flawless guide to truth. But you must be better off if you make an effort to defend your views than if you just smile beatifically and say "god told me" dont you think?
