A question for Christians
Topic Started: Sep 17 2006, 03:30 PM (195 Views)

Recently I've been having the "somethings missing" feeling in my life. I've been researching religions to see if maybe that's the answer. I'm very interested in Christianity, but I have a few issues with it. One of my biggest issues is that the only way you can reach god, get to heaven, etc. is through Jesus. So, according to Christians, will everyone else who has a different religion not be going to heaven? Even though the majority of them are worshipping the exact same god? What do you think?

Do the best you can and smoke a few bones along the way. You'll be alright.

What does "smoke a few bones" mean, exactly? :mellow:
...and in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Sorry, Fiona's just explained what you mean - must be American euphemisms because I haven't heard those before. We naturally have our own lingo here.

I have, however, 'been there' - as you say. ;)

Me neither--probably because I'm old as the hills. ;)

Of course you answered your own question, only through Jesus can we reach god. And if you believe and have faith it will compfort you until your dying day. Thats the scam of organized religion. Instead believe and have faith in that holiest of spirits that flows through you. God does not have an ego the size that some "christians" would like you to believe, he/she loves us all and will respect your choices regarding religion, as believing in God and following your religion are two very different things.
