Until someone can provide me with indisputable evidence pertaining to the truth behind religion, life, and death, I will continue to debate it, but still keep an open mind. I don't believe God condemns others to Hell for not believing in Jesus. I'm convinced the truth has become so skewed that we really cannot determine what is the "right" religion, and I think the choice of religion has to do with someone's personal views. If there is an all-knowing power, don't you think he/she would know our confusion and therefore be merciful, despite our individual beliefs? If not, it makes God less than "perfect" in my eyes.

As for Jesus appearing in the flesh, yes, I do believe that, and believe he was a great person. But he might not necessarily have been the "Messiah" we are looking for.
Hey, Lethal G, good post! First off, I'm a born again atheist so I can get away with not giving religious matters much thought. It could be that your search for truth or meaning is stuck on the concept of "the Messiah".

Are you really looking for a Messiah? If you are then you're probably close to subscribing to some form of religion that holds God as the supreme authority. I won't try and sway from that search, it's none of my business...

but I'm irreverent as hell...
