"I'm thinking of converting to Christianity."

An eternity in Heaven sounds great...oh hang on, you have to get up on sunday mornings. Nah.

I have many choices.

I only have two choices in your situation if I believe in your God.

However, I don't and therefore I don't.

Only one choice, Jesus or not Jesus and pay the price for sin yourself, just like Jesus did. I know which one I wanted.

Yup. Can't agree more.

Edgy, with the Lord, there are no other ways, you either have Jesus or you don't have Him.

Like I have said, NONE of us are "good people".

Don't convert to 'Christianity', you can't just start reading the Bible, praying and going to Church if you don't know about Jesus.

Jesus died on the cross for you, so that He could give you an escape from sin and eternal life. Do you want that?

I have been trying to tell you that, none are good, we all fall short, we are ALL bad people and are sinners.

That maybe how others are reacting. But I am one of the most open minded people I know. I am willing to listen to other peoples ideas even if I do disagree. After all, that is the only way to learn.

However, he doesn't just follow his beliefs. He just wont accept that other people may not see things the way he does.

Then he goes one stage further by telling people they're all wrong.

That is why people have a go at him. Not for his beliefs, but the way in which he attempts to enforce them upon others.

Well, nothing.
It's not even a religion, with just me in it - just my personal set of morals, beliefs etc etc. Which, if you think about it, it exactly what everyone else has.

Everyone's got a religion, but only a few have got a name for it.
