I have a faith and belief in God, yes. But that hardly qualifies me for any superiority status. I will not compromise my beliefs. But I know one thing, I'm sick and tired of the nasty little namecalling that goes on with a particular person more than others.
So tell y'all what, y'all clean your front porches and I'll clean mine. Y'all stay off my porch and I'll stay off yours. :wink: But as I have been told quite often, if I know of direct evidence proving something said is incorrect or in direct opposition to something stated earlier, I am going to point it out.
Well, I need to point out that the claim that you know the only way to get to heaven and that everyone who doesn't follow your beliefs will burn in hell is one heck of a superior statement. While you may not feel superior, I think deep down you believe you are, or you have faith that you are.
I just love it when I tell people how I really feel and they turn around and tell me it's not what I feel NOT! That is what the Bible says (believing in Jesus Christ). I didn't make up the rules. God did. You get to decide what you want to do just like anyone else so I'd say that puts us on an even plane, wouldn't you?
You made the choice to believe in god. You then made the choice to believe in Christ as the son of god. You then made the choice to believe in your particular beliefs about the bible. You then made the choice to believe that your interpretation of the bible is the correct one.
You've made several choices out of the possibility of hundreds. You think god made the rules, but you've chosen to follow THAT god.
You believe your choice is superior or you would have made a different one. Please show me how I'm wrong here.
Isn't the correct choice superior to the incorrect choice? You believe that you've made the correct choice, which means that the incorrect choice is inferior.
I'm sick of Christians and really all other religions trying to lie about their beliefs on superiority to others.
