I'm going to get in trouble for this, but I have to ask. Just where and how does Jesus "save"? I don't really see much concrete evidence of Him doing much of anything. When Marx said "religion is the opiate of the masses", I think he hit the nail on the head. For example, what did He do to help out the 13 soldiers at Ft Hood the other day when a desciple of Allah decided to kill them?
This guys name is Jesus Saves and because he asks a question about rehiring in "UPS", you find it necessary to bash his belief. I've noticed that you do the same bashing when someone has a different political opinion than yours.
Jesus did what He did on the cross over 2000 years ago so that you would have a way to approach God without having to offer burnt sacrifices, which were a temporary answer for the sin problem. If you've read the Bible and seen the text "that whosoever believes in Him shall have eternal life", then you have the answer to what Jesus did for those 13, as well as all that have died by terrorism, murder and any other way in which death can occur.
God didn't make us like birds or other animals that have to do things a certain way. He gave us free will to live as we want. Even if that means not believing in the very one that created you.
Not a whole lot. The "fact" that they are in "Heaven"(if they were believers) may help soothe the families, but I'm guessing most of the victims would prefer to still be here.
You are assuming this, of course, because you don't believe. Not everyone will live into the hundreds. If everyone lived that long, how crowded would the world be? I would suggest that before you start quoting Marx that you familiarize yourself with what others believe so that you at least have some understanding of where they're coming from, even if you don't agree, because that, my friend, is sound wisdom.
Also, why do religious people insist of spreading the gospel at every opportunity?
Because that is Jesus very last request of them. He says to go into all of the world preaching the good news, and if you thought you had great news that would help someone, wouldn't you be shouting from the rooftops?
Isn't it possible to have a conversation without inserting religion into it?
Yes, it's possible, though it depends on if one is being prodded or not. Some share their faith by words, some by deeds and some by just their outward appearance and character.
Thank you. I'll shut-up now and await the verbal assault by the righteous.
