You gotta go through Jesus, Starman.

Why is it so difficult for nonbelievers to leave believers alone? They will deny Him till the end. Then they’ll be REAL sorry. Trying in vain to curry favor with the great destroyer. Who are the one's trying to curry favor? Think about it. Well, your comment is thought provoking and that is ok. So, I thought about....”curry favor”.....looked it up.... “To seek or gain favor by fawning or excessive and insincere praise.” Wanna try that with an all knowing God? The God that knows the true nature and motivation of your heart? That dog ain’t gonna hunt. Thank you for demonstrating one of the arguments against Pascal's Wager. Let's presume for a moment I was wrong. I'd rather stand before whom ever that god happened to be as an honest man and not one who pretended to believe, when of course, an all knowing being would know the dishonesty and con I was attempting to run in a bid to get into his/her version of paradise. Yep, Pascal’s Wager is bogus from the word go. It assumes that the “choice” is made by a man without input or influence from God. Totally unbiblical. You will not find me defending the theology inherent in Pascal’s Wager. The error or perhaps “risk” you may not be aware of is that God may “play the videotape” and show you dozens or perhaps hundreds of times that the one .... “you” in your statement above...the one standing before God did indeed reject the Son and the Gift. “Honest” rejection and defiance of God at the last will not work out well. But, like someone said....” a man has to do what he thinks is best.”
The tax collector said: “Lord Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner.” Jesus said he went home “justified.”

Faith is just that! It’s Faith!!! You either believe or you don’t. It’s that simple. Some people say you can’t prove God exist. I always say you can’t prove he doesn’t. It’s up to the individual to believe or not to believe.
Just my 2 cents.

If you destroyed all religious books, as well as all science books..
Came back in 2000yrs, only the new science books would read the same.
Why is the christian god better than jade emperor, or the umpteen hundred hindu gods? Why are there so many gods...
Why is christianity, being a much younger religion, right over far eastern religions.. that differ entirely?

Christian views and understanding of their God Vary and can vary dramatically, as if they were not all refering to the same god. If they all had the holy spirit like they claim, Would they not all stop fueding and unanimously agree on their god? Pretty much...with scatterbrain sheep you gotta Put a fence around them , or sheep dogs or shepherd.

I know that God answers prayers. My wife and my children know that God answers our prayers. My brothers and sisters know that God answers our prayers. My best friends know that God answers our prayers.
My wife and I were just talking about this very thing a couple days ago as were my brother and I. We all concluded that as we grow older the clarity of God’s hand in our lives becomes unmistakable. The number of times that our prayers were answered and our lives or the lives of our dearest loved ones were led out of the darkness become more than mere coincidences. My wife and I felt sorry for those that believe that God’s hand in our lives and the blessings he’s bestowed upon us are simply coincidental, for that would be a lonely existence.

There was feuding and tension and conflict among the very called who were ‘with’ Jesus...and in the early church. People are different, and they see things differently. They feel differently and have different perspectives about things.
Whether it’s politics or theology or marriage or raising kids or finances, etc....
Jesus didn't call everyone to agree on everything, but He did command his followers to be united by unconditional love.
Every day on this side of the ground is a win.
