"Christians live in a forgiven state." --Mountaineer

It always comes down to this. I could be forgiven by all my friends, live a just life, love others well, and still I would not live in a "forgiven state" as the Christians do because I don't believe in a book they hold dear. I could live a happier, more loving life than the most gruesome murderer, but because he has honestly repented of his sins, he has favored status and will go to heaven.

Well, I say poo-poo on your exclusionary forgiveness club. Self-righteous twaddle, is what it is. Why would god say, "Here is your life. Now, you are not allowed to do what you want to do because if you do, you will go to hell and burn for all eternity. Have fun!"

Poppycock. If this is how god is, I hope I meet him for one brief moment so I can cut out his scurvy heart with a double headed axe, gouge out his eyes, then spit in his empty sockets.
