To you, maybe. But clearly not to the vast majority of people throughout history or today.

I think we will all be surprised when God reveals all of efforts to get men to recognize Him and all of the evidence that was available if only man would choose to open his eyes.

Pride. You claim to know what is in the hearts and minds of those who believe differently than you... and you have chosen to believe that they believe differently than you because they are morally inferior to you. You choose to believe that those who believe differetnly than you do so because they are evil.

Jesus said those words in blue. I do not believe that non-Christians are morally inferior to me, for I know without a doubt that I am morally inferior. The only difference is that I've taken up God on his offer of a pardon. That's not much of a difference. I would that all men would take God up on his offer, and I don't understand why they do not. But Jesus pretty clearly said that the choice is theirs to make.

That's PRIDE, bucko. God's got a special corner in Hell for such prideful Christians. Christianity has no worse enemy than people such as yourself.

There is no corner in Hell for Christians, not true Christians. Heaven isn't reserved for people with works but for those whom Jesus knew. Hell isn't reserved for people without works but for those whom Jesus never knew. It's the relationship that's key.

Math 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

A lot of it is due to the fact that to some self-appointed uberChristians, belief in God also means belief in other things that are patently absurd, like believing allegory as literal fact.

> depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Bad news for the Creationists, then...
