>>I don't understand your post. Christianity is not about the purpose of life as previously stated, it is about sucking in sinners with a promise of salvation.<<

No, that is not true. It is also not about giving money to televangelists. It is also not about the Crusades, or the KKK or any of the number of other things men have done in the name of Christ.

The Bible says what it is about.

Yes.

God (Old Testament): Man is evil and I will keep whacking you till you learn better.

Matthew: God, we are really having a hard time recruiting with all this whacking going on ...

God: You are right, we need a new message. What do you think about 'salvation'? That has a nice ring to it.

Perhaps you would like to explain what it is 'about'.

"Atheists don't have that. In such a world, stepping on a clump of grass is no more moral or immoral than raping 5 year old children and then killing them."
