I’m a Bible believing Christian — non-denominational. But not Catholic.

And some of us have enough love for our Catholic brothers that we do not call them names. At the core of their religion they see the truth, we just believe that man-made tradition has added to God’s Word. They do not believe in scripture alone.

But I think either tradition would love to have an atheist come to the Lord. Christians rejoice when someone finds the Lord, and not through the cold steel of a blade — but through the brokenness that comes from the realization how how we have rebelled against our Creator who gave us life, and then sacrificed Himself for us even as we continued to spit at Him.

I think therein lies the difference between Islam and Christianity — which I think is where this thread originally started.

For someone to not be able to force himself to believe in imaginary creations does not mean that he rebels against them.

For example, your belief in winged pigs, and my lack of the same, doesn’t mean I hate or rebel against winged pigs.

Your illogic is hilariously faulty.

Christianity is not a cafeteria.
