It is comforting to know where to find salvation and it is charitable to tell others, the real tragedy is when everyone believes everybody can attain salvation on their own terms.

I'm glad you feel comforted. Perhaps you can explain to me what you meant by the last half of your statement above?

Just thought I'd let you know I'm back on FR and have a new pinglist (in addition to the Homosexual Agenda pinglist) called "Moral Absolutes Ping list" - it's admittedly subjective, whatever interests me in the realm of universal moral absolutes, why they're needed, and what happens when they're rejected.

I don't cover homosexuality (my other list) or abortion particularly, since it's covered with other lists.

Maybe I'll check this thread out tomorrow - must get sleep...

Take this sort of reasoning, for example: A man says, "My religion, or an important part of it at least, is to respect your religion, regardless of what it is."
Or, "I hold that Christ is Divine. If you say He is not Divine, I have respect for your belief."
Do you not see that that is an awfully funny creed? I get into Heaven through Christ, and you get into Heaven without Christ. That is a strange division in a world in which we are meant to be one is it not?
