It's so easy having a "personal relationship with Jesus Christ".

If you don't hmm I fear for your salavation. The Bible plainly states unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, meaning you believe he was God in human flesh and only belief in what he has done for you can save you well then you my friend are lost and on your own when you die. No doctrine, Pope, ritual, creed, or church can save you. A golden question I learned in my apologetics course I was to ask any Catholic who believes a church or works can save you is....Why would you want that to be true? Really think before you answer and be honest. If you seriously meditate on that question and are honest with yourself, it may just change your life.

I was lied to on many occasions by well-meaning fundamentalist/evangelicals in college and have a bit of a chip on my shoulder as a result.

I know I should give it a rest, but being human, I'm occasionally tempted to make a dig at fundies.

Fundies tend to be very self-assured of the correctness of their position so I imagine my mild taunts don't have much effect.

Years of reading the Bible, studying theology and philosophy have convinced me that fundamentalism is fundamentally flawed, but to each his own.

Your comments, however well-intended, as always with fundamentalists, were completely unrelated to the point I was making.
