You pose things in a funny way. God isn't trying to have everyone be a club member (which is the perpsective you appear to have on Christianity). God would that no one perish, no one be left outside of His presence when the next phase of human development is realized, but some, in fact many, will choose to be separated rather than bow to the Lordship of Jesus and accept the gift of salvation that comes only through Him in His cross and resurrection. You are free to choose, accept or reject. ... Is that what's got you so flustered at God?... He isn't forcing you to be saved?

If that is the image I'm projecting, sorry. I have no idea what God wants. To me, it appears that Christians are convinced that they are the only ones that know what God wants, and that is that everyone should be Christians. I merely believe that one should believe what one wants, without trying to convince other that they are correct. I ask these questions, because I try to understand why people believe what they do, and the majority of people on freerepublic just happen to be Christians.
