Really depressing seeing all the church slamming, even more depressing then the knee-jerk GTA reference. Replace "chrch" with "school" to get a reference to how this should probably be viewed.
Anyhow, it's still amazing how well that kid can drive. He beats me any day.
School is more important than church.
I view them as equally important. If school is more important, it's only slightly.
Please explain your reasoning.
Well, that would probably require a whole book worth of ideas I've picked over my entire life, but lets shorten it to say that if Christianity is true (which I fully believe), then you should definitely immerse yourself with messages from someone whose spent his life learning about the Bible to get yourself ready for eternity.
No one said being a Christian is easy.
Pretty good answer.
My turn:
I'm not well versed in religious matters, but what I understand is that Christians believe that good people go to heaven.
What I understand is that heaven is a nice place where you get to relax and stuff as a reward for being good.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on that by the way.
If I'm right: why would you need to get ready for that? Wouldn't it make more sense to learn about this world in order to live longer in it and make it better?
Correction: People who believe Jesus is the Saviour go to heaven. Good deeds don't cut it. If anything, The real way is easier.
And if you don't immerse yourself in these teachings, and are regularly pounded by popular culture saying "religion is evil/sadistic/stupid/despicable" (at root, it is none of these things), then you are going to stop believing that Jesus is the saviour. Hence, you don't go to heaven.
It confuses me why there aren't more Christians, if not other religious people, when one's ticket to heaven is really quite easy to get.
EDIT: I just realized how much I've derailed this thread.
