It didn't convince me of that. You take the broad path and enter the wide gate, you end up in place without God for eternity, which is what I guess you want.

I've always thought that the whole diety thing was a nice idea, but given the warp and woof of human history (and mankind's stunning ability to self-decieve when presented with the inexorable or the terrifying) I just could never bring myself to believe it.

I can see that point. But for me, the existence of love makes me think God is a certainty.

Heh. Consider the alternative:

"Religion convinced the world that there's an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there's 10 things he doesn't want you to do or else you'll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you!"

Consider for a moment the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Creator of the universe chose to become a man like His creation. Rather than remain nebulously untouchable, beyond our vision; He injected Himself into our time domain to clarify everyones minds regarding reality.

Jhn 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

A person cannot know what is truth, nor know the Creator, until they have recognized Jesus Christ's perfection. No other man has been or will be perfect. In His perfect Deity rests our Salvation, for His sacrifice was the ransom that brings about the pardon we need for fellowship with His Holiness.

Who wants to enter an eternity that houses evil? Therein lies our need for the washing that the blood of the cross accomplished.
