A very Jewish perspective because only they worshiped Johavah.A bit hard on the millions of others that did not. If there is any consistency in Gods work then perhaps only the Jews are worthy of being saved after all ?

Saving faith was a bit hard to achieve for all those who lived before Jesus. That remains the fundamental flaw in the saving faith argument. Why would God deny salvation to the millions of good people who lived and died before Jesus ? There will always be this disconnect between this conversion...

Stephen Fry's take on the matter.

That is a classic psychopath response-You made me do this!I did not want to punish you but you made me! They set up their victims to fail.

That is very human perspective.Suffering is not just confined to humans. Animals suffer terribly from things such as predation,disease and hunger.Indeed it seems that God has deliberately designed an animal kingdom in which suffering is an essential ingredient.Right down to things like crows...

The essence of Christianity is that it requires self sacrifice.It is not about what it can do for me but more about what I can do for others.Nobody has a monopoly on that.

The specifics of what you believe or what church you belong to does not matter.Belief alone will not save you.What is important is how you live your life. Jesus was very clear on...

Well the Habibs is pretty mild but before that came Fat Pizza in which the Lebanese characters were all drug dealers. How about Father Ted....now THAT was a funny show about Catholic priests- and not very respectful.
