Well, you can show them that they don't need eternal salvation because there is no such thing as eternal damnation. When I lost my faith in Jesus I felt saved because I realized that the majority of mankind isn't going to be tortured for all of eternity. |
Well, that may have worked for you, but you're part of that 5% that thinks!
How do we reach those who would prefer not to? |

| If you guys are pinning the success of Deism, as a mainstream belief system, on the hopes of getting people to think, and turning stupid people smart, you might as well just give up now. There's no tragedy in the human being comprised mostly of idiots, in fact wee need them to drive genetic diversity, and to keep the gene pool from getting stagnant.
