Here's the thing... what if the Christians picked the wring God to worship? I mean, c'mon... the world's religions are, for the most part, mutually exclusive.

If one DID pick the wrong God, all they're really doing is pissing off the one true God every time they worship the wrong God.

Ask the little princess how, with all of the literally thousands of Gods out there being worshipped, she rationally picked the Judeo-Christian God as the correct one. I'd like to hear her logic.

Surely, with her soul being at stake, literally for all eternity... she didn't just latch onto the first one that crossed her field of view.

Or... Did she?

I would like to have heard the actual message from the preacher, instead of the interpretation through a "pre teen"...

maybe you should too.

I picked Zuess. Dude is badass. I'll be the only one here crossing the river styx while the rest of you rot in the ground because you failed to put coins over your eyes for the boatman.

The real point is what this pre-teen got as the take home message.

What?

Are you frickin' kidding me?

SeaFive was - and is - a moron who can't argue his way out of a paper bag. His one and only tactic is the Straw Man. He takes someone else's position, re-words it into a weaker circumstance, asks the OP to defend the re-worded (and incorrect) premise, and declares himself the winner when the OP refuses to play his silly little game.

He even sucks at that. He can't hold a candle to Prospero at the ol' "Straw Man Sucker Post" game.

I don't know what Islam preaches but it has no bearing on what Christianity preaches. Christianity does NOT preach violence and anyone that commits violence in the name of Christianity is not a Christian.
