What would it take to make you a Christian? (non-theists)
The point was raised in HM Rob's thread, in a strange manner that didn't work so well.
So here's a direct question for the atheists of Secular Sevens; what would it take for you to become a Christian?

11 Replies in this Sub-ThreadNothing less than 100% proof the Christian God exists. And it's funny reading all of these internet-tough guy responses that even if God was proven to exist they still wouldn't worship him. Would it be the "right" thing to do seeing as God tends to be a humongous wang? No, but if it was proven not worshipping him would land you an eternity in the kind of torment you literally cannot comprehend, and worshipping him would land you an eternity of happiness, you would have to actually be fundamentally retarded to not worship him. As incomprehensibly stupid as the incomprehensible pain you'd be feeling in hell.

Of course it doesn't. But from a Christian's point of view, God is the one that makes the rules that people have to follow, and the only way to get onto heaven is to truly love jesus and truly be sorry for your sins. Even if the only sin you ever commit is not believing in jesus, you go to hell. Even if christianity was right, i couldn't be a christian.

Edited by Forever Berg: 8/13/2013 12:13:02 AMWell I'm Catholic, but I don't believe in hell because I think it was misinterpreted in the Bible from the translation from Greek to other languages then to modern versions. In the modern New Testament it mentions angels who have sinned are waiting in "hell" while in very old copies of the Bible hell was never referred to as hell and was more used as a description to either Hades or jail. Angels who need judgement wouldn't be in hell so it wouldn't make much sense anyway. Basically how I believe and was taught is that hell doesn't exist (if Satan was bad, why would he torture bad people?) but instead we have a time of judgement and reflection of our lives to look at our lives and find resolution to them. If you didn't live as a person of good will and of love and following of the ways of Jesus, then you must wait to enter the kingdom and reflect long and hard to find resolution on your actions so that you are ready to enter. That means you could be gay and do gay things but be a good person and find ease at bringing peace to your soul because you lived a good life. If you were in Africa where Christianity isn't found, as long as you lived a good life and followed the way of Jesus (not selfish, helped others, gave efforts and some of yourself to benefit others positively) then you could find peace and resolution and enter. It really doesn't matter as long as you were a good contributor to society, humanity, and the world..
